Scripting Overview

Foxel uses Lua for scripting.

Scripts can be used to automate tasks, build custom tools and workflows, and access many parts of Foxel directly through code. Most actions that are available in the user interface can also be performed through the Foxel API.

This section explains how to create, edit, write, and execute scripts in Foxel. For full reference documentation of the available modules and functions, see the API documentation.
