Larsbrubaker: clarity

__NOTOC__{{DISPLAYTITLE:Macros}}Macros are snippets of saved code which can be called with the click of a button instead of having to be typed repeatedly.

The Macros of the Controls pane section is where the user creates and stores these macros.

To learn more about G-Code and its utility in 3D printing, check out this resource: http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code

== Macros Pane ==

[[File:Macros-example.png|right|framed|<center>Macros pane containing example macros for the Rostock MAX V2</center>]]Once macros have been created, they will appear under the '''Macros''' title.

The screenshot to the right shows an example of several macro buttons for the Rostock MAX V2.
<br clear=all>
== Macro Editor ==

[[File:Macros-blank-ss.png|right|framed|<center>By default, the Macros section has no buttons.</center>]]To access the Macro Editor, click the pencil icon ([[File:Pencil-edit.png]]) next to the word '''Macros'''. This will open the Macro Presets window.
<br clear=all>
=== Macro Presets Window ===

[[File:Macros-Presets-blank-ss.png|none]]

==== Add ====

To add a new Macro, click the '''Add''' button. This will open the '''Edit Macro''' window.

==== Close ====

Click the '''Close''' button to close the window and return to the main screen.

=== Edit Macro Window ===

[[File:Macros-Editor-ss.png|none]]

== Macro Scripting (Starting in version 1.7) ==

Macro Scripting allows for the use of advanced functions in macros. These functions are called by using commands.

=== Syntax ===

To use a macro scripting command, begin the line with the following function:

<code>; host.:</code>

Then add a command and any applicable parameters.

<code>; command([parameters])"</code>

The result should look something like this:

<code>; host.show_message(title:"Waiting for extruder to heat to [temperature].")</code>

=== Commands ===

<code>ding()</code>

Play a bell sound.

<code>show_message()</code>

Shows the specified message.

Optional parameter variables (content must be in quotes):

*title: [main text to show]
*image: [a url of the image you wish to show]
*wait_ok: [script execution will wait for the user to click 'ok']
*repeat_gcode: [gcode to repeat until expire time reached (separate lines with a |)]
*expire: [the max amount of time to run repeate_gcode or show this message]
*count_down: [show a timer counting down from this time]

<code>choose_material</code>

Shows the choose material window.

Optional parameter variables (content must be in quotes):

*title: [main text to show]

=== Example Script ===

The following is an example of a script used for loading filament:

<pre>; host.choose_material(title:"Choose the material that you are loading.")
