JWildfire: lesson 5 Scripts tab


Hello!
We continue to investigate the interface of the program JWildfire.

Scripts tab to the right of the visualization window. It is intended for working with scripts. Scripts are a set of action commands that a program must execute.

Рис. 1

In the window of this tab you can see two folders.
The first one is Built-in scripts (read only), contains pre-installed scripts that are downloaded with the program. They can only be used, changes can not be made.
The second folder - User script is intended for user scripts that you create yourself. Only you must first specify a path to them on the computer through the Menu-Settings-Preferences. I do not have my own scripts, so the path is not specified and the buttons are not active.
The Rescan button starts searching for scripts in the directory you specified.

New - accordingly creates a new script.
Dupl - duplicates the selected script with renaming.
From Flame - loads the script from the flame (the saved file with the parameters of the fractal).
Del - deletes the script.
Ren - renames the script.
Add macro button - adds the selected script to the tab Macro buttons.
Run - runs the script.
Edit - allows you to make changes to the script.
If you open a pre-installed script, then the sub-tabs are activated.
Description - contains the description of the script, what should happen (in English)
Code preview - the code itself is visible.

I'll try to apply one script to the previously saved fractal. Judging by the description, I should have something in the form of a heart.

Result:

And it really looks like a heart.

And the last tab on the right is Misc.

For what it I do not know, I see only one single button Randomize all. I'll try to press it.

As a result, I want to call this tab Mixer (perhaps so it is). That single button is like mixing all the values of a fractal. Very curious effect, with each press - a new picture.
I stopped here on this one:

In the next lesson, we move on to the bottom panel of the settings.

To be continued


Sorry for any mistakes in English, this is not my native language.
