Use the Viz Trio macro language to script many of the operations that are normally done in the UI. The general syntax is:

Some commands take several arguments, for instance the command scaling that must have both the x-, y- and z-axis specified. See the command list for reference.

Macro commands can be used in three ways:

• As part of a shortcut key using the Keyboard Shortcuts and Macros window,

• As part of a script using the Script Editor

• As part of an external application where commands are executed over a socket connection.

When macros are used, it's often desirable to use commands that normally would trigger a dialog for user input such as page:delete 1000, which would normally ask the user for confirmation before deleting. To avoid this, you can set the following modes:

• gui:set_silent_mode: controls whether to show dialogs to the user.

• gui:set_interactive_mode: controls whether to show dialogs to the user.
