omniJS – Experimenting with Graphics ⇄ JSON ⇄ Styles

Automation OmniGraffle Automation
#1

Experimenting here with a JSON representation of OmniGraffle objects – here is a Keyboard Maestro palette of JXA macros which evaluate functions in the omniJS context, and use a draft jsonTools omniJS plugin for omniGraffle:

A hello world example – the rectangle on the left was copied as JSON (using omniJS), and then pasted back from the JSON representation as the copy on the right (JSON shown below):

A complete omniJS JSON transcription of the shape currently looks like this:

(the version above is shorter because we only need the non-default writable values to recreate a shape, line, or group)
