#+title:    The Library of Babel
#+author:     Org-mode People
#+STARTUP:  oddeven hideblocks

* Introduction

  The Library of Babel is an extensible collection of ready-made and
  easily-shortcut-callable source-code blocks for handling common tasks.
  Org-babel comes pre-populated with the source-code blocks located in this
  file. It is possible to add source-code blocks from any org-mode file to
  the library by calling =(org-babel-lob-ingest "path/to/file.org")=.
  
  This file is included in worg mainly less for viewing through the web
  interface, and more for contribution through the worg git repository.  If
  you have code snippets that you think others may find useful please add
  them to this file and [[file:~/src/worg/worg-git.org::contribute-to-worg][contribute them]] to worg.
  
  The raw Org-mode text of this file can be downloaded at
  [[repofile:contrib/babel/library-of-babel.org][library-of-babel.org]]

* Simple

A collection of simple utility functions:

#+srcname: echo
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var input="echo'd"
  input
#+end_src

* File I/O

** Reading and writing files

Read the contents of the file at =file=.  The =:results vector= and
=:results scalar= header arguments can be used to read the contents of
file as either a table or a string.

#+srcname: read
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var file="" :var format=""
  (if (string= format "csv")
      (with-temp-buffer
        (org-table-import (expand-file-name file) nil)
        (org-table-to-lisp))
    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert-file-contents (expand-file-name file))
      (buffer-string)))
#+end_src

Write =data= to a file at =file=.  If =data= is a list, then write it
as a table in traditional Org-mode table syntax.

#+srcname: write
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var data="" :var file="" :var ext='()
  (flet ((echo (r) (if (stringp r) r (format "%S" r))))
    (with-temp-file file
      (case (and (listp data)
                 (or ext (intern (file-name-extension file))))
        ('tsv (insert (orgtbl-to-tsv data '(:fmt echo))))
        ('csv (insert (orgtbl-to-csv data '(:fmt echo))))
        (t    (org-babel-insert-result data)))))
  nil
#+end_src

** Remote files

**** json

Read local or remote file in [[http://www.json.org/][json]] format into emacs-lisp objects.

#+srcname: json
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var file='() :var url='()
  (require 'json)
  (cond
   (file
    (with-temp-filebuffer file
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (json-read)))
   (url
    (require 'w3m)
    (with-temp-buffer
      (w3m-retrieve url)
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (json-read))))
#+end_src

**** Google docs

The following code blocks make use of the [[http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/][googlecl]] Google command line
tool.  This tool provides functionality for accessing Google services
from the command line, and the following code blocks use /googlecl/
for reading from and writing to Google docs with Org-mode code blocks.

****** Read a document from Google docs

The =google= command seems to be throwing "Moved Temporarily" errors
when trying to download textual documents, but this is working fine
for spreadsheets.

#+source: gdoc-read
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var title="example" :var format="csv"
  (let* ((file (concat title "." format))
         (cmd (format "google docs get --format %S --title %S" format title)))
    (message cmd) (message (shell-command-to-string cmd))
    (prog1 (if (string= format "csv")
               (with-temp-buffer
                 (org-table-import (shell-quote-argument file) '(4))
                 (org-table-to-lisp))
             (with-temp-buffer
               (insert-file-contents (shell-quote-argument file))
               (buffer-string)))
      (delete-file file)))
#+end_src

For example, a line like the following can be used to read the
contents of a spreadsheet named =num-cells= into a table.
: #+call: gdoc-read(title="num-cells"")

A line like the following can be used to read the contents of a
document as a string.

: #+call: gdoc-read(title="loremi", :format "txt")

****** Write a document to a Google docs

Write =data= to a google document named =title=.  If =data= is tabular
it will be saved to a spreadsheet, otherwise it will be saved as a
normal document.

#+source: gdoc-write
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var title="babel-upload" :var data=fibs(n=10) :results silent
  (let* ((format (if (listp data) "csv" "txt"))
         (tmp-file (make-temp-file "org-babel-google-doc" nil (concat "." format)))
         (cmd (format "google docs upload --title %S %S" title tmp-file)))
    (with-temp-file tmp-file
      (insert
       (if (listp data)
           (orgtbl-to-csv
            data '(:fmt (lambda (el) (if (stringp el) el (format "%S" el)))))
         (if (stringp data) data (format "%S" data)))))
    (message cmd)
    (prog1 (shell-command-to-string cmd) (delete-file tmp-file)))
#+end_src

example usage
: #+source: fibs
: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var n=8
:   (flet ((fib (m) (if (< m 2) 1 (+ (fib (- m 1)) (fib (- m 2))))))
:     (mapcar (lambda (el) (list el (fib el))) (number-sequence 0 (- n 1))))
: #+end_src
: 
: #+call: gdoc-write(title="fibs", data=fibs(n=10))

* Plotting code

** R

  Plot column 2 (y axis) against column 1 (x axis). Columns 3 and
  beyond, if present, are ignored.

#+srcname: R-plot(data=R-plot-example-data)
#+begin_src R
plot(data)
#+end_src

#+tblname: R-plot-example-data
| 1 |  2 |
| 2 |  4 |
| 3 |  9 |
| 4 | 16 |
| 5 | 25 |

#+lob: R-plot(data=R-plot-example-data)

#+resname: R-plot(data=R-plot-example-data)
: nil

** Gnuplot

* Org reference

** Headline references

#+source: headline
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var headline=top :var file='()
  (save-excursion
    (when file (get-file-buffer file))
    (org-open-link-from-string (org-make-link-string headline))
    (save-restriction
      (org-narrow-to-subtree)
      (buffer-string)))
#+end_src

#+call: headline(headline="headline references")

** File-specific Version Control logging

This function will attempt to retrieve the entire commit log for the
file associated with the current buffer and insert this log into the
export. The function uses the Emacs VC commands to interface to the
local version control system, but has only been tested to work with
Git. 'limit' is currently unsupported.
