draw

Executes a system command, capturing its binary output in a tempfile. Yields the tempfile.

Use this method to shell out to a system library (e.g. muPDF or FFmpeg) for preview image generation. The resulting tempfile can be used as the :io value in an attachable Hash:

def preview
  download_blob_to_tempfile do |input|
    draw "my-drawing-command", input.path, "--format", "png", "-" do |output|
      yield io: output, filename: "#{blob.filename.base}.png", content_type: "image/png"
    end
  end
end

The output tempfile is opened in the directory returned by #tmpdir.
