Script for Adding Text Info Details

mycort · Post by **mycort** » Sat Sep 08, 2012 4:52 pm

just following up on this....this is truly a great breakthrough, knowing how hard and nearly impossible to achieve this....is it possible to better format this based on my attached guide?

Appreciate a lot on your help so far....thx!

Can anyone help better format this script for me?

Here's the attachment again.

I mentioned
Key 14 = color: DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE
in a previous post, so you should be able to get the color for the various elements.

Setting up if-clauses to only present textStyleRanges’ size etc. if they differ from the first letter’s should be no big problem, either.

Placing the texts beneath the respective textStyleRanges poses a problem, as their positions within the canvas are not immediately accessible.
Workarounds seem conceivable (possibly via »Create Work Path« or by recreating the text layer with other colors, but that would necessitate a more complete assessment of all type features, or by Color Range selection, but that could be tricky if a color is being used for several parts).

Maybe you should start a new thread to attract others’ attention.

Thanks for replying back.......

I'm not really good enough to append these Key functions to the code properly, , especially color .

If the position is not doable, what about atleast just displaying the different font styles as seperate font layers....I will then just manually move them to the appropriate place....

Can I get your help on atleast doing this?

Thx alot.

I have other work to do.
Maybe you can attract someone else’s attention better if you start a new thread.

Howdy,

No problem man and thank you for all your effort on this....I will try to get someone else to help me with this, maybe someone at my work.....Tried pinging PaulMR to help with this but seems like this is beyond his skills.....

Take care man and thanks again!

Tried pinging PaulMR to help with this but seems like this is beyond his skills.....
I very much doubt that, the task is of limited appeal though, I guess, if one does not work with text in Photoshop a lot.

For some reason, the more I look at text layers the less I know, as an example here is a PSD with three text layers.
If you select each layer in turn and run:-
alert(activeDocument.activeLayer.textItem.size);
Only one of the layers returns a size, the others error as there is no size key.

Just following up on this if anyOne can help me format this text script better.....greatly appreciate the help.

Hi pfaffenbichler and others who can help,

I found someone at work to help me with this but he has a question about something, below is his quote:
So, I'm stuck here. In your UltimateMeasure_blahblahblah.jsx on line 968 there is a loop that iterates through different fonts in the text layer. There are properties like

textStyle
from
to
fontPostScriptName

I cannot find information on what other properties exist on this object. I need something like 'from' property, but now it returns the number of letter in the text layer where the new font starts. But i need it in pixels. Can someone point me to the list of properties that exist on that object?

Updated by Bezzy Weitz (Magical Coder - a million thx for his time) & Mycort (GUI Artist & Idea Man)
Creators of functions 3 -> 7 (4/15/2012 - v0.05). Specifc code edits and additions include:
- 4 measures using "L"shaped selection
- 2 measures using crosshair selections
- 6 measures of inner/outer box
- Simultaneous Measure (Vert & Horiz -All at once)
- Arrow edge drawing (toggle function)
- Adding "var" section for easier editing of toggled functions
- Long extended edge line (8 point Detection Function)

Code snippets and advice help courtesy of (bb/)
- Working code for converting selection to paths to detect values of simultaneous measures
- Centering of labels/cut line
- Making the code faster with the addition of Script Listener
- In multiple measures mode, new function to link both lines/label together for easier movement
- Font analyzer, creation of text layer info, multiple selection

Great many thanks to Nikolaj Selvik, the developer who first and initially created this time saving tool.
