It looks like you have all of the ones I can think of. Being able to
control all of the settings that are available from the GUI is top of the
list. It can actually eliminate the need for the LPub config file as these
settings could (and probably should) be saved in the same syntax as the
script is written in.
Would it also be possible to access the names of the generated files?
There was a recent discussion on controlling the background color for sub
models. Knowing where a model is in the hierarchy could allow control over
the background color during image generation.
I might do something like this:
## Get the list of models in the MPD file
set models [ lpubModelNames ]
## Loop through the models, generating instruction images
## with a different color background depending on the level
## in the MPD hierarchy.
foreach model $models {
## Determine the level in the model hierarchy and
## set the background color accordingly.
set hierarchyLevel [ lpubGetHierarchyLevel $model ]
switch $hierarchyLevel {
case 1 {
set lpubBGColor "#A0A0A0"
}
case 2 {
set lpubBGColor "#0A0A0A"
}
case 3 {
setlpubBGColor "#FFAA00"
}
default {
setlpubBGColor "#000000"
}
}
## Generate instructions images
lpubGeneateInstructionImages $model
}
Hope this helps.
Mike
