Export in 2D - Where is the documentation

Open Fredosixx opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Fisrt it is unclear whether to use model#export or view.write_image to generate 2D output files.

In both methods, I did not find a comprehensive documentations about the options availble to the API.

For PDF, there seems to be options for the export method (different on Windows and on Mac).

Apparently, the PDF options are also the ones for EPS format, at least on Windows.

For PNG, BMP, TIFF, JPG, there is no explicit documentation, but these formats seem to share the same option set, with a few details. I guess that the option hah table is the one for write_image

For DXF and DWG in 2D, there is NO documentation at all:

The 2D exporters don't have a good API support. Their options are not exposed. This is already tracked internally as an issue.
