Resize Text Frame API

[Rahul_Rastogi]

Hi,

I have expertise with Adobe InDesign Plugin Development and recently started to develop Illustrator Plugins. I am using Illustrator CC 2020 on windows.

I need help on how to resize the text frame. I didn't find any direct API through which we can resize the text frame. Text frame is created using -

sAITextFrame->NewInPathText()

On searching the SDK, I only found alternative is to do Scaling Transformation with sAITransformArt->TransformArt().

But on doing Scaling Transformation, the text content also gets scaled which I don't want.

Can anyone help me with the API to resize the frame. Please find attached screenshot for your reference.

Any help is apprecitated.

I figured out myself. Posting the answer as it may help somebody -

We need to get the PathObject from Text frame and then manipulate the segments and anchor positions.
