'''
A python script example to create various plot files from a board:
Fab files
Doc files
Gerber files
Important note:
this python script does not plot frame references.
the reason is it is not yet possible from a python script because plotting
plot frame references needs loading the corresponding page layout file
(.wks file) or the default template.
This info (the page layout template) is not stored in the board, and therefore
not available.
Do not try to change SetPlotFrameRef(False) to SetPlotFrameRef(true)
the result is the pcbnew lib will crash if you try to plot
the unknown frame references template.
