About project (README Rus)

This repo contains real example of building chart for scientific article using Measurelook file with Inkscape and R.

How it works:

1. Data is readed and prepared.
2. Prepared data is passed it templater input (Mustache) and templater output returns R program to build SVG chart.
3. R executes program. You recieve SVG files.
4. Generated pic-preview.html with SVGs links to quick preview in browser.
5. (optional) SVG processes in PNG and PDF with Inkscape

Note: This repo contains Implementation-1 of image builder. I have a revised Implementation-2 which is more reusable but it is not published yet.

Intall and run

0. Download repo
1. npm i
2. Fix config\config.json - change path to R (required) and Inkscape (only if you need convert svg->png and svg->pdf)
3. node app.js
