161 | """Writes a page of Aztec codes, drawn as squares.
The Python twin of the `write_aztec` example in Rust: the same page, through
the binding rather than through the library directly.
Whether an Aztec code works is not a question the page can answer, and not one
a human eye can: it is answered by a scanner. So the page carries what each
code says under it, and `scripts/check_aztec.sh` points a decoder at the
rendered image and compares.
An Aztec code needs no quiet zone: a scanner finds the bullseye at its centre
without one. The codes are still set apart from each other, so that one code's
modules are not read as another's.
The head of the sheet says what the squares are for, so that the page is worth
something to whoever opens it without the code beside it. Those words are held in
`Words`, once per language, and `HQF_PDF_LANG` picks which set the sheet is headed in.
What the codes carry stands apart from them: a scanner reads it, not a person, and it is
the same in every language.
Usage: python examples/write_aztec.py [out.pdf] [font.ttf]
