write_layers.py

The Python file of the “One drawing, and each reader sees their own” example. The same floor plan on six layers shown and hidden one at a time: the furniture and the distances shown, the internal notes hidden until asked for, and a draft watermark meant for the screen and not for the paper.

Python 393 lines

What this example is for

The same floor plan has to reach three people: the site, with its dimensions; the client, without the internal notes; the printer, without the draft watermark across it. Making three files means three files to keep in step, and the day one of them is remade and the others are not, somebody builds from the wrong drawing.

"""Draws one plan on six layers a reader can show and hide.

The Python twin of the `write_layers` example in Rust. The walls are the page's own ink
and are always there. Everything else belongs to a layer: the furniture and the
dimensions start shown, the notes start hidden, and the draft mark is looked at but
never printed. The file also says what three of the layers are: the draft mark is a
watermark, a grid laid over the plan says it is an aid for whoever drew it and asks to
start hidden, and the crop marks at the corners of the sheet are printer's marks. The
furniture layer names the program it came from, Plan Studio, and says it holds a
technical design. The chairs are one drawing placed six times, and the drawing itself belongs to the furniture
layer, so hiding that layer hides every chair. Open the file and reading software's
layers panel lists all six; print it and the draft mark is gone without anyone touching
that panel.

The page is held in `Words`, once per language, and `HQF_PDF_LANG` picks which set is
drawn. A layer's name is language too: reading software's panel shows it, and the legend
under the plan names the same field, so the panel and the page can never disagree.
