A very draft and illustrative script which:
- Throws up a file choosing dialog (for choosing a .json text)
- Creates a new OG6 Professional document, using the hierarchical template
- Makes a basic nested diagram
For example, opening a file containing:
{
"alpha": {
"delta": 1,
"epsilon": 2,
"zeta": 3
},
"beta": {
"delta": 1,
"epsilon": 2,
"zeta": 3
},
"gamma": {
"delta": 1,
"epsilon": 2,
"zeta": 3
}
}
Generates a diagram like:
(which could be restyled with a different template, reorganised with Automatic Layout, etc)
