LibreCAD 3 - Lua Scripting
Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language developed by a team at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
LibreCAD Scripting with lua
One of the scripting languages LibreCAD support's is [Lua]. Lua is the default scripting language and will be available for most simple scripting needs. Lua is very powerful but at the same time provides a easy to understand programming language. Please see Lua's reference manual for more information.
Example:
-- draw a line from coordinate 0,0 to coordinate 100,00 -- get the current document currentDocument=app.currentDocument() -- Use the Create operation to create new items within a drawing ce = Create(currentDocument, "0") -- Append a line ce:append(Line(Coord(0,0), Coord(100,100))) -- Append a circle ce:append(Circle(Coord(0,0), 12)) -- Execute within the document ce:execute()
