Text Script Formatting Question

mycort · Post by **mycort** » Fri Sep 21, 2012 11:18 pm

I'm just making a separate and new thread here since the other one was just too big..

I had a programmer friend at work help me figure this out but he got stuck and has a question about something, I hope someone can answer. Below is his question:

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?

Code:
Code: Select all /*

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.
- Original creator of functions 1 & 2 (Horizontal & vertical "single" selection)
- Uncentered Label
- Line edge drawing

Just following up on this....can anyone help with this question or at the very least shed some light to a solution?

I think the reason no one has posted an answer if because in your other thread about this it was pointed out that there really isn't a good way to tell where on layer a text range is( unless it is the first range ).

As suggested in that thread, you could load the text as a path. Then you could try to find the position by counting subpaths. But that doesn't convert spaces, tabs, etc into subpaths so unless the text only has single spaces between words the position would be off.

Thanks Mike, didn't realize that the answer was already posted in the other thread.

My friend can't seem to get the text color feature of this code to work, he used this:

Key 14 = color: DescValueType.OBJECTTYPE

Anyone can help to get color to work?
