Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and LabRPS Scripting Basics.

To create a new document use the newDocument([name], [hidden=False]) method of the LabRPS application. The document name must be unique, which is checked automatically. If no name is supplied, the document will be named "Untitled". If hidden=True is used, the new document won't be displayed in the GUI and no tab will appear for it.

import LabRPS
from pathlib import Path

# The folder and filename we will use:
fld = 'D:/testfiles/'
fnm = fld + 'test.RPSStd'

# Make sure fld exists:
Path(fld).mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

doc = LabRPS.newDocument()
doc.saveAs(fnm)

LabRPS.closeDocument(doc.Name)

doc = LabRPS.open(fnm)
doc.save()

LabRPS.closeDocument(doc.Name)
