Programatically generating an omnigraffle diagram

[David Holt]

Hello,

I would like create an applescript to programatically generate a 
process flow diagram from a database. Is it possible?

The data I am currently capturing in the database are: type of shape 
(decision, end point, process), previous shape, next shape, shape 
title. What else would I have to include to get the shapes on a diagram 
with proper lines/arrow heads?

I had a look at the applescript to generate a simple box. How much of 
this is necessary? Could I possible generate origins on the fly? I 
tried running the following script with no origin defined and the shape 
drew in the upper left hand corner.

Here is the applescript:

tell front document of application "OmniGraffle Professional"
	tell page 1
		make new shape at end of graphics with properties {magnets: {{0, 1}, 
{0, -1}, {1, 0}, {-1, 0}}, draws shadow: false, origin: {64.000000, 
103.000000}, size: {135.000000, 132.000000}}
	end tell
end tell

thanks,
David
