After officially shutting down print production of its famous biochemical pathways posters, Roche made the posters available via a nifty online interface. Unfortunately, this has left people who want a paper copy without a good option. This script will download and assemble the Metabolic Pathways poster from the tiles hosted on their server to give you a large, printable PNG file.

- medium-quality PNG (6829 x 4795 px) on dropbox

You will need Python > 3.5.2 and ImageMagick. I ran this script on OSX, and do not know if it works on Windows.
Additionally, make sure you have all the requirements in requirements.txt by running pip install -r requirements.txt.
python extract_matabol.py will dump all the raw tiles in images/, assembled layers in assembled/, and final images in the root directory.
Specify the zoom level by changing zoomLevel within extract_metabol.py.
