Command-Line

Print help
python MarkerPrinter.py
Print predefined dictionary list
python MarkerPrinter.py --list_dictionary
Save chessboard
python MarkerPrinter.py --chess --file "./chess.pdf" --size_x 16 --size_y 9 --square_length 0.09
Save ArUco
python MarkerPrinter.py --aruco --file "./aruco.pdf" --dictionary DICT_ARUCO_ORIGINAL --marker_length 0.07 --marker_id 0 --border_bits 1
Save ArUco Grid
python MarkerPrinter.py --aruco_grid --file "./aruco_grid.pdf" --dictionary DICT_ARUCO_ORIGINAL --size_x 16 --size_y 9 --marker_length 0.07 --marker_separation 0.02 --first_marker 0 --border_bits 1
Save ChArUco
python MarkerPrinter.py --charuco --file "./charuco.pdf" --dictionary DICT_ARUCO_ORIGINAL --size_x 16 --size_y 9 --square_length 0.09 --marker_length 0.07 --border_bits 1

Useful Options:

Divde output to chunks

If you are using consumer level printer, you will suffer from not able printing too large marker, so just set chunks shape at the GUI subSize entry before saving the marker to files, it will divide output marker to chunks. If you are using command-line interface, just add --sub_size_x x --sub_size_y y as parameters.

Page border

If you are printing the image directly, you will need add page border to protect the marker, so just set page border at the GUI pageBorder entry before saving the marker to files. If you are using command-line interface, just add --page_border_x x --page_border_y y as parameters.

Generate aruco data:

Although there is a built-in aruco dictionary data, but if you want to update the dictionary(If aruco update predefined dictionary list), just install opencv-python and opencv-contrib-python, and than run

python MarkerPrinter.py --generate arucoDictBytesList.npz
