This program generates a PDF file showing the changes between two KiCad PCB or SCH files.
PCBs are plotted into PDF files, one for each layer. Then ImageMagick is used to compare the layers and PNG files are generated. The PNGs are finally assembled into one PDF file and the default PDF reader is invoked.
All the intermediate files are generated in the system temporal directory and removed as soon as the job is finished. You can cache the layers PDFs specifying a cache directory and keep the resulting diff images specifying an output directory.
For SCHs the process is similar, but using KiAuto. Note that one schematic is compared at a time. The --all_pages option allows comparing multiple pages. In this case adding or removing pages is only supported when the rsvg-convert tool is available. Also note that this can't be done by the git plug-in because git extracts only the file you want to compare. Consult the advanced use explanation.
The default resolution for the images is 150 DPI. It can be increased for better images, at the cost of (exponetially) longer execution times. You can provide a smaller resolution for faster processing. For high resolution you could need to configure the ImageMagick limits. Consult the 'identify -list resource' command.
