BridgePlus.framework, SMSForder Class Methods

Miscellaneous methods

Method

Summary

This returns a record containing the entire path and *path type* value for a bezier, in a format suitable for use in Adobe InDesign. After converting to a record you can use it directly -- for example: "set properties of path 1 of page item x to theRecord". The bezier should consist of a single unbroken path.

Because InDesign's vertical coordinates run from top to bottom, angles are rotated 180 degrees.

Signature

Parameters

theBezier = an NSBezierPath

Result

Dictionary/record for Adobe InDesign path

Availability

Version 1.2.0

Notes

Sample

use scripting additions

use framework "Foundation"

use script "BridgePlus"

load framework

set theNSBezierPath to current application's NSBezierPath's bezierPath()

set theVals to {10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 60}

set theTotal to item 1 of (current application's SMSForder's sumMaxMinOf:theVals |error|:(missing value)) as list

set startDeg to -90

set theCentre to {200, 200}

set theRadius to 100

repeat with aVal in theVals

set endDeg to startDeg + aVal / theTotal * 360

set theNSBezierPath to current application's NSBezierPath's bezierPath()

(theNSBezierPath's appendBezierPathWithArcWithCenter:theCentre radius:theRadius startAngle:startDeg endAngle:endDeg)

(theNSBezierPath's lineToPoint:theCentre)

theNSBezierPath's closePath()

set startDeg to endDeg

set idProps to (current application's SMSForder's bezierForID:theNSBezierPath) as record
