The “Edit” window for graphs and Python scripts provides various possibilities and you can change almost everything here. It is even possible to edit the program. Entries and functions are almost exactly the same for graphs and script, and therefore they are explained together here.

Info
Please also read the “How to Add a Command” chapter for more information about how to work with this dialogue.




Source

This area provides access to the graph's or script's source.

Edit graph/Edit Python script

A click on this button opens a graphs or Python editor. There you have to enter the instructions you want to execute when the command is used. The editors have exactly the same functionality as their “[ Batch Graph ]” and “[ Batch Script ]” counterparts from the “Layout” menu. Please read the appropriate chapters to learn more about how to use them.

A workflow for an example how to create a Python command can be found under “A Python Command”. Adding a new graph works exactly the same way.

File location

With “Add new graph” or “Add new Python script” you will see a non-editable “embedded” entry. If you have chosen “...from file” the field contains the path to the script you have been loading before.

A click on this button opens a file browser where you can change or update the path to the command's graph/script file. With embedded commands the button is inactive.

Save to file and convert to reference

This button can be seen with “Add new graph from file” or “Add new Python script from file”. When you click on it, RealFlow will convert the embedded command into a file and create a link to it. From this moment, the “Commands Manager” will always require access to the graph/script, so please be careful where you save the file: if it is not found the command cannot be executed.

Embed command into RealFlow

If you have chosen one of the “...from file” options you have the possibility of converting the external graph/script into an embedded command. The original file will be kept and not deleted; RealFlow will just cut the link to the file.

Properties

In this section the command is described and you can add an icon that will be displayed in RealFlow's shelves.
