Script Editor

The Script Editor is designed to make it easy to create and edit scripts.

Editor Basics

The Script Editor provides a code editor for editing the contents of a script and commands to manipulate it. The code editor includes syntax highlighting support which can be turned off in the Options dialog.

Viewing variables

The "Show Current Variables" command will display the current list of system and user variables.

Building Blocks

The Script Editor includes a built-in script reference in the form of "building blocks". Simply click the button and choose the command you have. Some commands will include placeholders wrapped in <brackets> and you will need to replace them with actual values.

Commands

These are commands and actions you can perform.

Extensions

These are extensions such as filters. If the extension supports parameters, the list of parameters will be loaded as well.

Set

This provides an easy way to set system values and gives you a reference for them.

Values

These insert values directly into your script. For example, you can insert a color expression by choosing the color using the Color Picker.

Script Manager

The Script Editor replaces the Script Manager in older versions of NPS Image Editor. You can create, copy, delete, import, and export scripts right from the toolbar. The legacy Script Editor can still be accessed from the Component Manager if you prefer to use it.
