Re: [O] graphviz dot block export and evaluate
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!

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
