==Description==

It is easy to add macros by using the [[Std_AddonMgr|Addon Manager]]. A regular user doesn't need to do more than use this tool. Keep reading for more information regarding installation of [[macros|macros]].

Macros are sequences of commands which are used to perform a complex drawing operation. Macros are [[Python|Python]] scripts, which means they are text files that can be written and edited with a text editor.

While Python scripts normally have the {{incode|.py}} extension, LabRPS macros should have the {{incode|.RPSMacro}} extension. A collection of macros written by experienced users is found in the [[macros recipes|macros recipes]] page.

See [[Introduction to Python|Introduction to Python]] to learn about the Python programming language, and then [[Python scripting tutorial|Python scripting tutorial]] and [[LabRPS Scripting Basics|LabRPS Scripting Basics]] to learn about writing macros.
