python CLI tool that automates planning fields in the mobile game Ingress made by Niantic

in it's current state, the script relies on the use of the browser add-on IITC and it's "Draw tools" plug-in aswell as the "Bookmarks for maps and portals" plug-in. (setup instuctions)

once setup, you will need to add any and all portals you wish to make fields with to bookmarks and copy/paste the data to a .json file under the "portals" directory. (This can be done in the right hand side menu -> Bookmarks Opt -> Copy bookmarks)
