The native kicad-cli now offers a way to render board images from the CLI . Since some users (including me) had some dependency issues with PcbDraw, this PR adds the option to use kicad-cli for board images by adding a
--renderer
switch tokikit present
.Kicad-cli is not perfect unfortunately, as there is no way currently to output appropriately sized images directly. As a workaround, this uses image magick to crop the images generated by KiCad.
Let me know if you're willing to upstream this and if there are any changes to make.
