Downloads/API
- Ogrescript can be most easily run inside ELF, which can be downloaded here.
- Ogrescript Javadocs can be accessed at: API.
- A set of Ogrescript sample scripts, many of which are reproduced in full or in part as the examples in this guide, may be accessed here: sample scripts.
Purpose/History
Ogrescript is a descendent of OGRE; it is the language native to ELF, and thus meant to be run inside of the ELF container, which is built on the Eclipse (OSGI) platform framework. Hence, Ogrescript is organized as a series of plug-ins.
...
Ogrescript still runs in an environment, but this is now locally unified, in the sense that there are no separate build properties (i.e., Ant-like write-once variables) to manage outside of the Ogrescript framework as there were in OGRE.
...
The attached pages constitute a fairly complete user's guide to Ogrescript.
- Ogrescript Basics explains the syntax and Java semantics of Ogrescript XML, with basic coding principles.
- Control Flow illustrates the programming constructs (branching, looping, parallelism, etc.) made available in Ogrescript.
- Plugins & Tasks serves as a manual for the tasks/tags included in the
...
- standard Ogrescript distribution.
