Aloha all,
I want to use one of the dot utilities, tred, in a way that preserves my
ability to distribute the Org-mode file as reproducible research, i.e.,
intermediate results should end up in the Org-mode file or be passed
along in a chain.
Right now I have a python routine that reads a couple of Org-mode tables
and outputs a valid dot graph. I'm saving this to a file, dot-temp.gv,
and then running some shell commands, like this:
#+begin_src sh
tred dot-temp.gv > test.gv
dot -o test.pdf -Tpdf test.gv
open test.pdf
#+end_src
The graph is just what I want, but I can't see how to automate the
process in Org-mode. In particular, the tred step trips me up. Do I
have to make babel, tred-aware?
Tom

Sorry if I misunderstand, but could you be more explicit (for me) on what the
problem is? Why is it a problem for you to have that sh block inside your
Org. It is executed automagically upon exporting, no? If yes, why is that not
good enough?
Best regards,
Seb

Aloha Seb,
Yes, babel is working fine and the sh block does its job.
The problem is that I like to see intermediate results in the Org-mode
file and the sh block works instead with files that reside outside Org-mode.
In this particular case, I'd prefer to have dot-temp.gv in a results
block in the Org-mode file, and then pass this results block into a
source code block where tred can manipulate it, and which returns its
results to the Org-mode file.
That way, the skeptical inquirer need only consult the Org-mode file to
be convinced that tred removed the transitive relations from the
digraph. It would be an easy matter to compare the two results blocks.
All the best,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Maybe rather than saving the output of your python block to an external
file you could save it into the Org-mode file, into a results block
named e.g., "dot-temp", and then you could do the following in your sh
code block...
#+begin_src sh :var body=dot-temp
echo $dot-temp > dot-temp.gv
tred dot-temp.gv > test.gv
dot -o test.pdf -Tpdf test.gv
rm dot-temp.gv
open test.pdf
#+end_src
Hope this helps -- Eric

Aloha Eric,
With a few modifications I got exactly what I wanted. Thanks!
This takes a valid dot digraph in a results block, runs it through tred
so transitive relations are removed, creates a pdf file, and then writes
the dot source produced by tred back to the Org-mode file.
#+begin_src sh :var body=dot-digraph :results output raw
echo $body > dot-temp.gv
tred dot-temp.gv > dot-temp-tred.gv
dot -o test.pdf -Tpdf dot-temp-tred.gv
cat dot-temp-tred.gv
rm dot-temp-tred.gv
#+end_src
All the best,
Tom
