Several commands (@command{guix graph}, @command{guix system dmd-graph}
|
||||
and @command{guix system extension-graph}) also have a ``View graph''
|
||||
action, which allows you to view a generated graph using @command{dot}
|
||||
command (specified by @code{guix-dot-program} variable). By default a
|
||||
PNG file will be saved in @file{/tmp} directory and will be opened
|
||||
directly in Emacs. This behavior may be changed with the following
|
||||
variables:
|
||||
|
||||
@table @code
|
||||
|
||||
@item guix-find-file-function
|
||||
Function used to open a generated graph. If you want to open a graph in
|
||||
an external program, you can do it by modifying this variable---for
|
||||
example, you can use a functionality provided by the Org Mode
|
||||
(@pxref{Top,,, org, The Org Manual}):
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
(setq guix-find-file-function 'org-open-file)
|
||||
(add-to-list 'org-file-apps '("\\.png\\'" . "sxiv %s"))
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
@item guix-dot-default-arguments
|
||||
Command line arguments to run @command{dot} command. If you change an
|
||||
output format (for example, into @code{-Tpdf}), you also need to change
|
||||
the next variable.
|
||||
|
||||
@item guix-dot-file-name-function
|
||||
Function used to define a name of the generated graph file. Default
|
||||
name is @file{/tmp/guix-emacs-graph-XXXXXX.png}.
|
||||
|
||||
@end table
|
||||
|
||||
So, for example, if you want to generate and open a PDF file in your
|
||||
Emacs, you may change the settings like this:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
(defun my-guix-pdf-graph ()
|
||||
"/tmp/my-current-guix-graph.pdf")
|
||||
|
||||
(setq guix-dot-default-arguments '("-Tpdf")
|
||||
guix-dot-file-name-function 'my-guix-pdf-graph)
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
@node Emacs Prettify
|
||||
@section Guix Prettify Mode
