[O] graphviz dot block export and evaluate
Hi all, Has anyone successfully exported and evaluated src blocks with graphviz dot code? I'm trying to export this block #+BEGIN_SRC dot :export both digraph G { A - B } #+END_SRC and I'm getting the error org-babel-exp processing... executing Dot code block... file-name-extension: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil How do you debug such problems? Regards, Dmitri

Regards, Dmitri Aloha Dmitri, Currently, you can debug such problems by looking at the source code of ob-dot.el. Or, by asking the list, as you did. Your example is lacking a :file header argument. dot source code blocks produce graphics files and babel leaves it to the user to name the output file. The file-name-extension function is looking for the value of the :file header argument, so that it can configure the call to dot. It is expecting to see a string, but gets nil because the header argument is absent. Also, the correct keyword is :exports, with a final s. You can find an example of dot code use here: http://www.jstatsoft.org/v46/i03 hth, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com

Hi Tom and Bastien, Thank you, your answers helped a lot. My fault that I used export not exports and that I didn't read the section Specific header arguments in the Org manual. Thanks!
