FitPlot

The goal of FitPlot is simple:

• place various PDFs (or other common graphic formats files such as JPG, TIF, GIF, EPS, PSD, image in the pasteboard) on a virtual plotter sheet;
• Arrange all objects in a WYSIWYG environment moving and rotating them;
• Print the so arranged plotter sheet and eventually save it for later printings.

I know this can be done with blazoned vectorial applications, but here we have a small program that can just do it--nothing less, nothing more.

If your needs are very simple, and only need to import single-page files for layout, you may want to try FitPlot Lite.

Items List Panel

• It's possible to reorder the images on the document stack by file name alphabetic order (click on the header of the "file name" column). This is useful while printing contact sheets with image file name tag.
• Undo reorder (to get back to the previous state after a reordering, see point above).
• Select elements on the drawing moving the selection on the table with the arrow keys up and down.

  Snap to page center

• Moving an image (with click and drag), you should snap image to the appearing horizontal or vertical guides passing from the page center.

Contact sheet

• Added the option "file name tag" in the contact sheet dialog. The same setting (in the dialog), will be used in all the contact sheet quick menus.
• Improved the undo while doing contact sheets.

  Printer's margins

• After a print, whenever current document margins differ from just used printer margins, a dialog will propose you to update the document's margin to the new ones.

Bug fixing

• Copy and paste of attributes, now works as established in the default settings.
• Auto packing when sending prints to FitPlot, now works as established in the default settings.
• Multipage packing with floor / ceiling algorithm. Fixed possible crash when trying to pack an image in a small area and the resize image is set to OFF.
• Progress indicators for long operations has returned!

  FitPlot Manual PDF

• A FitPlot manual (in printable PDF) is available for download on the official site.The manual includes a clickable index with all the characteristics and specific chapters on any FitPlot feature, where each command is deeply explained with illustrations and screenshots.At the end you'll find a rich appendix with references to the program main window, the info / edit panel and all the commands available in the program toolbar.
