1. using PyLabs tasklets

2. using JavaScript macros

Both options are explained in this section.

PyLabs Tasklets

Creating PyLabs macros is creating a directory in /opt/qbase5/lib/python/site-

packages/alkira/tasklets/pylabsmacro and putting one or more tasklets in it. Once

you have created the directory with a tasklet, you can start using the macro by using the

directory name.

For example, create a directory demo in /opt/qbase5/lib/python/site-

packages/alkira/tasklets/pylabsmacro and create a tasklet in it.

In your DCPM page you can then use the macro [[demo]].

If you have more than one tasklet in the directory you must create a match function in the

tasklets and provide a label or tags to the macro. See the generic macro page for an

example.

JavaScript Macros

Instead of using PyLabs' macro system, you can also create your own macros in

JavaScript. Below we elaborate how you can create a JavaScript macro by using the

Google Maps macro as a reference.

Google Maps Macro Code

Below you can find an example of a macro that shows a static Google map.

//@metadata wizard=googlemaps

//@metadata description=Shows Google Maps static map of choice

//@metadata image=img/macros/googlemaps.png

//@metadata

documentationUrl=http://www.pylabs.org/#/alkiradocs/MacroGoogleMaps

var render = function(options) {

var $this = $(this);

//define params that user can provide when adding the macro to

a page

var lat = parseFloat(options.params.latitude) || 51.1;

var longitude = parseFloat(options.params.longitude) ||

3.83333;

var width = parseFloat(options.params.width) || 250;

var height = parseFloat(options.params.height) || 250;

var zoom = parseFloat(options.params.zoom) || 8;

var cb = function(){

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.1, 3.833333);

var myOptions = {

zoom: 8,
