The script is very simple, it places text on the page using data from a csv file. The problem is it gives me an error at the point in the script where I try to set the text style.
Here is the the code that it doesn't like:
Code: Select all
import inkex, simplestyle, simplepath
import csv
import os
import os.path
import sys
class csvtext(inkex.Effect):
def __init__(self):
inkex.Effect.__init__(self)
self.OptionParser.add_option("-f", "--fontsize",
action="store", type="string",
dest="fontsize", default="20",
help="Size of node label numbers")
self.OptionParser.add_option("-d", "--datafile",
action="store", type="string",
dest="datafile", default="C:\data.csv",
help="The csv file")
def effect(self):
csvfile = self.options.datafile
data = csv.reader(open(csvfile, "rb"))
# Read the column names from the first line of the file
#fields = data.next()
for row in data:
x = row[0]
y = row[1]
text = row[2]
new = inkex.etree.SubElement((parent,inkex.addNS('textPath','svg'))
s = {'font-size': self.options.fontsize, 'fill-opacity': '1.0', 'stroke': 'none',
'font-weight': 'normal', 'font-style': 'normal', 'fill': '#999'}
new.set('style', simplestyle.formatStyle(s))
new.set('x', str(x))
new.set('y', str(y))
new.text = str(text)
if __name__ == '__main__':
e = csvtext()
e.affect()When I try to run it I get this:
File "textfromcsv.py", line 49
new.set('style', simplestyle.formatStyle('font-size': self.options.fontsize, 'fill-opacity': '1.0', 'stroke': 'none','font-weight': 'normal', 'font-style': 'normal', 'fill': '#999'))
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
So it seems to have problem with the setting text style. I just can't see what's wrong with the syntax. There isn't a problem with the csv file i don't think.
It's probably something simple, can anyone help?
If anyone would like to try the extension, here is the inx file:
Code: Select all
<inkscape-extension>
<_name>Text From CSV</_name>
<id>org.ekips.filter.csvtext</id>
<dependency type="executable" location="extensions">textfromcsv.py</dependency>
<dependency type="executable" location="extensions">inkex.py</dependency>
<param name="fontsize" type="string" _gui-text="Font size">20</param>
<param name="datafile" type="string" _gui-text="Data file:">C:\data.csv</param>
<param name="extraVarInfo" type="description">The data file must be CSV with comma separated columns</param>
<param name="sep" type="description">Make sure: Column1=X Column2=Y Column3=Text </param>
