A command line utility that exports omnigraffle canvases files into various formats.
Project description
A command line tool that allows to export one or more canvases from OmniGraffle into various formats using OmniGraffle AppleScript interface.
Installation
In order to have it successfully installed and working, following is required:
OmniGraffle 5
python >= 2.6
appscript >= 0.22
You can either clone the repository and use the setup tool:
setup.py install
Or using the PIP:
pip install omnigraffle_export
Usage
Usage: omnigraffle-export [options] <source> <target> Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -c NAME canvas name. If not given it will be guessed from the target filename unless it is a directory. -f FMT format (one of: pdf, png, svg, eps). Guessed from the target filename suffix unless it is a directory. Defaults to pdf --force force the export --debug print out debug messages
If the target file exists it tries to determine whether the canvas has been changed. It does that by comparing the checkums. Since the PDF export always results into a different file, it uses the PDF subject attribute to store there a checksum that will be generated by exporting to a PNG format.
Examples
Export all canvases into directory figures using EPS
omnigraffle-export -f eps schemas.graffle figures
Export canvas named FullModel into a FullModel.svg SVG file:
omnigraffle-export schemas.graffle FullModel.svg
Export canvas name FullModel into a my_new_model.pdf PDF file:
omnigraffle-export -c FullModel -f pdf schemas.graffle my_new_model
or
omnigraffle-export -c FullModel schemas.graffle my_new_model.pdf
Note: that the ’.pdf’ suffix will be automatically added in the first case.
Export all canvases into directory figures using EPS
omnigraffle-export -f eps schemas.graffle figures
LaTeX Support Example
One of the main motivation for this package was to be able to quickly export OmniGraffle canvases and use them in LaTeX. One of the possible setup is following: every time a figure is included add some instruction so it can be later exported from OmniGraffle file. For example using a comment like:
% omnigraffle sources/schemas.graffle figures/CondorKernel.pdf
to export a canvas CondorKernel from sources/schemas.graffle into figures/CondorKernel.pdf as PDF.
\begin{figure} \center % omnigraflle: sources/schemas.graffle figures/CondorKernel.pdf \includegraphics[scale=.5]{images/CondorKernel} \end{figure}
An example preprocesor in Python using frabric will the be like:
from fabric.api import * import re # latex files to process fnames = ['UCGridRLDecisionModel.tex'] omnigraffle_re = re.compile(r'%\s*omnigraflle:\s*([^ ]+)\s+([^ ]+)') def _convert(source, target): local('omnigraffle-export %s %s' % (source, target)) @task def schemas(): ''' Generate all schemas ''' for fname in fnames: with open(fname) as f: for l in f: m = omnigraffle_re.match(l.strip()) if m: _convert(*m.groups())
Export on Demand
The omnigraffle-export can be used either in a batch mode or in a more interactive way. For example it can be used to export the currently selected canvas into a file.
Following is an example Python script that will export currently active canvas into a PDF file that has the same name as the canvas and is placed in the same directory as the OmniGraffle document:
#!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys import omnigraffle og = omnigraffle.OmniGraffle() schema = og.active_document() schema_path = schema.path schema_fname = os.path.basename(schema_path) schema_dir = os.path.dirname(schema_path) export_info_fname = os.path.join(schema_dir, '.' + schema_fname[0:schema_fname.rindex('.')] + '.omnigraffle_export') canvas_name = schema.active_canvas_name() format = 'pdf' target_path = os.path.join(schema_dir, canavs_name + '.' + format) schema.export(canvas_name, target_path, format=format)
