python_vdx 0.1

Package for work with MS Visio VDX files

1. Install

pip install python_vdx

2. Workspace creation

from vdx.diagramm import Diagramm
from vdx.shapes import Point

dia = Diagramm(top=Point(1, 11))

Note: Point (1, 11) is default point. It points to the upper left corner of visio page. Also, you should remember that all objects craeted on the diagramm placed in accordance with the point. So, Shape(startPoint=Point(2, 0)) will be places at Point(3, 11).

3. Adding element on the diagramm

...
from vdx.shapes import EPCFunction  # EPCFunction is function object in ECP diagramm


## Add several "EPCFunction" objects with the same coordinates
dia.append_shape(EPCFunction())
dia.append_shape(EPCFunction())
dia.append_shape(EPCFunction())
dia.append_shape(EPCFunction())

4. Save the diagramm to a file.

....

dia.save('some_path_to_save.vdx')
