Test place guides

[Larry Ligon]

Here is a function and test script to place guides:

Code: Select allvar docRef = app.documents.add(500 ,600 ,72,"Test place guides" ,NewDocumentMode.RGB );

   var horizPosition = "Hrzn";
   var vertPosition = "Vrtc" ;

   //Functions begin
   function placeGuides(guideOrientation,guidePosition){
      var id2049 = charIDToTypeID( "Mk  " );
       var desc431 = new ActionDescriptor();
       var id2050 = charIDToTypeID( "Nw  " );
       var desc432 = new ActionDescriptor();
       var id2051 = charIDToTypeID( "Pstn" );
       var id2052 = charIDToTypeID( "#Pxl" );
       desc432.putUnitDouble( id2051, id2052,guidePosition );
       var id2053 = charIDToTypeID( "Ornt" );
       var id2054 = charIDToTypeID( "Ornt" );
       var id2055 = charIDToTypeID( guideOrientation );
       desc432.putEnumerated( id2053, id2054, id2055 );
       var id2056 = charIDToTypeID( "Gd  " );
       desc431.putObject( id2050, id2056, desc432 );
      executeAction( id2049, desc431, DialogModes.NO );
      return true;
   };

var newHorGuide = placeGuides(horizPosition, 200);
var newVertGuide = placeGuides(vertPosition, 300);

There are functions to create and remove guides in Xbytor's stdlib as well.
