    Hello,
    it seems to me that I can combine pcb images on same page, only orizzontally. Is there a way to combine them vertically?
    Best regards,
    Bortolo

      Good day,

      It's actually neither - they are on top of each other (mirroring the bottom
      layer makes it look like they're next to each other, because all the
      positive coordinates become negative).

      I was wondering if I should implement an "offset" feature, but decided
      against it because it's easier to do in post-processing (by means of LaTeX).

      I can add it to your version if you'd like? Then you'd have an -offset=x,y
      option to move them around.

      It will be a bit tedious to use though, because the offset you specify will
      have to change every time you change the board size...

      The way my program works doesn't allow a simple "place above", or "space"
      parameter, because there is no way for it to know the final usage area (the
      page is built and resized on the fly based on the current layer busy
      rendering).

      Regards,
      John-Philip

    By the way - the LaTeX source, batch script and result of an example that puts two views above each other is attached...

      Always a pleasure :-)

      And besides: it's my hobby.
