Creating a Macro Using a Text Editor

Creating a Macro Using a Text Editor

The following are the steps needed to create a macro using a text editor:

1.	Type the macro into the text editor e.g.:

%CWD="c:\\Program Files\\Colorcom\\Pac-n-Zoom\\"
%AutoThresholdLevel = 0
%ThresholdHighReal = 0
%ThresholdLowReal = 0
%ThresholdLevel = 13158600
Open("DH_1.bmp")
ThresholdSeg()
SaveAs("DH_1_seg.bmp")
Stop()

2.	Save the macro. In this example, we will save the macro to the current working directory (CWD). The macro is saved with a *.pzm extension (e.g., DH_1_Seg.pzm).
3.	Save the file, "DH_1.bmp", in the CWD.
4.	From the Pac-n-Zoom® GUI menu, select Macro -> Run Macro.
5.	A list will come up that shows the Pac-n-Zoom macro in the CWD as shown in the following screen shot.

6.	When you select the macro and click "OK", the file will be written and displayed on the screen.
