Introduction to script

In Ge there is a collection of commands to create graphic elements as rectangles, texts,
polylines and subgraphs. These commands can be executed from the command line in Ge, or
executed from script files that is executed from the command line.

The script files can furthermore contain a language similar to c, that contains operators f�r
calculations, if statements and for loops etc. There are also functions to fetch information
from the development database. See the manual for Wtt Script for more information.

Ge script can for example be used to convert graph from other systems to ge graphs, or to
automatically generate forms or graphs from objects in the database.

Create objects

Base objects as rectangles, lines etc. are created by the create command. Before the object
is created you set the disired properties of the editor (fill, border, fill color, text size
etc.) and then you create the object.

Rectangle

An example of a filled rectangle

set fill

set linewidth 1

set bordercolor Black

set fillcolor BlueHigh7

create rect /x1=10 /y1=1 /width=4  /height=2

Circle

An example of a half circle

set nofill

set linewidth 2

set bordercolor Black

create arc /x1=1 /y1=1 /x2=3 /y2=2 /angle1=0 /angle2=180

Line

Line example

set linewidth 1

set bordercolor Black

create line /x1=0 /y1=0 /x2=10 /y2=0

Polylinje

To create to polyline, you create the first segment with 'create', and the following segments
with 'add'.

Polyline example

set nofill

set linewidth 1

set bordercolor Black

create polyline /x1=5 /y1=5 /x2=6 /y2=6

add polyline /x1=5 /y1=7

add polyline /x1= 6/y1=8

add polyline /x1=5 /y1=9

add polyline /x1= 6 /y1=10

Text

Example

set textsize 14

set textfont LucidaSans

set textcolor RedHigh8

set bold

create text/text="Example" /x1=3 /y1=5

Subgraph object

Creating subgraphs object is a bit different. Here you create the object first, and the set
the attributes of the object.

Valve example

create object /sub=pwr_valve /x1=1 /y1= 1 /x2=3 /y2=2

set current fillcolor YellowGreenMedium4

set current attr DigLowColor.Attribute "Rt-Dv1.ActualValue##Boolean"

set current attr DigLowColor.Color GrayHigh8

Pushbutton example

create object /sub=pwr_buttonset /x1=5 /y1=1

! Change type to SetDig with Confirm

set current attr Dyntype1 DigLowColor

set current attr Action Inherit|Confirm

set current attr annotation "Start"

set current attr Confirm.Text "Do you really want to..."

set current attr SetDig.Attribute "rt-Dv1.ActualValue##Boolean"

set current attr DigLowColor.Attribute "rt-Dv2.ActualValue##Boolean"

set current attr DigLowColor.Color YellowGreenMedium4

set current attr Access System|Operator1

Graph attributes

Before saving the graph, you should state the borders in x and y direction for the graph, and
some other attributes. This is done with the command 'set graphattributes'.

Example

set graph x0 -3

set graph y0 -3

set graph x1 40

set graph y1 37

set graph AnimationScanTime 0.2

set graph BackgroundImage "corrado.gif"

Subgraph attributes

If the graph is to be saved as a subgraph, you also use 'set graphattributes'. You first set
the attribute 'subgraph' and thereafter the other attributes that belongs to a subgraph.

Example

set graph subgraph 1

set graphattr Action ToggleDig

set graphattr DynType1 DigLowColor

set graphattr Color1 YellowGreenMedium4

set graphattr NoConObstacle 1
