[Feature Request] CLI support for export view as image

[jack-burridge-cfh]

It would be really useful to be able to export views from a model via the CLI, views from the model could then be used by other tools. I'm unsure if this is best as an external plugin or within the main application.

I'm assuming there would also have to be a way to access the ID of the view as the name would not be unique enough

Hi,

There's already two ways to do it through ACLI:

• Export you model as HTML which will generate HTML, CSS, JS... and images
• Run a jArchi script that will export all views according to your naming convention

@jbsarrodie I was more meaning for singular diagrams rather than the whole gamut The intention was to use it with something like sphinx, and refer to individual diagrams

A jArchi script executed from the ACLI would work.

Correct, and this is not exposed except in jArchi.

That's still possible through jArchi as you can access command line parameters and thus you can pass the id or "internal path" to the view you want to export, and the filename of the image to be created.
