Hi,
is it possible to generate an EMF or other file type for a .gno file from command line?
Ie something like
CMD> GenoPro.exe C:\Document1.gno -EXPORT -EMF C:\Document1.emf
I need to be able to output the genogram as an EMF or JPG or PDF or PNG without having to run the program by a user.
If there is no command line is there maybe a java sdk option or vb script option?
Thanks

There is no existing solution that I am aware of at present however it can be done quite simply using GenoPro's COM interface and VBScript or JScript.
See http://support.genopro.com/Topic21336-63-1.aspx and/or search for SavePictureOfGenoMap
Propably easier to first unzip your .gno and use the plain XML file (data.xml) it contains. Alternatively save as XML from GenoPro. I can cobble something together if required.

Hi,
I downloaded the java files and there is no method SavePictureOfGenoMap defined in the java classes.are you able to help out? also running the included .exe file hangs...
alternatively if you could just provide me with an exe that would take a geno document and output path as a command line parameter and then output emf to the specified directory that would work for me too!

You need to search SavePictureOfGenoMap using the Search facility of this forum

Sorry Appleshaw, Kane81 is correct. I think the Genopro.class file was generated before the SavePictureOfGenoMap interface was added to GenoPro.
I think JActiveX.exe is required to regenerate it, which was part of MS J++ however Microsoft appear to have abandoned Java and Sun/Oracle don't want to know about MS Com/ActiveX interfaces.
I'll have a shot at writing something using JScript (i.e. MS Javascript)

Attached is a JScript (i.e. MS javascript) file that takes a name of a GenoPro XML file as its only argument and creates EMF images of each of the GenoMaps within it.
The SavePictureOfGenoMap.js script is a s follows: /* Create EMF images of each GenoMap in a GenoPro XML file given in a command line argument EMFs are named GenoMap<n>.emf, <n> is index number of map and are created in the current folder Usage: SavePictureOfGenoMap.js data.xml */ var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"), genopro = new ActiveXObject("GenoPro.Document"); var file = fso.OpenTextFile(WScript.Arguments(0), 1); genopro.SetTextXml(file.readall()); file.Close(); var index = 0; while (true) { try { genopro.SavePictureOfGenoMap(index, 'GenoMap' + index + '.emf'); if (!fso.FileExists('GenoMap' + index + '.emf')) break; WScript.Echo('Created GenoMap' + index + '.emf'); index++; } catch(e) { break; } } WScript.Echo("Finished: Created "+index+" EMF files");

To use a .gno as input you could use 7-Zip's 7z.exe command line to extract Data.xml from the .gno.
A suitable batch (.bat) file to do this with the required .gno as its paramaeter would contain:
"%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z.exe" e -y "%1" del GenoMap*.emf cscript SavePictureOfGenoMap.js Data.xml
|
The above scripts are simplistic and assume everything resides in the same folder.
I don't have Java in my toolbag but if you want to go down that route perhaps the SourceForge Jacob project could help interfacing the GenoPro COM objects with Java

Thanks,
Tested and it works great - however is there anyway I can also convert the old .gno files to emf files? the old .gno files are not zipped and I tried renaming to .xml but that didnt work either :/

Also is it possible to get the tab name that you are saving out to a file too?
ie: something like var tabName = genopro.GetTabName(index);

If you rename a current .gno file as .zip and extract it, it is the same as an xml file.
You can of course save as xml
