Combining prefix indicating large, great, long (as opposed to micro-), from Latin makrós . Macro-scale systems include habitats, ecosystems ...
The ability of a lens to focus just inches away from an object or subject so as to produce big close-ups, sometimes even larger-than-life size.
A series of program commands or instructions which are stored in a file and can be recalled when necessary. Macros are commonly used to customise high-end GIS toolkits for individual applications.
A macro is an abbreviation for a set of commands, so instead of typing a complicated sequence of commands you can simply type the macro's name. You can either think of macros as a new commands in their own right or as subroutines.
A text file containing a sequence of commands that can be executed as one command. Macros can be built to perform frequently used, as well as complex, operations. The ARC Macro Language (AML) is used to create macros for ArcInfo.
A series of commands and procedures that are carried out in response to a single command or keystroke, or identified by a single name.
Malware that is encoded as a macro embedded in a document.
A set of instructions that are represented by a word. When this word is inserted in the source code, the compiler replaces the word with the set of instructions that the word represents. Macros are used for common tasks. The macro serves to keep the source code more readable.
An extension to the core language that can be defined by the user, by the implementation, or as part of the Dylan language specification. Much of the grammatical structure of Dylan is built with macros.
Lens capable of extreme closeup focusing, useful for intimate views of very small subjects.
A binding of a name to a string.
A series of laser printer escape code sequences, control codes and data whose execution can be initiated with a single printer command. Magnetic Ink Usually printer's ink to which iron oxide particles have been added. ...
TrEd by default offers only a small set of fundamental and generic tree-editing commands. Commands specific to certain purpose or data are typically implemented as user-defined macros. ...
Macro photography generally describes photographing the very small. When people talk about macro photography, you’ll often hear them talk about “reproduction ratios” or “magnification” and you’ll see numbers like 1:2 or 1:1 or even odd ones like 1:7.1. ...
a user-specifiable programming language construct that is expanded into source language code at compilation or interpretation time. In Lisp, a macro is a function that produces Lisp code as its result.
A macro is a shortcut key combination. For example, a macro allows one to hit one letter and have it execute a few different commands.
A series of commands, keyboard or mouse actions that are recorded and performed automatically when a certain key is pressed or a certain command is entered.
A set of instructions written in a high-level programming language that manipulate the commands in a GIS to perform specific predefined tasks or processes. ...
A series of special instructions for a program or a metalanguage that allows a name to be substituted for a repeated sequence of operations or text within a document or program.
a simple computer program that scripts a series of actions. Macros can usually be created without writing any programming code. The simplest way to create a macro is to record a series of keystrokes that can then be reused later.
A group of commands, or signals, chosen from the repertoire of a remote control, which can be executed/sent in sequence with the touch of one button.
A symbol, name, or key that represents a list of commands, actions, or keystrokes.
a panel that holds more than one acting entity
This is close up photography with a special lens.
Lenses with this feature can focus very close (less than 8") for taking pictures of small objects at a 1:1 ratio.
very large in scale or scope or capability a single computer instruction that results in a series of instructions in machine language
A macro in computer science is an abstraction, that defines how a certain input pattern is replaced by an output pattern according to a defined set of rules.
Macro is the co-protagonist in the Eagle series, by Simon Scarrow.
