See the Illustrator Scripting forum on adobe.com's User Forums for
scriptable applications.
BTW, the best reference for AppleScripting Adobe applications tends to
be their Scripting Guide PDF that comes with the product -- NOT the
dictionary. Sometimes third-party books can help, too, because they
provide much-needed examples, such as "AppleScripting InDesign" by
Shirley Hopkins.

Thanks all f you for replying.
I tried to open Adobe Illustrator's Dictionary, and it appeared
"blank" to me.
Am I missing something?
Where is AI's dictionary? Is it scriptable at all?

hi Bernardo,
I would use applecript and illustrator’s (10 or CS) variable function.
first you must create a graph in illustrator choosing the preferred
style
(chart, line, pie…) and add some data; then you have to bind that
object to
a variable in the variables palette. You can create all the data set
manually in illustrator, but the point is that you can import your
data
formatted as xml using applescript and the print all the dataset
informations…
I don't know if you are familiar with this feature but if you look at
the
examples provided with the software you will realize its potential.

Subject: Creating a chart or graphic line...
Hi Folks!
I am posting this message on both AppleScript Studio and AppleScript
Lists. Just thought my solution could come out as my own app or an
existing app..
I have a little app that writes a log showing temperature in a
furnace,
thermal expansion and time.
Example:
10:15, 230º C, 0.10%
10:45, 250º C, 0.15%
and so goes on... up to 800ºC
I would like to generate a chart, a graphic line displayed on screen,
that could be printed, using x and y axes, using temperature and
expansion values only.
I mean a graphic line like you would see printed in a newspaper in
the
stock exchange section.
Questions:
1) How would you approach the problem? Use your own built app? Or use
some exiting app?
2) Any tips of how to get it done?
Thanks!
