NAME
Valentina - Pattern making program.
SYNOPSIS
valentina [options] file
DESCRIPTION
Valentina is a cross-platform patternmaking program which allows designers to create and model patterns
of clothing. This software allows pattern creation, using either multisize sizing tables or an
individual’s set of measurements. It blends new technologies with traditional methods to create a unique
pattern making tool.

-l, --layounits <The unit>
Layout units (as paper's one except px, export mode).
-s, --shiftlen <Shift length>
Shift layout length measured in layout units (export mode). The option show how many points along
edge will be used in creating a layout.
-G, --gapwidth <The gap width>
The layout gap width x2, measured in layout units (export mode). Set distance between details and
a detail and a sheet.
-g, --groups <Grouping type>
Sets layout groupping cases (export mode):
* Three groups: big, middle, small = 0,
* Two groups: big, small = 1,
* Descending area = 2.
-t, --test
Run the program in a test mode. The program in this mode loads a single pattern file and silently
quit without showing the main window. The key have priority before key “basename”.
--pedantic
Make all parsing warnings into errors. Have effect only in console mode. Use to force Valentina to
immediately terminate if a pattern contains a parsing warning.
--no-scaling
Disable high dpi scaling. Call this option if has problem with scaling (by default scaling
enabled). Alternatively you can use the QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 environment variable.
--csvWithHeader
Export to csv with header. By default disabled.
--csvCodec <Codec name>
Specify codec that will be used to save data. List of supported codecs provided by Qt. Default
value depend from system. On Windows, the codec will be based on a system locale. On Unix systems,
the codec will might fall back to using the iconv library if no builtin codec for the locale can
be found. Valid values usually these:
