5 Scripting Classes
Overview
From within a script you can access a limited set of functionality of QCad. This includes some basic classes like the View or Document class that have already been mentioned in the previous chapter. The following table gives a brief overview of all classes available in the scripting environment.
| Class | Brief Description |
| Application | Functions that operate on the application level rather than the document level (e.g. functions that are also accessible in the file menu of the user interface). |
| Arc, Circle, Point, Line | Provide functions to create instances of the respective entity types. |
| Document | Managing current drawing attributes (pen, layer), adding and managing entities in the current drawing. Iteration through entities. |
| Layer | Represents a layer with a name and a default pen. |
| Pen | Wrapper around pen attributes (color, line type, line width). |
| Selection | Selection and de-selection of entities. |
| Toolbar | Handling toolbars to customize the user interface of QCad. |
| Tools | Generic system wide tools. |
| Vector | Representation of a two dimensional mathematical vector. Generic vector transformation functions. |
