25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This software provides EMACS org-babel export support for message
28 ;; sequence charts. The mscgen utility is used for processing the
29 ;; sequence definition, and must therefore be installed in the system.
31 ;; Mscgen is available and documented at
32 ;; http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/index.html
34 ;; This code is directly inspired by Eric Schulte's ob-dot.el
36 ;; Example:
38 ;; #+begin_src mscgen :file example.png
39 ;; msc {
40 ;; A,B;
41 ;; A -> B [ label = "send message" ];
42 ;; A <- B [ label = "get answer" ];
43 ;; }
44 ;; #+end_src
46 ;; Header for alternative file type:
48 ;; #+begin_src mscgen :file ex2.svg :filetype svg
50 ;; This differs from most standard languages in that
52 ;; 1) there is no such thing as a "session" in mscgen
53 ;; 2) we are generally only going to return results of type "file"
54 ;; 3) we are adding the "file" and "filetype" header arguments
55 ;; 4) there are no variables
57 ;;; Code:
58 (require 'ob)
59 (require 'ob-eval)
61 (defvar org-babel-default-header-args:mscgen
62 '((:results . "file") (:exports . "results"))
63 "Default arguments to use when evaluating a mscgen source block.")
65 (defun org-babel-execute:mscgen (body params)
66 "Execute a block of Mscgen code with Babel.
67 This function is called by `org-babel-execute-src-block'.
68 Default filetype is png. Modify by setting :filetype parameter to
69 mscgen supported formats."
70 (let* ((out-file (or (cdr (assoc :file params)) "output.png" ))
71 (filetype (or (cdr (assoc :filetype params)) "png" )))
72 (unless (cdr (assoc :file params))
73 (error "
74 ERROR: no output file specified. Add \":file name.png\" to the src header"))
75 (org-babel-eval (concat "mscgen -T " filetype " -o " out-file) body)
76 out-file))
78 (defun org-babel-prep-session:mscgen (session params)
79 "Raise an error because Mscgen doesn't support sessions."
80 (error "Mscgen does not support sessions"))
