✨ pl_editor(1) ✨
okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual — yes it's a whole manual section, we're fancy here 💅
💖 NAME 💖
pl_editor — an editor tool for making your very own custom title blocks and frame references 🎀
ngl, pl_editor is that girl. With her you can fully customize the title block and the entire layout of a working sheet in eeschema and pcbnew. Fully. Completely. No crumbs left. 👑
She can edit the basic page layout items, like:
- lines
- rectangles
- texts — and these can carry format symbols that get swapped out for the actual text later, like the date or the page number… 🗓️
- polygons (mainly so you can place logos and special graphic shapes) 🌸
- bitmaps 🦋
And text? Text can be angled in any way. Any way at all. She ate and left no notes. ✨
