    The Krita file to render.

The `calligrastage` command is a utility that allows you to render Krita canvases using Calligra Stage. This is particularly useful for creating presentations or slideshows from Krita images or animations. Calligrastage provides a framework for arranging and presenting multiple images, videos and animations within a single file.
The command acts as a bridge between Krita (for image creation) and Calligra Stage (for presentation). `calligrastage` accepts Krita files as input and uses the Calligra Stage engine to display and manage these as presentation slides. Think of it as a way to quickly generate a basic slide show from your Krita artwork.
It is intended as a simple tool to streamline workflows where Krita is used for visual content creation and Calligra Stage for presentation purposes. Thus, it avoids redundant import and conversion steps. Note that complex Krita features may not be fully supported in Calligra Stage and the render output will be a simplified view of the original Krita document.

• Complex Krita features or layers might not render exactly as intended in Calligra Stage.
• Error messages from the command line can sometimes be cryptic.
• Requires both Krita and Calligra Stage to be installed.

To render a Krita file named `my_art.kra` using Calligra Stage, you would run:
`calligrastage my_art.kra`
This will open `my_art.kra` in Calligra Stage, where you can arrange and present it.

The `calligrastage` command's history is tied to the development of both Krita and Calligra Stage within the KDE ecosystem. It was designed to improve the integration between these two applications, allowing for a smoother workflow for users creating visual content with Krita and presenting it using Calligra Stage. The command was added to Calligra project to enhance the presentation creation capabilities using the excellent tool Krita.
