4.7.1. Show Scripting Console

Opens a command line console to type in Python or JavaScript code (depending on the setting in the Preferences). Useful for debugging when programming user interfaces dynamically. The console is opened in the context of the current network. Access is possible to

the contexts of all modules contained in the current network
(for macro modules) to all objects of included modules in a recursive descend

	Note
	If the current network is a macro network, the script console is opened in the context of the macro module. The same context is reached when opening the script console via the macro module's context menu, Debugging → Show Script Console.

4.7.2. Edit Network Script

(Macro modules only) Opens the interface definition file (.script or .def) in the default text editor.

4.7.3. Start Network Script

(Macro modules only) Parses the interface definition file (.script or .def). Has the same effect as adding the macro module to a network and opening the module panel.

4.7.4. Run User Script...

Opens a browse dialog to load and run a user script. By default, the folder MeVisLab/IDE/Modules/IDE/USerScripts is opened, where a number of commonly used scripts are located.

4.7.5. Run Last User Script:

Runs the last chosen user script. This menu entry is only active if a user script has been executed before.
