Hi,

Is it possible to make multiple selection and then fill it? (its not a continous selection, its multiple squares/rectangles and they dont overlap)

Manually I would select a rectangle, then use 'shift' and make second selection, use 'shift' again and make next selection... [refer attachment]

Code: Select all


var ad = app.activeDocument;

  ad.selection.select([ [0,0], [0,10], [10,10], [10,0] ]); // first square

  ad.selection.select([ [20,20], [20,30], [30,30], [30,20] ]); // second square

   ...

  ad.selection.select([ [200,200], [200,230], [230,230], [230,200] ]); // nth square

  ad.selection.fill( app.foregroundColor);

Thanks in advance

Code: Select all

function slctn() {

	sel = (aD = activeDocument).selection

	for(i = 0; i < (arg = arguments).length;) {

		sel.select(arg[i++], SelectionType.EXTEND)

	}

	sel.fill(foregroundColor), sel.deselect()

}



slctn([[0,0], [0,10], [10,10], [10,0]], [[20,20],

[20,30], [30,30], [30,20]], [[200,200],

[200,230], [230,230], [230,200]])

Unfortunately after one update this forum doesn't have indentations, so each line of above script start from the same position what makes it unreadable. Btw it seems I'm the last who answer on this forum - it's almost dead

I sent you PM - check this out.

That's perfect, thanks a lot Kukurykus.
