Stamps

Stamps are complete actions, in action code designed for easy re-use. They enable the user to

• set many attributes at once
• use conditions, shell scripts and macros for more complex tasks.

Stamps are defined/edited via the Stamps pane of the Attributes dialog. Stamps can be called by:

• The Stamps menu.
• Action code

In the case of the latter simply cite the Stamp name:

$MyString = s_Stamp; 

or even

s_Stamp; 

if the stamps action is a stand-alone action (e.f. a command line call. A stamp reference can also be mixed with other action code. So, in naming your stamps think about making the names clear so they don't clash with things like operator or attribute names. Stamp names are case sensitive. As they aren't usually seen in major views, there's no need to 'pretty' names, making it easier to use something like a common prefix to stamp names (such as 's_') so that they stand out clearly in code.
