Scripter
A new script engine is currently being integrated into Scribus. The next steps will be:
- get the script engine to work (should already be ok)
- get the editor to work (i'm stucked there)
- revise the structure of the API
- add new functions to the API
- Scripter Architecture
- Scripter API
- Objects: Images
- Databases
- Alessandro Rimoldi's blog series on scripter functions - a_l_e's blog
Script snippets
This section contains snippets you can use to create your own scripts.
It will feature:
- reading a file
- updating a status bar
- selecting a frame
- pausing the screen update
Beginners Scripts
| Link to Script | Scripter commands demonstrated |
|---|---|
| newDocument, createRect, setCornerRadius, setLineWidth, setFillColor, setLineColor, saveDocAs | |
| newDocument, createLine, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillShade, createRect, saveDocAs | |
| newDocument, createEllipse, setLineWidth, setFillColor, setFillShade, saveDocAs, currentPage, setHGuides, messageBox, statusMessage, progressReset | |
| haveDoc, createLayer, getActiveLayer, setActiveLayer, createText, setUnit, setText, setTextColor, setFontSize, rotateObject | |
| haveDoc, valueDialog, getUnit, setUnit, getPageSize, getPageMargins, | |
| defineColor, createEllipse, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillColor, createLine, getPageSize, createRect | |
| valueDialog, getColor, getLayers, createLayer, setActiveLayer, setHGuides, setVGuides, getHGuides, getVGuides, createText, setTextColor, insertText, setFontSize, setLineSpacing, defineColor, createRect, groupObjects, createLine, setLineColor, setLineWidth, createEllipse, haveDoc, messageBox | |
| haveDoc, getUnit, setUnit, getPageSize, getPageMargins, setMargins, messageBox, statusMessage, progressReset | |
| haveDoc, setUnit, valueDialog, createLine, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillColor | |
| haveDoc, createLine, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillColor, createText, setFont, setFontSize, setTextAlignment, valueDialog, messageBox, docChanged | |
| newDoc, createLine, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillColor, createLayer, setActiveLayer, createText, setFont, setFontSize, setTextAlignment, selectText, setTextDistances, valueDialog, messageBox | |
| haveDoc, valueDialog, createLine, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillColor, createText, setTextColor, setText, setTextAlignment, setFont, setFontSize, rotateObject | |
| haveDoc, valueDialog, setUnit, createLine, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillColor, createText, setTextColor, setText, setTextAlignment, setFont, setFontSize | |
| fileDialog, haveDoc, setUnit, valueDialog, createLine, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillColor, createPolyLine | |
| valueDialog, messageBox, haveDoc, importSVG – much of the script involves mathematical calculations | |
| getPageSize, fileDialog, createImage, setScaleImageToFrame, setFillColor, setLineColor, getImageScale, sizeObject, haveDoc, messageBox This is an old script (Scribus 1.3.3.3), so be sure to check the precise names of commands. If you find errors, let us know or edit the wiki page to correct. | |
| messageBox, createLine, setLineColor, haveDoc, statusMessage, progressReset There is a minor usage of Scribus commands here, but it does show how to set up a Tkinter dialog for multiple variable entry. | |
| newDoc, newPage, createText, setText, setTextAlignment, setFont, setFontSize This is almost a script fragment even though it could work on its own. What it shows is the basic operation to import information from a simple structured text file and incorporate into a document. Could be adapted for mail merge, for example. | |
| haveDoc, selectionCount, getSelectedObject, setScaleImageToFrame, getImageScale, scaleImage, docChanged | |
| not sure if this script works | |
| haveDoc, selectionCount, getSelectedObject, setProperty, moveObject, docChanged | |
| replaceColor, docChanged This is a "script-let" really, but quickly shows how to change or delete colors in a document. No checking for errors. | |
| haveDoc, fileDialog, messageBox, pageCount, getPageItems, gotoPage, getAllText, getImageFile | |
| valueDialog, messageBox This is a utility that just happens to run in Scribus, using the valueDialog and messageBox to do what the title says. | |
| getPageSize, getPageMargins, createText, setFontSize, setTextAlignment, insertText, getColorNames, statusMessage, progressTotal, getColor, progressSet, haveDoc, openDoc, fileDialog, messageBox, getColorsFromDocument, newDocument, setUnit, deleteColor, defineColor, valueDialog, newPage, createRect, setFillColor, setLineColor | |
| messageBox, valueDialog | |
|
