-> ADD: Add ButtonA click on this button reveals a small submenu with four entries. Despite the fact that you can add graphs or scripts from different sources, you will always see the same input mask (except for a very few differences).



When you choose “Add new graph from file” or “Add new Python script from file” a file browser appears where you can load a RFG/XML (graphs) or a RFS/PY (script) file. Then, the “Add” dialogue is displayed.

Info
The first look shows that the window is subdivided into several areas. While the meaning of most fields are pretty straight-forward and almost self-explanatory, there are few functions which require a deeper discussion – they are located under “Input parameters” and explained separately here.

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.

From File” let's you choose a PNG, JPG, BMP or SVG file from your hard disk with the “...” button. The chosen image will be shown in the “File location” field. If you want to keep the icon as an external reference, check the appropriate storage method. If you want to embed the image into RealFlow, choose this option.

The “Preview” function works as described above. Please bear in mind that upscaled pixel-based image formats will look jaggy.
