Viz Trio Macro Language
The Viz Trio macro language lets you script many of the operations that are normally done in the interface. The general syntax is:
Command [argument]Note: Some commands take several arguments, such as command scaling that must have the x-, y- and z- axes specified. See the command list for more information.
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 would normally trigger a dialog for user input, such as page:delete 1000. The latter example would normally ask a user to confirm deletion. To avoid this, it's possible to set the following modes:
- gui:set_silent_mode: Controls whether to show dialogues to the user.
- gui:set_interactive_mode: Controls whether to show dialogues to the user.
