App Development

Apps are small user interface components that can be built interactively using the Scripting Workbench scripting environment to automate Image Analysis tasks. This section describes the various steps involved in the creation and deployment of a new App.

App Development

  1. Use image processing and analysis to interactively develop the algorithms and processes that will be required in your App.

  2. Use Scripting Workbench macro recording capabilities to record the main actions of your App.

  3. Fine tune your macros, this may include making sure that the various commands get called with the right input and paramters or adjust the use of variables in your macros.

  4. Create the actual App using the Scripting Workbench, this can be done in Macro Explorer using its context menu, or simply with the ribbon.

  5. Drag & drop the required macros and commands in your App.

  6. Edit the code generated to pass parameters or use variables as required.

  7. Adjust the user interface components present on the design surface to your taste, this consists of customizing visual attributes and adding new controls from the toolbox.

  8. Package the project containing your App, optionally making it a licensed project which will prompt for a license key when started for the first time.

  9. Upload your project to the App Center and possibly create and distribute license keys for your App.
