I have been trying to get python script to past images and text into a page in
order to automate some of the set up and page layout
I am just learning python and wrote the following .py script from my gleaning
of
the documentation but get an error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 8, in <module>
File "/home/user/Scribus/scripts/setpage.py", line 61, in <module>
scribus.loadImage(path+selectfile)
NoValidObjectError: Cannot use empty string for object name when there is no
selection.
(( I have tried to hard code the imagename but get another error message:))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 8, in <module>
File "/home/user/Scribus/scripts/setpage.py", line 63, in <module>
scribus.loadimage('EK_medium.png')
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'loadimage'
I would really appreciate help please.
Does anyone have a .py script for putting images and text into an a4 page, I
will input box coordinates where necessary.
Thanks in anticipation
Roger
------=====------
page script in part as follows:
import sys, os, string, scribus # need to do directory and string
manipulation
also
path = '/home/user/Pictures/ECK_Symbols/'
os.chdir(path)
selectfile = scribus.fileDialog("Select Your Image File/s", "*.*")
#file = open(selectfile, 'r') # Same errors if open or not..
if
scribus.newDocument(scribus.PAPER_A4,(15,15,15,12),scribus.LANDSCAPE,1,scribus.UNIT_POINTS,scribus.PAGE_1,0,1):
# scribus.createText(in1, in2, in3, in4) #in1 to 4 set the box
coordinates,
12,15,12,12
# from api documentation = createImage(x, y, width, height, ["name"]) ->
string
scribus.createImage(12, 12, 20, 20, 'eKbox') # -> string (Dont know
what
this part means, no explanation in the doc file.)
# scribus.gotoPage(1) # doesnt seem to matter in this case.
scribus.loadImage(path+selectfile) # Tried this and got the
first error
scribus.loadimage('EK_medium.png') # This gave the 2nd error
