Generate Custom Sizes for ArtRage4

In the initial state, ArtRage does not have sizes such as A4 and B5 when creating a new one. However, since it is possible to add it as a custom size, it is not a big problem in itself, but it was a little troublesome to add it one by one, so I wrote a script to automatically generate it as a trial. (The operation was confirmed with ArtRage4 (4.0.4).)

The usage is like this.

$ python artrage_papersize.py A4 A5 B5 --dpi 300

In the above example

• A4 Land.spr… A4 horizontal 300dpi
• A4 Port.spr… A4 vertical 300dpi
• A5 Land.spr… A5 horizontal 300dpi
• A5 Port.spr… A5 Vertical 300dpi
• B5 Land.spr… B5 horizontal 300dpi
• B5 Port.spr… B5 Vertical 300dpi

File will be generated in the current folder.

Save the generated file to ArtRage's Custom Sizes as needed.
