This is a set of Archi scripts for generating simple humane images from Archimate diagrams:

• Design with the Archimate modelling language notation
• Share diagrams containing just lines and rectangles (no special figures)

*This is not meant to export Archimate free-drawing views (Canvas or Sketch diagrams).*

• Archi 4.9.x or later
• The latest version of jArchi compatible with Archi 4.9.x or later
• The GraalVM JavaScript engine selected in Archi preferences (Scripting > JavaScript Engine)
  • This is not required for recent versions of Archi, as GraalVM is now the default JavaScript engine
  • Please note that supporting Java code is loaded by Archi scripts

Please clone this repository under your jArchi scripts folder (Preferences >Scriting > Scripts folder:): if you still don’t understand the procedure, please visit the jArchi wiki or forum.

You can then right-click on any diagram in Archi and explore available scripts (Scripts > humaneimage).

There’s just a little bit of custom drawing happening with few hooks into Java, instead of “pure JavaScript”.

This generates PowerPoint shapes and the deck can be changed easily by non-technical users (accordingly to the audience and message to convey).

The main library is under lib/humaneimage.lib.js and the scripts under the humageimage folder are just interfaces to it.

The best way to contribute is via a pull request.

I did not write the whole functionality from scratch:

• edraw2d.lib.jar is a utility class with a subset of Eclipse draw2d classes (no SWT dependencies)
• svgtopng.lib.jar is a utility class with bundled Apache Batik dependencies
• archi2ppt.lib.jar is a utility class leveraging Apache POI to generate PowerPoint files
