### Test PcbDraw installation with --help

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/doc/installation.md

Verifies the installation by displaying the help menu. Run after installing PcbDraw.

```bash
.bash
pcbdraw --help
```

--------------------------------

### Populate Markdown and HTML examples

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/examples/readme.md

Populates Markdown and HTML source files into separate output directories. The two commands are alternatives for the same populate workflow.

```bash
pcbraw populate examples/populate/source_md.md markdown_demo
```

```bash
pcbdraw populate examples/populate/source_html.md html_demo
```

--------------------------------

### Install PcbDraw via pip (Linux/macOS)

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/doc/installation.md

Installs PcbDraw with pip or pip3 depending on distribution. Requires KiCad already installed.

```bash
pip install PcbDraw # Use pip or pip3 based on your distribution
```

--------------------------------

### Install librsvg on Debian/Ubuntu

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/doc/faq.md

Install librsvg2-bin to enable PNG conversion in PcbDraw. This is recommended as it is faster than Inkscape.

```bash
sudo apt install librsvg2-bin
```

--------------------------------

### Install upstream (unstable) PcbDraw from GitHub

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/doc/installation.md

Installs the latest development version directly from the repository on GitHub.

```bash
pip3 install git+https://github.com/yaqwsx/PcbDraw@master
```

--------------------------------

### Install PcbDraw on Windows via pip

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/doc/installation.md

Installs PcbDraw using pip in a command prompt (preferably the KiCad Command Prompt if kicad-cli is not in PATH).

```bash
pip install PcbDraw
```

--------------------------------

```bash
pcbdraw plot --filter "" examples/resources/ArduinoLearningKitStarter.kicad_pcb front.svg
```

--------------------------------

### Load board scene and query annotations

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/doc/annotations.md

```python
from pcbdraw import load_board_scene

scene = load_board_scene("controller.kicad_pcb")
connector = scene.components["J1"]
pin_one = scene.pads[("J1", "1")]
ground = list(scene.features_for_net("GND"))
```

--------------------------------

### Render back side with --back

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/examples/readme.md

Renders the back side of the board to back.svg.

```bash
pcbdraw plot --back examples/resources/ArduinoLearningKitStarter.kicad_pcb back.svg
```

--------------------------------

### Render board with pcbdraw plot

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/examples/readme.md

Renders the board to an SVG file named front.svg using the default style.

```bash
pcbdraw plot examples/resources/ArduinoLearningKitStarter.kicad_pcb front.svg
```

--------------------------------

### Render with --filter L_R1,L_Y1

Source: https://github.com/yaqwsx/pcbdraw/blob/master/examples/readme.md

```APIDOC
## load_board_scene(path)

### Description
Loads a board scene from a KiCad board file, exposing electrical and placement data without requiring KiCad's Python bindings. Returns a stable, Python-native scene in board millimetres.

### Method
