Excalidraw Automate How To

Use ExcalidrawAutomate to create or manipulate Excalidraw drawings using Excalidraw Scripts (see settings), the Templater or the QuickAdd plugins, and to generate embedded SVG and PNG images using DataviewJS

With a little work, using ExcalidrawAutomate you can generate simple mindmaps, build a family tree, fill out SVG forms, create customized charts, or automate simple tasks (i.e. create macros) in Excalidraw.
