Installation

git clone https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.dragtop
mvn clean install -D createAssembly=true

or use the rebuild script which skips Tests and gpg signature

dragtop script

This is a convenience script to start your dragtop. You might want to adapt the base directory setting to your environment

#!/bin/bash
# WF 2019-02-17
#
# start dragtop
#
# uncomment to debug
# set -x

base=$HOME/source/java
case $(uname -a) in
  Darwin*)
    base=$HOME/Documents/workspace
  ;;
esac

pdir=$base/com.bitplan.dragtop
if [ ! -d $pdir ]
then
  echo "dragtop project missing - will get it"
  cd $base
	git clone https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.dragtop
fi

cd $pdir
git pull
jar=$pdir/release/com.bitplan.dragtop.jar
if [ ! -f $jar ]
then
  echo "dragtop jar missing - will create"
  mvn install
fi
java -jar $jar $*

Using the dragtop

Powerpoint extraction example

You you need one ore more Powerpoint files in pptx format e.g. http://people.apache.org/~sctemme/ApconEU2008/Performance_Out.pptx

First start the dragtop.

Then drag & drop your powerpoint files.

Then drag & drop a "tool" which can be a jar that follows the dragtop plugin guidelines or simply a fitting rythm template. Dowload https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.dragtop/master/src/test/rythm/pptExtractor.rythm and drag&drop it.

As a result your browser should open and show you an "exported" version of your Powerpoint presentation with all images and text "extracted". You'll find the images in your /tmp directory.
