Capture Tallest Shape

Question

I am able to get the height of the full selection, but I am trying to get the height of the tallest shape in the selection. Where does my code snippet need to change?var maxHeight = 0;
// Capture Letter Height
for (var i = 0; i < doc.selection[i].height; i++) {
    if (doc.selection[i].height > maxHeight) { var maxHeight = doc.selection[i].height; };
  }
  var ltrHeight = maxHeight / 72; Thank you!

Hi @BryanPagenkopf

Assuming, you have expanded the text. Try the following version.

var maxHeight = 0;
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// Capture Letter Height
for (var i = 0; i < app.selection.length; i++) {
    var _item = app.selection[i];
    if (_item.height > maxHeight) {
        var maxHeight = _item.height;
    };
}
var ltrHeight = maxHeight / 72;

You probably need to add a Math.max() to your i so it only returns the tallest shape in the loop, not the cumulative values. Mylenium
