Export with commandline, not GUI

0 votes
I'd like to use the export function as part of a script to convert graphml files without using the GUI. I'd like to be able to type (something along the lines of):

yEd --export-to eps --outfile myfile.eps myGraph.graphml

and get an eps export of myGraph.grahml in the file myfile.eps.

Sorry, but the yEd Software License Agreement explicitly forbids what you are trying to do. See section 1. License Condition: "The Software may not be used as part of an automated process."

However, it is possible to use yFiles for Java, the commercial Java class library upon which yEd is based, for this purpose.
