Excalidraw 1.3.0

New Features

I have extended ExcalidrawAutomate with functions that allow a script to directly add elements to an active Excalidraw View. This paves the way to feature-rich Excalidraw macros, such as adding activities to a flowchart.

2021-09-03.09-24-32.mp4

These are the new functions:

getElements():ExcalidrawElement[];
getElement(id:string):ExcalidrawElement;
//View Manipulation
targetView: ExcalidrawView;
setView(view:ExcalidrawView|"first"|"active"):ExcalidrawView;
getExcalidrawAPI():any;
getViewSelectedElement():ExcalidrawElement;
connectObjectWithViewSelectedElement(
  objectA:string,
  connectionA: ConnectionPoint, 
  connectionB: ConnectionPoint, 
  formatting?: { 
    numberOfPoints?: number,
    startArrowHead?:string,
    endArrowHead?:string, 
    padding?: number
}):boolean;
addElementsToView(repositionToCursor:boolean, save:boolean):Promise<boolean>;

Excalidarw 1.2.24

Fixed

• #133 gridSize is not picked up from Template
• also added ExcalidrawAutomate.canvas.gridSize parameter to the automation interface.
• Template now does not need to include the .md file extension

Excalidraw 1.2.23

Fixed

• Error when leaving fullscreen, if two Excalidraw drawings were open side by side
• Error when text element is not yet present in the underlying markdown document and a link-hover event is triggered
• Name of the command palette action to switch between RAW and PREVIEW mode, changed from LOCK/UNLOCK to RAW/PREVIEW.

New

• Published wrapText(text:string, lineLen:number):string via ExcalidrawAutomate.

Excalidraw 1.2.22

Fixed:

• Transclusion of blocks did not work as expected when the block was a bullet point.

Improved:

• When hovering a block reference, the block text will appear in the hover preview, not the entire document

Excalidraw 1.2.21

Fixed

• Blockquote transclusion

Excalidraw 1.2.20

New Feature

• Implemented basic word wrapping for embedded text. This partially resolves: #118
  Include max line length after transclusion in curly brackets: ![[File#^blockref]]{40}
  This example will wrap text to achieve max 40 characters per line.

Excalidraw 1.2.19

New Feature

• improved block embedding. Now supports
  • multiline blocks

  line 1
  line 2
  line 3 
  ^blockref

• and heading references e.g. ![[file#section]]

Excalidraw 1.2.18

Fixed:

• Exit full-screen mode not working on the second screen (screen without taskbar - windows 10).

Excalidraw 1.2.17

Fix:

• #130 Markdown loses focus in side by side mode

Changed feature:

• #121 and #129
  Command Palette Create a new drawing - IN A NEW PANE - and embed into active document and Create a new drawing - IN THE CURRENT ACTIVE PANE - and embed into active document will use the Vault's Default location for new attachments setting + the filename of the active file + "_" + Excalidraw's filename date setting for the filename of the new drawing.
• Excalidraw will now process ![[drawing.md|100%|css-class]] correctly. The width of the drawing in the resulting HTML will correctly show 100%. This feature is useful when including Excalidraw images into presentations with the Slides core plugin.

Excalidraw 1.2.16

Fixes

• On rare occasions, when closing Obsidian with an Excalidraw file open, syncing the drawing with the underlying markdown before saving was in a race condition that resulted in an invalid JSON. I moved this code into an await block
• Changed fullscreen mode, to be even more fullscreen
• Hover preview did not show in fullscreen mode, I added an ugly workaround, for now, to reattach the popover to the contentEl, because in fullscreen mode only the contentEl is visible, other DIVs are hidden.
• Changed how image updates happen after settings changes. Moved reloadRequests and embedUpdates to settings.hide().

New feature

• Added setting to have a different prefix for URL links.
• Added a new frontmatter switch for document-specific URL prefix.
