pdfschedule is a Python 3 script for creating PDF documents showing
one’s weekly schedule of events.

Installation
pdfschedule requires Python 3.7 or higher. Just use pip for Python 3 (You have pip, right?) to install
pdfschedule and its dependencies:
python3 -m pip install pdfschedule

Usage
pdfschedule [<OPTIONS>] [<infile> [<outfile>]]
Input — formatted as described below under “Input Format” — is read from
<infile> (defaulting to standard input), and the resulting PDF is written
to <outfile> (defaulting to <infile> with its file extension changed to
.pdf, or to standard output if <infile> is standard input).

Options

-C, --color
Color the event boxes various colors instead of just
grey.

-E TIME, --end-time TIME
Specify the time of day at which each day should start.
Times are specified in the format HH:MM using
24-hour time, the minutes being optional (and
optionally separated from the hour by a colon or
period). Defaults to half an hour before the earliest
event start time or 00:00, whichever is later.

-F FONT, --font FONT
Typeset text in the given font. FONT must be
either the name of a builtin PostScript font or the
path to a .ttf file. By default, text is typeset
in Helvetica.

-f SIZE, --font-size SIZE
Set the size of the font used for event information to
SIZE (default 10). The names of the days of the
week are typeset at SIZE * 1.2; the times of day
are typeset at SIZE / 1.2.

-M, --start-monday
Use Monday as the first day of the week instead of
Sunday.

-p, --portrait
Typeset the table in “portrait mode,” i.e., with the
shorter side of the paper as the width. The default is
to typeset it in “landscape mode.”

-s FACTOR, --scale FACTOR
Divide the length of each side of the table by
FACTOR. Without this option, the table fills the
whole page, except for a one-inch margin on each side.

-S TIME, --start-time TIME
Specify the time of day at which each day should end.
Times are specified in the format HH:MM using
24-hour time, the minutes being optional (and
optionally separated from the hour by a colon or
period). Defaults to half an hour after the latest
event end time or 24:00, whichever is earlier.

-T, --no-times
Do not show the times for each hour line.

--no-weekends
Do not show Sunday and Saturday.

Input Format
Input is a YAML list of dictionaries. Each dictionary
represents a single weekly event and must contain the following keys:

name
(optional) The (possibly multiline) text to display in the event’s box on
the schedule

days
The days of the week on which the event occurs, specified as a string of one
or more of the following abbreviations in any order (optionally with
intervening whitespace and/or commas):

Abbreviation
Day

Su or Sun
Sunday

M or Mo or Mon
Monday

T or Tu or Tue
Tuesday

W or We or Wed
Wednesday

H or R or Th or Thu
Thursday

F or Fr or Fri
Friday

Sa or Sat
Saturday

Case is significant. Unknown abbreviations are ignored.

time
The start & end times of the event in the format HH:MM - HH:MM. Times
are specified in 24-hour format, the minutes being optional (and optionally
separated from the hour by a colon or period).

color
(optional) The background color of the event’s box, given as six
hexadecimal digits. The default background color is either grey or, if
--color is in effect, taken from a small palette of basic colors based
on the event’s index.

The following input file:
- name: Garfield impersonation
days: M
time: 7-9
