💅 AUTO-MULTIPLE-CHOI(1) — the getimages one 💅

okay bestie, so this page is auto-multiple-choice-getimages from the Auto Multiple Choice fam (manual page AUTO-MULTIPLE-CHOI(1), yeah they truncate it like that, iconic of them). She's the little helper that gets your scan pics all cute and ready before they head off to auto-multiple-choice-analyse(1) for the actual analysis. Think of her as the glam squad. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

auto-multiple-choice-getimages — prepares scan images before sending them to auto-multiple-choice-analyse(1) for analysis 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

auto-multiple-choice getimages [--copy-to project-scans-dir]
                     [--vector-density density] --list list-file
                     [scan-files...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So auto-multiple-choice getimages is the prep step, and she's doing the most important backstage work before the scans get handed over to auto-multiple-choice-analyse(1). Here's what she's up to:

  • multipage image files get split up so you end with one file per page 🍓
  • vector images (think PDF, EPS) get converted into bitmap images 🦋

And where do the input images come from, you ask? Either:

  • you pass them straight as arguments to auto-multiple-choice getimages, or
  • you point at the name of a file that holds all the paths of the scan files 📝

no cap, that's the whole vibe.

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • --list list-file — gives the name of the file that optionally contains (one per line) the paths of the scan files. Heads up: this file gets cleared and filled with the paths of the scan files after processing, so that the same path can be passed to auto-multiple-choice analyse as the --list-fichiers option value. yes, she reuses the same file, she's efficient like that 💅
  • --copy-to project-scans-dir — gives a directory where to copy all the scans files. a whole lil home for your scans 🏠
  • --vector-density density — sets the density used to convert vector graphics scans to bitmap files. Defaults to 300. she's picky about her pixels, periodt ✨
fr fr, don't sleep on --list — the whole point is that the same path flows on through to the analyse step as --list-fichiers. it's giving pipeline main character energy 👑
