WHAT IS MAPAGI?

Mapagi is a pagination utility that prints your images/comics in 'in folio' format.

To produce a book printed in folio format, the sheet of paper is folded once, producing 2 leaves. Each leaf has 2 sides, the recto (front) and the verso (back).

Page size format is "Tankobon", probably well known to manga fans.

BUILDING FROM SOURCE

HOW TO USE IT

Each image (format JPEG or PNG) is a logical page.
