2 Preface
Scope of This Manual
This manual gives a brief introduction into the scripting module of QCad. With scripts you can automate tasks, plot mathematical functions, customize the user interface of QCad or generate whole drawings based on user parameters.
Scripting for the Uninitiated
The scripting language integrated in QCad is an ECMA compliant language called QSA. Those familiar with Java, C++, C# or JavaScript will immediately be able to code the basic control structures. If you have never programmed in such a language before, you might want to have a look at the existing code samples provided with QCad to get a basic idea of how such code looks like.
Please note that this manual does not cover any basic programming language constructs. For a documentation of the generic features of the programming language, please refer to the QSA Manual instead.
