  --grid GRID GRID  Adds a grid to the resulting spreadsheet. Numbers
                    represent the number of pixels between vertical and
                    horizontal grid lines, respectively. 0 (zero) means no
                    grid on this axis.

Example

python3 img2xls.py libre image.png

image.png.libre.xls will be created.

If you want a grid in the resulting spreadsheet, you can pass the --grid option, as follows:

python3 img2xls.py libre --grid vertical_gap_in_px horizontal_gap_in_px image.png

Both values have to be specified. If you don't want grid lines on an axis just set this value to 0. Negative values are ignored.
