Command-line Interface

[ixchow]

As someone who prefers simple interfaces, I'd like to be able to set parameters and evaluate AdaCAD workspaces via a command-line interface. This would make it easier to incorporate AdaCAD into parameter sweeps, and to use AdaCAD as part of larger pipelines.

Basic, minimal, proposed interaction example:

$ ./AdaCLI tutorial.ada --set-parameter 'twill' 'warps raised' 5 --export-png 'set materials and systems' tutorial.png

This would load the workspace from 'tutorial.ada', set the 'warps raised' parameter of the operation named 'twill' to 5 and save the output of the 'set materials and systems' operator to 'tutorial.png'.

would this by a python commandline ?

My feature request is for an executable program that can be run (from a typical shell, like bash, cmd.exe, or similar) with command-line arguments to specify its actions.
