Dear friends,
In my 'graphic project' I want to place text into a TextLine. The following script gets some properties from a selected TextLine (which is located in an anchored frame). But so far I create an empty TextLIne at the desired place and with the desired angle.
But how to put text into it?
// Clone a selected TextLine to check the function
#target framemaker var j, oDoc = app.ActiveDoc, oFrame, oTextLine, CM = 1857713, DEGREE = 65536; oSelected = oDoc.FirstSelectedGraphicInDoc; oFrame = oSelected.FrameParent; oTextLine = oDoc.NewTextLine(oFrame); // Take over specifications from selection
// there needs to be text to get the TextLine visible!
//oTextLine.AddText ("New text"); // statement not valid oTextLine.Angle = 5 * DEGREE; oTextLine.BasePointX = oSelected.BasePointX; oTextLine.BasePointY = oSelected.BasePointY + 1*CM;
//oTextLine.Width = oSelected.Width; // set by text contents ?
//oTextLine.Height= oSelected.Height oTextLine.Pen = oSelected.Pen; oTextLine.Color = oDoc.GetNamedColor("Magenta"); // ???
Obviously I need to define a text location - but how is this done in a TextLIne?
