Figure Manager

Installation

For NixOS systems

nix profile install github:3fxcf9/figure_manager

or declare this repository as a flake input with

inputs.figure_manager = {
  url = "github:3fxcf9/figure_manager";
};

and install it in your configuration, for example in home-manager with

{
  pkgs,
  inputs,
  ...
}: {
  home.packages = [
    inputs.figure_manager.packages.${pkgs.system}.figure_manager
  ];
}

For other GNU/Linux systems

After installing the dependencies (inkscape, tofi, scour, and inotify-tools providing inotifywait), you can build this project by running

v -prod .

Then, place the generated binary (figure_manager) somewhere in your $PATH.

Configuration

1. Put your template.svg file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/course-manager/figures.

2. Create a file named include_code in the same directory ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/course-manager/figures) containing the code used to include a figure in a document. For example, with my custom note syntax, it would look like this:

   %fig <FIGURE_NAME>
       @[<FIGURE_PATH>]
   %

Usage

This script is designed to be used with (neo)vim. Here are some suggested key mappings:

• To create a new figure (<C-f> in insert mode, after typing the figure name)

  inoremap <C-f> <Esc>:silent exec '.!figure_manager create "'.expand('%:h').'/figures/" "'.getline('.').'"'<CR><CR>:w<CR>

• To choose and edit a specific figure (<C-f> in normal mode)

  nnoremap <C-f> :silent exec '!figure_manager edit "'.expand('%:h').'/figures/" > /dev/null 2>&1 &'<CR><CR>:redraw!<CR>
