Is there a way, through scripting, to translate (move) anchors and handles?

The pathItem method translate(dx, dy) moves paths. Is there anything similar to move anchors and/or handles? After a quick google search, I suspect there isn't, but I would appretiate if someone can confirm this. Thanks in advance.

    Hi @femkeblanco,

    do you mean something like that?

     

    // anchorpoint move - and handles
// regards pixxxel_schubser

var aDoc = app.documents.add();
var Rect = aDoc.pathItems.rectangle(100, 100, 400, 400, false);
Rect.stroked = true;
Rect.filled = false;
redraw();
alert("Rectangle created");

Rect.pathPoints[0].anchor = Array(0,20);
redraw();
alert ("Point moved");

Rect.pathPoints[0].leftDirection = Array(300,300);
Rect.pathPoints[0].rightDirection = Array(0,200);
redraw();
alert("Handles changed");

Rect.selected = true;
redraw();

     

     

    If so, have fun

    😉

      Thank you very much for your reply. 

       

      I was thinking of moving the position (x, y) without knowing the position, by specifying the change (dx, dy).  Of course, I can add (dx, dy) to the position,

       

      var Rect = activeDocument.pathItems.rectangle(100, 100, 400, 400, false);
var dx = -300; var dy = 320;
redraw();
alert("Rectangle created");

Rect.pathPoints[0].anchor = [300 + dx, -300 + dy];
redraw();
alert ("Point moved");

       

      but then I would have to have known the position. 

       

      So I don't think that, for example, I can move the lower left anchor by 100 points downwards without knowing its position, can I? 

       

      On a separate, but related subject, I can't move selected points, can I?  So I don't think that, for example, I can select the lower left anchor (either manually or through scripting) and assign it a new (x, y) position, can I? 

       

      Again, thank you very much for your reply.
