All resulting pages in the PDF will be sized to your canvas size (assuming you followed step 1 above). Note: do NOT print to PDF, but instead go to File > Export and chose PDF document. If you plan to print and want the printer to ignore the page size set in Page Setup, export to a PDF document first.Pick or create a humungous paper size in Page Setup, just to be safe. Make sure that the paper size that you choose in Page Setup is larger than the canvas size you pick.So if you are manually setting the canvas size this script does, and you only want one page per canvas, you'll want to do two things: However, if you check the "Print canvas on one printer sheet" checkbox in the Canvas > Size inspector, then these variables consider a multi-page canvas a single page. You can have multiple pages on a canvas, and you will if you set the canvas size larger than the paper size from Page SetupĪlso, the variables (page number) and report their values based on number of pages in the document, not the number canvases. canvas size:Ĭhanging your canvas size does not change your page size, which is defined in Page Setup as the paper size you print to. Here's another useful AppleScript script for changing all canvases in your document to a given size.įirst, some important notes about page size vs.

Update (): a new version of this script that prompts for the new canvas size (rather than changing the variable in the script) appears after the jump. No trigonometry needed for calculating x,y postions on the arc. This makes creating a pie chart a piece of cake, as you just take the percentage of the chart that a piece of data would occupy, multiply it by 360, and that is the span of the arc. (Adjustable Arc has the same properties.) If Adjustable Wedge were a clock, 0 would be 12 o'clock, 90 would be 3 o'clock, 270 would be 9 o'clock, and so on. Here I'll be focusing on the Adjustable Wedge, which is not in the Tools toolbar, but you can find it in the Common stencil under "Shapes."Īdjustable Wedge turns out to be very easy to manipulate, as it has the properties startAngle and endAngle for adjusting the outer arc, each of which goes from 0 to 360. (See Shapes in OmniGraffle's AppleScript Dictionary.)
These blessed shapes are Adjustable Wedge, Adjustable Arc, Adjustable Star, Adjustable Arrow, and Adjustable Double Arrow. Some of these have special AppleScript access.

Tell application “OmniGraffle Professional 5” Here’s the AS to turn on all the Notes layers and page backgrounds, for example: We don’t even have to export this page to make it work. Now, clicking ‘Check syntax’ and ‘Run script’ executes that AppleScript. On these buttons, we use the ‘Runs a script’ option and paste in some AppleScript: We make another canvas (or page) and put some buttons on it. Layers within an Omnigraffle canvasĪll the layers in our Omnigraffle canvas. A ‘Notes’ layer specific to the canvas, and a shared ‘METADATA’ layer displaying page name, number, revision, and other information. Turning them off on each page can be a real drag, and no one gets a good feel for app flow with them cluttering the view. Now what? Preparing the prototype Now the problem is what to do with all the annotations, text commentary, and page backgrounds that are included with a traditional wireframes, but are visual noise in your prototype. On every page that has that shared layer, you’ve made persistent navigation. You can tell Omnigraffle to navigate to another canvas, zoom, highlight or center on the current canvas.
