Picture scripts are instructions for drawing technical pictures on the base of partlist variables. They are evaluated in real time.

 

Picture script in a partlist

 

The following functions are provided in the icon bar:

 

	Creates a new picture script; the name of the picture script has to be unique
	Deletes the selected picture script
	Executes the selected picture script
	Exports the selected picture script in a .cs (c#) format
	Imports a picture script in a .cs (c#) format
	Inserts an RGB color code by selection from a color box

 

For each partlist any number of picture scripts can be created, e.g. different scripts for different output in the checklist and on printed documents.

 

The definition of a picture script is made in the following method:

protected override void Build()

 

In the lower area of the script view an overview of the possible code words is shown with a description for each control. A double click on one of the code words inserts it into the script for its modification.

 

Call for embedding a picture script into a checklist:

ConfLine(“=_PicWidth 500”, “”);
