I am looking for a way for using the iTools for non-interactive (batch) proccesing. The idea is to use for example iPlot in batch mode to produce a plot, save it both as an image (e.g. jpeg)as well as in *.isv format. If needed a user can later costumize the plot by running iPlot in the interactive mode and openening the *.isv file. Another application is to use iPlot to create an iPlot in a specific layout and save it to *.isv file. Later the batch mode may be used to add or modify the data, redraw the plot and save it to an image file. For the batch mode it is needed that plots are written to a buffer instead of to a window. Also needed are ways to generate commands (replacing the user interaction with the menu etc.) in the batch mode. Has anyone tried this or ideas how to do this? Thanks in advance, Pepijn.
