public class RunExternalCommand
extends java.lang.Thread
A "tmp" file is generated on-the-fly in the "tmp" directory of the underlying platform, This tmp file contains an adequate preamble (e.g. usepackage{epic}) depending on current options, and LaTeX commands (or PsTricks or eepic commands) corresponding to each object found in the given picture.
These command lines may include the following special symbols :
- {f} : tmp file name w/o extension (the user need to specify explicitely any extension required by the external program)
- {p} : tmp file path including trailing separator
- {i} : jPicEdt add-ons dir, that is : "jpicedt.home/add-ons" (trailing separtor excluded)
Ex : kghostview {p}{f}.ps or {i}run_latex.bat {p}{f}
Since we don't want to resort on platform dependent tricks (working dirs, PATH variables, root directory names differing on UNIX and Win32 systems, latex command line which might also differ, aso...), the better thing the user could do is to write one batch/shell script per process he wants to launch, then provide the names of these scripts to PicEdt.
Scripts are easy to write on UNIX/Window platforms, and very likely on MacOS platforms by using AppleScript.
