Plakativ information
What is Plakativ?
Features
Plakativ is German for "striking" or "eye-catching" and comes from the German word "Plakat" which means poster in English.
Plakativ allows one to create a poster using one of three different approaches:
- I want a poster that fits into size X
- I want a poster Y times the input page page area
- I have Z pages of paper and want to print the biggest possible poster on them
It offers a GUI based on tkinter, a command line interface and can be used as a Python module. Everything is inside a single file.





Comments and Reviews
It has a gui that actually makes some sense. I find this very important in a tool that produces a graphical output.
