Hi Guys,

I want to measure imported ".eps" file and measurement geometricBounds values for the frame?

I tried the below code:

var t = app.selection[0];  
var matchedImage = File.openDialog("Select Inline Math ", "Eps:*.eps*", false);
var Eqnname=matchedImage.name; //get name of the selected file name
var imageframe= t.place(matchedImage);
var frame=activeFrame.geometricBounds[2];

Please help me.

Thanks,

Arun B

What is "activeFrame"? You cannot make up any property name you want and hope it works, Javascript does not work that way.

Per the documentation, "place" returns an array – because you can place multiple files at once. The objects are the images; each one's parent is the container frame. That haa the proper size you are looking for.

Hi,

If you have the name and you want to select i through script, the best plan is to use the links.

from the document object you will be able to get all the links used in the document, then you can cycle through all the links until you find the one you want, you can use that to find the page item, which would lead to the page item which would allow you to get the geometric bounds, although this would be of the object placed in InDesign, not necessarily the size of the actual object.

Hope this helps

Hi,

the gemoetric bounds are an array : from the documentation.

geometricBounds

Array of Number

Array of String

read/write

The bounds of the Graphic excluding the stroke width, in the format [y1, x1, y2, x2], which give the coordinates of the top-left and bottom-right corners of the bounding box.

using this you should be able to work out the height or width of the frame.

Regards

I need to select the imported file. I can't select.

After that it will measure the values.

First i need to select the imported imaged from open dialogue?
