IP Element Container - Add Command

Command for interactively adding a new IP Step configured with a selected IP Command to an IP Element Container.

Remarks

The Add Command class enables users to extend an image processing workflow by adding a new IP Step to an IP Element Container.

This command provides a guided interface for selecting the IP Command type, specifying a unique step name, and optionally providing a description. The new step is then inserted into the container, ready for further configuration or execution.

Properties

Name	Type		Description
Step Name	String	►	The name to assign to the new IP Step. Requiredtrue The 'Step Name' property specifies the display name for the new IP Step being added to the container. This name should be unique among sibling steps and should clearly describe the purpose or function of the step within the workflow. Configuration Guidance Choose a name that reflects the operation performed by the step (e.g., Deskew, Remove Background). Avoid duplicate names within the same container to prevent confusion and ensure proper workflow execution. The name will be used in expressions and references throughout the IP Profile. Example Binary Cleanup
Description	String	►	An optional description to assign to the new IP Step. The 'Description' property allows you to provide additional context or notes about the new IP Step. This can be helpful for documenting the intent, configuration, or special considerations for the step, making the workflow easier to understand and maintain. Configuration Guidance Use this field to explain why the step is included, any important settings, or how it fits into the overall workflow. Descriptions are especially useful in complex profiles or when collaborating with other users. Example Removes isolated noise pixels from binary images to improve OCR accuracy.
Command Type	String	►	The type of IP Command to add to the new IP Step. Requiredtrue The 'Command Type' property determines which IP Command will be used for the new IP Step. Selecting the appropriate command is essential for achieving the desired image processing result. Configuration Guidance Choose from the list of available IP Command types, each representing a specific image processing operation (e.g., Deskew, Binarize, Remove Background). The selected command will define the behavior and configuration options for the new step. If you are unsure which command to use, consult the documentation for each IP Command type or experiment with different options in test mode. Example Grooper.IP.Commands.Deskew
