geotz / callirhoe Goto Github PK

First off, great project!

I found an issue though (I think) that I can't seem to solve. I'm making heavy use of the "holidays" feature, and the font size for the holidays varies without any reason that I can see.

For example, in this calendar note the difference in header font size between March 5 and 6:

http://sinkingsensation.com/dropbox/clamming_tides-symmetric.pdf

That calendar was generated using the "symmetric" flag, so all the boxes should be the same size.

Is there some way I can set a fixed font size for the holidays?

Here's the command that build that calendar:

/home/callirhoe/callirhoe.py --cols=3 --style=lawsons --padding=0 --no-shadow --no-footer -H /home/callirhoe/clamming_tides-2017.txt --dpi=120 --symmetric /home/callirhoe/a4.pdf

And here's all the files required to build it:

And thanks again for the great work on this project.

we have to fix links in INSTALL/README/AUTHORS ...

I'm trying to build a single PDF for each month in the year. Looking at the help file:

Calendar of 24 consecutive months, starting from current month:
$ callirhoe 0:24 0 my_calendar.pdf

So I think this should make a calendar of just the current month:

callirhoe.py 0:1 1 march.pdf

But it's drawing some other month, and I can't figure out which.

Edited to add: oops, this is solved. The last 1 in "0:1 1" is a year offset, so it's generating the following year. But see below for another issue with the year offset.

I have made a branch where I implemented support for using the external library 
babel to translate months and weekday names. This gives support for many 
locales (something like 650) in one go.
Would you be interested in merging it? 
If so I will do a clean-up to solve some problems that the patch currently have:
* pdfs in Arabic, Chinese and some other languages have missing characters 
(most likely a font problem).
* the week_of_year_prefix is currently missing (should be possible to extract 
from the date formatting functions).

I'm trying to modify my calendar so the week starts with Sunday. Currently my calendar looks like this:

https://gizmoware.net/tides/clamming/lawsons_clam_tides_2023.pdf

I generate that with the following command:

./callirhoe.py --cols=4 --style=lawsonsAnnual --padding=0 --inner_padding=2 --no-shadow -H clamming_tides-2023.txt --lang "ENLong" --no-footer --header_margin=4 --dpi=120 --paper=a4w output.pdf

Looking through the help and examples I'm not seeing a way to make the week start on Sunday. Is there a built-in way to do it?

And thank you for the amazing software by the way.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run frozen script (zipfile) or provided script make_resources_list

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1. Script does not run due to non-existent hardcoded python binary (python2).

Maybe use 'python' or 'python2.7' ?

I'm using this calendar as a model:

http://gizmoware.net/tides/clamming/model.pdf

This is my current progress:

http://gizmoware.net/tides/clamming/2019.pdf

The main thing I can't figure out is how to add "inner padding" between the calendars. What I mean by that is separating the calendars with some space, but with only a single line between the calendars (as in model.pdf) as opposed to each calendar drawing a border. I think that looks a lot cleaner design wise.

I also can't figure out how to add a little padding above and below the month name.

I'm fine with modifying the code to achieve this. Currently I'm editing layouts/classic.py to remove the boxes around the day names, and layouts/_base.py to get the different colors for different holiday types (in my case that's different levels of low tide to indicate how good the clamming will be on that day).
