This tool uses python's
calendar library (which
provides modular ncal
functionality) to generate a TeX based, A4-sized wall
calendar with one month per page.
- Python 3
- A working LaTeX installation, including
pdflatex
.
./make-calendar.py 2012 # will generate a calendar for 2012
The complete invocation syntax is
./make-calendar.py <year> [csv-data [first-day-of-week]]
The second parameter csv-data
is intended to be used for e.g. birthday data
and the csv should have three columns containing:
- a description
- the date in
M/D/YYYY
format - a description for each data point
The first line of the CSV file is ignored
The third parameter first-day-of-week
is used to select on which weekday
(0=Monday through to 6=Sunday) the week starts. If the parameter is omitted the
week starts on Monday.
If you don't want the week to start on Monday, but don't have any custom data,
just supply an empty file.
You can change the calendar style in the file head.tex.in
. Note that all
lengths and widths are predefined for DIN A4 paper. Month and day names will be
printed according to LC_TIME
(or LC_ALL
if LC_TIME
is not set
separately).
