Ipelib
|
The library libipelua implements Lua bindings for many classes in Ipelib. The bindings are available in Lua ipelets, as well as in Lua scripts executed using the ipescript program.
These pages document the Lua bindings to Ipelib:
When writing Ipelets in Lua, you have access to additional methods provided by the Ipe program itself:
Here is a Lua script that reads an Ipe document and then recenters each page on the paper. You can run this script as "ipescript recenter".
-- recenter.lua -- center objects on each page of the document if #argv ~= 2 then io.stderr:write("Usage: ipescript recenter <inputfile> <outputfile>\n") return end inname = argv[1] outname = argv[2] doc = assert(ipe.Document(inname)) -- make sure we have size information for text assert(doc:runLatex()) layout = doc:sheets():find("layout") fs = layout.framesize for i,p in doc:pages() do box = ipe.Rect() for j = 1,#p do box:add(p:bbox(j)) end nx = (fs.x - box:width()) / 2 ny = (fs.y - box:height()) / 2 trans = ipe.Vector(nx, ny) - box:bottomLeft() m = ipe.Translation(trans) for j = 1,#p do p:transform(j, m) end end doc:save(outname)
The following script prints out all the gradients defined in a document:
-- -*- lua -*- function printTable(t, indent) for k in pairs(t) do local v = t[k] if type(v) == "table" then print(indent .. k .. ":") printTable(v, " " .. indent) else print(indent .. k .. ": " .. tostring(v)) end end end if #argv ~= 1 then io.stderr:write("Usage: ipescript show-gradients <ipe-document>\n") return end local figname = argv[1] local doc = assert(ipe.Document(figname)) local s = doc:sheets() for _,w in ipairs(s:allNames("gradient")) do print("Gradient: ", w) local g = s:find("gradient", w) printTable(g, " ") end
And here is a script that shows how to add a gradient to a document (the same technique works for tilings and effects):
-- -*- lua -*- if #argv ~= 1 then io.stderr:write("Usage: ipescript add-gradient <ipe-document>\n") return end local figname = argv[1] local doc = assert(ipe.Document(figname)) local sheet = [[<ipestyle> <gradient name="ball" type="radial" coords="-4 10 2 0 0 18"> <stop offset="0" color="1 1 0"/> <stop offset="1" color="0 1 0"/> </gradient> </ipestyle>]] local ts = ipe.Sheet(nil, sheet) local s = doc:sheets() for i = 1,s:count() do print(s:sheet(i):name()) end -- add the gradient to the sheet on top of the stack -- in general it is not a good idea to change the "basic" sheet, -- better verify if a custom sheet for gradients exists already -- and create it if not. s:sheet(1):addFrom(ts, "gradient", "ball") assert(doc:runLatex()) doc:save(figname .. ".new.ipe")
For more examples, have a look at the scripts in your Ipe installation, such as add-style.lua or update-styles.lua.
