Exporting member models

Each LoadedElement describes one member as a plain dictionary:

member = loaded_elements["FB2.0"]
member.model()             # dict, numbers rounded to 3 decimal places
member.model(precision=4)

Changed in version 0.8.0: model is a method, not a property. Call .model().

Writing files

dump_json() writes a member’s model to an open text file:

import pathlib

output_dir = pathlib.Path("model_files")
output_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

for tag, member in loaded_elements.items():
    with open(output_dir / f"{tag}.json", "w") as file:
        member.dump_json(file, precision=4)

Note

Earlier versions also had a dump_toml method. It has been removed. To write TOML, pass member.model() to a TOML writer such as tomli-w.

Tagged PDFs

To keep a record of which tag belongs to which markup, write the tags back into the PDF:

graph.export_tagged_pdf()                       # writes <name>-tagged.pdf
graph.export_tagged_pdf("markup-v2-tagged.pdf")
