Visustin - Command line syntax

visustin.exe ["filename.ext"] [/Lang] [/DRAW |/BIRDSEYE |/PREVIEW |/PRINT |/PRINTTO "printer"]

Parameter	Description
"filename.ext"	File to open in Visustin. This can be a source code file or an image file. It can also be a bulk flowcharting job file, in which case Visustin will run the job. Unless a full path is given, the file path is relative to the current working directory.
/Lang	Language of source file (such as /VB, see table below). If language is omitted, Visustin tries to auto-detect the language mode based on the file extension. Because several languages or modes may share the same extension, the wrong mode may be selected, so using the /Lang parameter is recommended.
/DRAW	After opening a source file, draw a flow chart.
/BIRDSEYE	After opening a source file, draw a birdseye flow chart.
/PREVIEW	Open a source file and bring up the Print Preview dialog. Visustin will stay running when the dialog closes.
/PRINT	Open a source file and bring up the Print Preview dialog for printing. Visustin will close when the dialog closes. This switch is provided mainly for printing image files.
/PRINTTO "printer"	The same as /PRINT, but the printer named "printer" will be used. This switch is provided mainly for dragging image files onto a printer icon (Windows shell printto verb).

If a source code file is passed as a parameter with none of /DRAW, /BIRDSEYE, /PREVIEW, /PRINT or /PRINTTO, the file is opened but no flow chart is drawn.
