NAME

       fp2anim - convert a gEDA/PCB footprint to animator script

SYNPOSIS

       fp2anim [options] [inputfile]

DECSRIPTION

       fp2anim  converts  a  footprint to a script that can be run through animator(1). It's main
       use is to have a automated,  light-weight  footprint  preview  generator  on  hosts  where
       installing pcb-rnd would be too expensive (e.g. on web servers).

       If inputfile is not specified, fp2anim reads its STDIN for the footprint.

OPTIONS

       --photo
              draw the footprint in "photo realistic mode"

       -p     same as --photo

       --grid unit
              set grid unit e.g. to mm or mil

       -g unit
              same as --grid

       --mm   use an mm grid instead of a mil grid; shorthand for -g mm

       --diamond
              draw a small diamond to mark at footprint origin

       --annotation types
              turn  on  annotation  types;  types  is  a  string  that may consist "pins" for pin
              numbers, "dimname" and "dimvalue" for dimension names and values  and  "background"
              for drawing a background under annotation text
