This change request provides three additional arguments to
create_map_poster.py:--offset-orientation/-Oarguments to provide a rotation from north (positive is towards the east) in decimal degrees.--show-north/--hide-northoptions which are complementary. When orientation is not changed (the default is zero), the default for this option is--hide-north, but still you can use--show-northto force the appearance of the orientation badge. Conversely, if there is a non-zero argument to--offset-orientation/-O, the default is for--show-north, but can be hidden with--hide-north.compass.svgfile, based on a wikimedia commons file. The comments acknowledge the origin as per its CC-BY-SA license.Please note that, in order not to introduce new dependencies, the SVG file is imported as a matplotlib Poligon, and uses the existing textures.
