Draw line and and text frame

[Kenji85]

I need to draw a line and text frame using sdk, which suite should I look into???

You'll need AIArt.h & AIPath.h to draw your line. Text -- assuming you're working with CS or later -- is handled using the ATE which you can access via ATESuites.h for suite pointers or IText.hpp for C++ objects that wrap the API. I should warn you that both the of the latter have a LOT of suites or objects in them; they're not divvied up nicely at all; just all lumped together.

Is there any example which I can refer to because I am very new in this. thanks

TextTest & Twirl in the samplecode have text & path examples respectively. Note that Twirl is doing some funky things with matrices, and only uses the path stuff to get & put the resultant lines, but that should give you an idea. Twirl.cpp's twirl_path() is what you want (there are two functions with the same name, so check them both)
