Hi,

Trying to get familiar with javaScript coding for Photoshop. Reading the documents a lot.

However, quick question. Is there any good tutorial on how to create / draw a new simple rectangle to the document? In Illustrator I find it very easy, but only examples I find for Photoshop is to manually draw out a path with coordinates for each point. Maybe this is the way to go? Want to see if there's any easier way to go with a simple shape like a rectangle.

Thanks,

Mike

I've managed to figure it out using script listener. Great tool to extract actions in photoshop. It is a bit hard to read though.. but doable. Just need to spend some time cleaning it up. 🙂

In this case, the use of AM code is the right choice.

Hi @MikeCL-zZMTaZ,

you answered your question yourself - but it's still not clear.

What do you really want?

What is a rectangle in your opinion?

a selection
a selection filled with pixel contents
other (pixel) layers contents
a work path
an path saved in Paths Panel
a vector shape
the canvas
a frame border
and so on …

All of this can be done. With Javascript (Adobe ExtendScript) and/or Script Listener Code (Action-Manager-Code = AM-Code). But you always have to describe in detail what you really want. Otherwise you will always get no or wrong answers.

BTW screenshot before and after and/or sample files are very helpful.

Yeah.. you're right.. Sorry... It was about a rectangle live shape filled with a color I was after. So I used Javascript (extend script), and in this case, together with AM-Code extracted from the script listener. I will try and be more precise in my questions.. Thanks for pointing that out!
