Scripts
A script is a set of statements that define the actions performed by a procedure or frame. In OpenROAD, you can write scripts for the following:
• Frames
• Frame events
• Events for a field or menu item
• Procedures
• User class methods
Generally, every frame has at least one event block associated with it, in either a frame script or in an individual field or menu item script associated with the frame. If an interactive frame has no event blocks, then the frame is displayed but the user cannot interact with it. For more information about events, see the Language Reference Guide online help.
The following subsections describe these types of scripts. The last subsection,
Statements in Scripts (see
Statements in Scripts), gives a general overview of the types of statements that you can include in your scripts.
