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.

...

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.

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.

A command requires a unique Id to make it identifiable within RealFlow. We recommend using the already suggested Id to avoid conflicts. Please read more about the importance of the “Class ID” here.

Generate

If you are not happy with the suggested Id please click on this button to create a new number.

...

To provide quick access to your command you can define a shortcut with a small editor. RealFlow also has a sophisticated “Shortcuts Manager” “Shortcut Editor” where you have access to all of RealFlow's key combinations. Please follow this link to learn more.

Icon

A symbol, representing your command, makes it perfect. Supported formats are PNG, JPG, BMP, and SVG. SVG symbols have the great advantage that they can be scaled without a loss of quality. The selected icon is displayed here.
