IPESCRIPT(1)

NAME
ipescript - Run an Ipe script (written in Lua)

SYNOPSIS
ipescript script { arguments }

DESCRIPTION

ipescript runs an Ipe script written in Lua. The Ipe bindings are automatically available in the script. Ipescript looks for the script in any of the script directories.

The script argument should not contain the .lua extension.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ipescript respects the following environment variables:

IPELATEXDIR
    the directory where ipetoipe runs Pdflatex.

IPELATEXPATH
    the directory containing pdflatex and xelatex. If not set, they are searched for on the path.

IPESCRIPTS a list of directories where Ipescript will look for
    scripts. When this variable is not set, Ipe searches first the current directory, then ~/.ipe/scripts, and finally the system-wide Ipe script directory. When this variable is set, it should contain a list of directories, separated by semicolons. A single underscore is replaced by the system-wide Ipe script directory.

IPEDEBUG
    set this to 1 for debugging output from ipescript.
