[systems01h61704443]

Dear Friends,

     How to identify the text is point type or Area type?

     Pleae tell, Is there any aip function available for check text is point type or Area type.

Regards,

Hi Jayashree,

at a glance you will notice that area type will have a thread box:

point type does not.

Hi Grant_H,

    Thanks for your reply, We need to achieve it by c++ programming. Hence let me know any aip function availble for these process?

You can use AITextFrameSuite::GetType and you will get AITextType which can be one of the following:

kUnknownTextType
kPointTextType	Point text, defined by an anchor point for the position of the first character.
kInPathTextType	In-path text, an associated path object defines the area the text flows into.
kOnPathTextType	On-path text, an associated path object defines the area the text flows along.

This is a sample get FrameType  of TextFrame:

AIArtSpec specs[1] = { { kTextFrameArt,0,0 } };
SnpArtSetHelper textFrameArtSet(specs, 1);

AIArtHandle textFrameArt = textFrameArtSet[0];

TextFrameRef textFrameRef = NULL;
result = sAITextFrame->GetATETextFrame(textFrameArt, &textFrameRef);
ITextFrame textFrame(textFrameRef);
FrameType itype = textFrame.GetType();
if (itype == kPointTextType)
{
     //Point text
}
else if (itype == kInPathTextType)
{
     //Area text
}
else if (itype == kOnPathTextType )
{

}
