CHAPTER 2: The Illustrator Scripting Object Model Text objects 23

To create a specific kind of text frame, use the kind property of the text frames object in AppleScript. The

JavaScript and VBScript

text frames objects contain specific methods for creating area text frames and

path text frames.

As in the Illustrator application, you can thread area or path text frames.

To thread existing text frames, use the

next frame or previous frame property of the text frame object.

Threaded frames make a single

story object.

For information on creating or threading text frames, see the chapter in this manual for your scripting

language.

Text geometry

While the three kinds of text frames have common characteristics, like orientation, each has

type-specific qualities, as reflected in the

text frame object’s properties. For example:

X An area text frame can have rows and columns, which you access through the row count and

column count properties.

X Path text has start T value and end T value properties that indicate where on the path the text

begins and ends.

X Area and path text frames are associated with a text path object, which is specified using the

text frame object’s text path property. The text path defines the text frame’s position and

orientation (horizontal or vertical) on the artboard (while the

text frame object’s orientation

property defines the orientation of text within the text frame).

The

text path property is not valid for point text, because point-text position and orientation are

defined completely by the properties of the text frame itself.

OTE: A text path is not the same as a path art item. Text paths are associated with path art items that can

be accessed and manipulated to modify the appearance of the associated text frame.

Objects that represent text content

Within a text frame or story, the actual text content can be accessed as any of the following objects:

X characters

X words

X paragraphs

X lines

line object is all the characters that fit on one line in a text frame or story object. All text-art items

have at least one line of text, defined as a

line object. Text art can have multiple text lines, if the text

contains hard line breaks or its characters flow to a new line because they do not fit in the width of the text

art. Text objects are accessed and identified by collections within the

text frame and story objects; for

example,

textFrame("My Text Frame").paragraphs or story("My Story").paragraphs.
