Has anyone found support for creating or changing a drawing using Google Apps Script? I’ve looked through the Google documentation, but I don’t see any classes for drawing. I found out how to build user interface elements, but not drawings.
I’d like to have the drawing as part of a document or spreadsheet, but a stand-alone drawing would be good enough.
I got an answer on a related question that is good enough to use as a workaround for this question. You may not be able to modify a Google Drawing directly through code, but you can generate a Windows Metafile image and then upload that to a Google Drawing as described on the Google Docs blog.
Until my feature request is completed, this will have to do.
Update
You can now create drawings through the Google Slides API. If you want that in a Google Drawing, Doc, or Sheet, you can copy it there.
