To do that, we need to basically run a command in Rhino, which we can do through the RhinoScript syntax library. The command function within this library, is a way to run commands, as we would in the command line in Rhino. This function is simply, Command, and then as the parameter we use a string, which is the command we would use in Rhino. So lets write Render and close parenthesis. We can prefix this command with an underscore. This will ensure that the English version of the command runs, in case different languages change the command name. So lets put underscore in front of R, perfect. So this function will run the render command in Rhino.
