Member Function Documentation

◆ debug

void StelScriptMgr::debug ( const QString & msg )

slot

This is so that functions in StelMainScriptAPI can explicitly send information to the ScriptConsole

◆ getAuthor

QString StelScriptMgr::getAuthor ( const QString & s ) const

slot

Parameters

s	the file name of the script whose name is to be returned.

Returns: text following a comment with Author: at the start. If no such comment is found, "" is returned. If the file is not found or cannot be opened for some reason, an Empty string will be returned.

◆ getDescription

QString StelScriptMgr::getDescription ( const QString & s ) const

slot

Parameters

s	the file name of the script whose name is to be returned.

Returns: text following a comment with Description: at the start. The description is considered to be over when a line with no comment is found. If no such comment is found, QString("") is returned. If the file is not found or cannot be opened for some reason, an Empty string will be returned.

◆ getHtmlDescription

QString StelScriptMgr::getHtmlDescription	(	const QString &	s,
		bool	generateDocumentTags = `true`
	)		const

slot

Includes name, author, description...

Parameters

s	the file name of the script whose HTML description is to be returned.
generateDocumentTags	if true, the main wrapping document tags (<html><body>...</body></html>) are also generated

◆ getLicense

QString StelScriptMgr::getLicense ( const QString & s ) const

slot

Parameters

s	the file name of the script whose name is to be returned.

Returns: text following a comment with License: at the start. If no such comment is found, "" is returned. If the file is not found or cannot be opened for some reason, an Empty string will be returned.

◆ getName

QString StelScriptMgr::getName ( const QString & s ) const

slot

Parameters

s	the file name of the script whose name is to be returned.

Returns: text following a comment with Name: at the start. If no such comment is found, the file name will be returned. If the file is not found or cannot be opened for some reason, an Empty string will be returned.

◆ getShortcut

QString StelScriptMgr::getShortcut ( const QString & s ) const

slot

Parameters

s	the file name of the script whose name is to be returned.

Returns: text following a comment with Shortcut: at the start. If no such comment is found, QString("") is returned. If the file is not found or cannot be opened for some reason, an Empty string will be returned.

◆ getVersion

QString StelScriptMgr::getVersion ( const QString & s ) const

slot

Parameters

s	the file name of the script whose name is to be returned.

Returns: text following a comment with Version: at the start. If no such comment is found, "" is returned. If the file is not found or cannot be opened for some reason, an Empty string will be returned.

◆ output

void StelScriptMgr::output ( const QString & msg )

slot

This is so that functions in StelMainScriptAPI can explicitly send information to the ScriptConsole

◆ prepareScript

bool StelScriptMgr::prepareScript	(	QString &	script,
		const QString &	fileName,
		const QString &	includePath = `""`
	)

slot

Use runPreprocessedScript to execute the script. It should be safe to call this method from another thread.

Parameters

script	returns the preprocessed script text
fileName	the location of the file containing the script.
includePath	the directory to use when searching for include files in the SSC preprocessor. Usually this will be the same as the script file itself, but if you're running a generated script from a temp directory, but want to include a file from elsewhere, it can be usetul to set it to something else (e.g. in ScriptConsole).

Returns: false if the named script could not be prepared, true otherwise

◆ preprocessScript()

bool StelScriptMgr::preprocessScript	(	const QString	fileName,
		const QString &	input,
		QString &	output,
		const QString &	scriptDir,
		int &	errLoc
	)

process include instructions. if the command line option –verbose has been given, this dumps the preprocessed script with line numbers attached to log. This helps to understand the line number given by the usual error message.

◆ runningScriptId()

QString StelScriptMgr::runningScriptId ( ) const

Returns: Empty string if no script is running, else the ID of the script which is running.

◆ runPreprocessedScript

bool StelScriptMgr::runPreprocessedScript	(	const QString &	preprocessedScript,
		const QString &	scriptId
	)

slot

In general, you do not want to use this method, use runScript() or runScriptDirect() instead.

Note: This is a blocking call! The event queue is held up by calls of QCoreApplication::processEvents().

Parameters

preprocessedScript	the string containing the preprocessed script.
scriptId	The name of the script. Usually should correspond to the file name.

Returns: false if the given script code could not be run, true otherwise

◆ runScript

bool StelScriptMgr::runScript	(	const QString &	fileName,
		const QString &	includePath = `""`
	)

slot

In essence, this calls prepareScript and runPreprocessedScript.

Note: This is a blocking call! The event queue is held up by calls of QCoreApplication::processEvents().

Parameters

fileName	the location of the file containing the script.
includePath	the directory to use when searching for include files in the SSC preprocessor. If empty, this will be the same as the directory where the script file resides. If you're running a generated script from a temp directory, but want to include a file from elsewhere, it can be usetul to set it to something else (e.g. in ScriptConsole).

Returns: false if the named script could not be prepared or run, true otherwise

◆ runScriptDirect [1/2]

bool StelScriptMgr::runScriptDirect	(	const QString &	scriptCode,
		const QString &	includePath = `QString()`
	)

slot

(Required e.g. in RemoteControl)

◆ runScriptDirect [2/2]

bool StelScriptMgr::runScriptDirect	(	const QString	scriptId,
		const QString &	scriptCode,
		int &	errLoc,
		const QString &	includePath = `QString()`
	)

slot

This can be used for quick script executions, without having to create a temporary file first.

Note: This is a blocking call! The event queue is held up by calls of QCoreApplication::processEvents().

Parameters

scriptId	path name, if available, or something helpful
scriptCode	The script to execute
errLoc	offset of erroneous include line, or -1
includePath	If a null string (the default), no pre-processing is done. If an empty string, the default script directories are used (script/ in both user and install directory). Otherwise, the given directory is used.

Returns: false if the named script code could not be prepared or run, true otherwise

◆ saveOutputAs

void StelScriptMgr::saveOutputAs ( const QString & filename )

slot

This is required to allow reading with other program on Windows while output.txt is still open.

Parameters

filename new filename. If this is not an absolute path, it will be created in the same directory as output.txt

Note: For storing to absolute path names, set [scripts]/flag_script_allow_write_absolute_path=true.

◆ scriptIsRunning()

bool StelScriptMgr::scriptIsRunning ( ) const

Returns: true if a script is running, else false

◆ setScriptRate

void StelScriptMgr::setScriptRate ( double r )

slot

Note that this is not the same as the rate at which simulation time passes because the script running at normal rate might set the simulation time rate to be non-real time.

Parameters

r	rate, e.g. 2.0 = script runs at twice the normal rate

◆ stopScript

void StelScriptMgr::stopScript ( )

slot

Returns: false if no script was running, true otherwise.
