Re: Launch Dia Script from command line (no GUI)

[Carlo Calderoni <calderoni carlo gmail com>]

Take a look at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dia-list/2010-June/msg00017.html if you can find something usefull about executing python in dia with no gui.

If you are planning no gui scripts for export, the solution brought by Steffen is the best way IMHO.

How do you want to manipulate the Dia objects?

Conversion of an existing a.dia file on the command line into DXF:

dia -e a.dxf a.dia

Into PDF:

dia -e a.pdf a.dia

Regards,
