register and run. The register method
is passed a language setting as abbreviation of a locale (currently
en_US, fr, de, hu,
pl, ru, or es). The method
needs to call the registerMenuItem function implemented in the
viewmol module to pass a string back which will appear as the
identification of this script in the submenu.
The run method does not take any argument, but is the entry
point for the script when the user selects the corresponding menu
item in the ``Run script" submenu.
A minimal Python script which will install itself in the ``Run script"
menu would be the following (available at $VIEWMOLPATH/scripts/template.py):
import viewmol
class template:
def run(self):
print "This is a script template which just prints this silly message."
def register(self, language):
viewmol.registerMenuItem("Script template")
# The following three lines are not necessary for running this script
# from the "Run script" menu, but allow the script to also be run
# standalone
if __name__ == '__main__':
script=template()
script.run()
All scripts which are to appear in the ``Run script" menu have to be
installed in the scripts subdirectory under VIEWMOLPATH.
