Welcome to protograf’s documentation!
protograf is a utility written in Python for designing and creating simple, regular, graphical outputs in PDF (or PNG/GIF/SVG) format via a script.
protograf has been primarily created to handle the prototyping of cards, counters, tiles and boards for board games, including hexagonal grids, but can also be used for creating any simple design that has regular or repetitive elements; typically a mix of graphics and text.
If it’s your first time here, please consult the guide which presents the sections designed to be read in order; they all contain useful information designed to build on each other.
