Re: [MacRuby-devel] MacRuby-devel Digest, Vol 45, Issue 20
I am trying to automate OmniGraffle using MacRuby, and cannot figure out how to map Applescript to available MacRuby methods. For example, to add a shape takes roughly this Applescript: tell application "OmniGraffle Professional" tell canvas of front window make new shape at end of graphics with properties {size: {10,80}, origin: {9,9}} end tell end tell I can get a handle on the OmniGraffle application, on its document, canvas, etc. Can get a list of methods as below. But cannot find anything corresponding to the above "make new shape". Is there any way to browse a MacRuby view of the scripting dictionary? Thanks for any pointers!

I extracted an old demo I had made for RubyConf which shows how to use the voice recognizer feature of OS X to implement an app which could be the Siri equivalent for OS X: https://github.com/mattetti/MacRuby-Siri
The code is straight forward, the app runs in the top menu. Don't forget to turn on the voice recognition feature before testing the app.

You will need to create a shape object and then add it to the correct container. something like: shape = OmniGraffleShape.alloc.init canvas.shapes.addObject shape The different shape classes can be views by generating the OmniGraffle scriptingbridge header with: sdef /Path/To/OmniGraffle.app | sdp -fh -o /header/save/path -A --basename OmniGraffle You may also want to generate the .bridgesupport file gen_bridge_metadata -c '-I/Path/To/OmniGraffle.h' -o /path/to/save/OmniGraffle.bridgesupport And include that bridgsupport file in your script with load_bridge_support_file '/path/to/OmniGraffle.bridgesupport' Matt has a great article on using ScriptingBridge with MacRuby: http://merbist.com/2010/01/17/controlling-itunes-with-macruby/ hth kam On Nov 14, 2011, at 3:06 PM, Sophie wrote:

Kam is right, here is a quick preview using the parser I mentioned in a previous post and the header file I generated using the following command: $ sdef /Applications/OmniGraffle\ Professional\ 5.app/ | sdp -fh --basename omni You will find the generated documentation, the parser code and the header file there: https://gist.github.com/1365637 I hope it helps. - Matt On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 8:19 PM, Kam Dahlin <haxie1@me.com> wrote:

You may also want to generate the .bridgesupport file gen_bridge_metadata -c '-I/Path/To/OmniGraffle.h' -o /path/to/save/OmniGraffle.bridgesupport
And include that bridgsupport file in your script with load_bridge_support_file '/path/to/OmniGraffle.bridgesupport'

Here are some hints which may be useful... -r Many apps are not intrinsically cooperative with AppleScript (eg, they don't publish their dictionaries). Fortunately, there's a way to talk to them regardless: Start "(Apple) > System Preferences". Click on "Universal Access". Click on "Enable access for assistive devices". I _strongly_ recommend spending US$55 on UI Browser, a really handy tool for inspecting an app's scripting capabilities: http://pfiddlesoft.com/uibrowser/ I've never tried Scripting Bridge, because the Googling I did led me to use rb-appscript instead. It has worked quite well for me, by and large (though I haven't tried it with MacRuby): http://appscript.sourceforge.net/ http://appscript.sourceforge.net/rb-appscript/index.html http://www.apeth.com/rbappscript/00intro.html#XXXtoc Finally, if you get totally stuck on AppleScript (and you're on a funded project :-), consider bringing in an expert, eg: Ben Waldie http://www.automatedworkflows.com/ -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Software system design, development, and documentation
