Circle in new Layer Javascript

[Ballestero]

Hello, i´m using photoshop CS6, i need a javascript code to create a 6mm circle with a white fill color and a 1px black stroke, all this aligned to center in a new layer.

Is it possible?

[JJMack]

Why not simply record a action it would be easy and faster than a script. And recorded in a couple of minuets?

Thank you very much!!!

You're welcome.

Here is a little more better code - now you can insert diameter instead of radius and I've implemented suggestion of c.pfaffenbichler​

createCircle (6); // insert diameter value
function createCircle(dia) {
  function cTID(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
  function sTID(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
    rad = new UnitValue( dia, 'mm' ).as( 'px' )/2;
    aDoc = activeDocument;
    w2 = aDoc.width.as( 'px' )/2;
    h2 = aDoc.height.as( 'px' )/2;
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref2 = new ActionReference();
        ref2.putClass( sTID('contentLayer') );
    desc2.putReference( cTID('null'), ref2 );
        var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
            var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
                var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();
                desc5.putDouble( cTID('Rd  '), 255 );
                desc5.putDouble( cTID('Grn '), 0 );
                desc5.putDouble( cTID('Bl  '), 0 );
            desc4.putObject( cTID('Clr '), cTID('RGBC'), desc5 );
        desc3.putObject( cTID('Type'), sTID('solidColorLayer'), desc4 );
            var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();
            desc6.putInteger( sTID('unitValueQuadVersion'), 1 );
            desc6.putUnitDouble( cTID('Top '), cTID('#Pxl'), h2-rad );
            desc6.putUnitDouble( cTID('Left'), cTID('#Pxl'), w2-rad );
            desc6.putUnitDouble( cTID('Btom'), cTID('#Pxl'), h2+rad );
            desc6.putUnitDouble( cTID('Rght'), cTID('#Pxl'), h2+rad );
        desc3.putObject( cTID('Shp '), cTID('Elps'), desc6 );
            var desc7 = new ActionDescriptor();
            desc7.putInteger( sTID('strokeStyleVersion'), 2 );
            desc7.putBoolean( sTID('strokeEnabled'), true );
            desc7.putBoolean( sTID('fillEnabled'), true );
            desc7.putUnitDouble( sTID('strokeStyleLineWidth'), cTID('#Pxl'), 1 );
            desc7.putUnitDouble( sTID('strokeStyleLineDashOffset'), cTID('#Pnt'), 0 );
            desc7.putDouble( sTID('strokeStyleMiterLimit'), 100 );
            desc7.putEnumerated( sTID('strokeStyleLineCapType'), sTID('strokeStyleLineCapType'), sTID('strokeStyleButtCap') );
            desc7.putEnumerated( sTID('strokeStyleLineJoinType'), sTID('strokeStyleLineJoinType'), sTID('strokeStyleMiterJoin') );
            desc7.putEnumerated( sTID('strokeStyleLineAlignment'), sTID('strokeStyleLineAlignment'), sTID('strokeStyleAlignInside') );
            desc7.putBoolean( sTID('strokeStyleScaleLock'), false );
            desc7.putBoolean( sTID('strokeStyleStrokeAdjust'), false );
                var list1 = new ActionList();
            desc7.putList( sTID('strokeStyleLineDashSet'), list1 );
            desc7.putEnumerated( sTID('strokeStyleBlendMode'), cTID('BlnM'), cTID('Nrml') );
            desc7.putUnitDouble( sTID('strokeStyleOpacity'), cTID('#Prc'), 100 );
                var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();
                    var desc9 = new ActionDescriptor();
                    desc9.putDouble( cTID('Rd  '), 0 );
                    desc9.putDouble( cTID('Grn '), 0 );
                    desc9.putDouble( cTID('Bl  '), 0 );
                desc8.putObject( cTID('Clr '), cTID('RGBC'), desc9 );
            desc7.putObject( sTID('strokeStyleContent'), sTID('solidColorLayer'), desc8 );
            desc7.putDouble( sTID('strokeStyleResolution'), 72 );
        desc3.putObject( sTID('strokeStyle'), sTID('strokeStyle'), desc7 );
    desc2.putObject( cTID('Usng'), sTID('contentLayer'), desc3 );
    desc2.putInteger( cTID('LyrI'), 2 );
    executeAction( cTID('Mk  '), desc2, DialogModes.NO );
};

Have fun

Hi Ballestero​,

do you mean pixel? Or vector?

I prefer vector. Here is an example:

createCircle (3);
function createCircle(dia) {
  function cTID(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); };
  function sTID(s) { return app.stringIDToTypeID(s); };
    dia = new UnitValue( dia, 'mm' ).as( 'px' );
    aDoc = activeDocument;
    w2 = aDoc.width.as( 'px' )/2;
    h2 = aDoc.height.as( 'px' )/2;
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref2 = new ActionReference();
        ref2.putClass( sTID('contentLayer') );
    desc2.putReference( cTID('null'), ref2 );
        var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
            var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
                var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();
                desc5.putDouble( cTID('Rd  '), 255 );
                desc5.putDouble( cTID('Grn '), 0 );
                desc5.putDouble( cTID('Bl  '), 0 );
            desc4.putObject( cTID('Clr '), cTID('RGBC'), desc5 );
        desc3.putObject( cTID('Type'), sTID('solidColorLayer'), desc4 );
            var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();
            desc6.putInteger( sTID('unitValueQuadVersion'), 1 );
            desc6.putUnitDouble( cTID('Top '), cTID('#Pxl'), h2-dia );
            desc6.putUnitDouble( cTID('Left'), cTID('#Pxl'), w2-dia );
            desc6.putUnitDouble( cTID('Btom'), cTID('#Pxl'), h2+dia );
            desc6.putUnitDouble( cTID('Rght'), cTID('#Pxl'), h2+dia );
        desc3.putObject( cTID('Shp '), cTID('Elps'), desc6 );
            var desc7 = new ActionDescriptor();
            desc7.putInteger( sTID('strokeStyleVersion'), 2 );
            desc7.putBoolean( sTID('strokeEnabled'), true );
            desc7.putBoolean( sTID('fillEnabled'), true );
            desc7.putUnitDouble( sTID('strokeStyleLineWidth'), cTID('#Pnt'), 1 );
            desc7.putUnitDouble( sTID('strokeStyleLineDashOffset'), cTID('#Pnt'), 0 );
            desc7.putDouble( sTID('strokeStyleMiterLimit'), 100 );
            desc7.putEnumerated( sTID('strokeStyleLineCapType'), sTID('strokeStyleLineCapType'), sTID('strokeStyleButtCap') );
            desc7.putEnumerated( sTID('strokeStyleLineJoinType'), sTID('strokeStyleLineJoinType'), sTID('strokeStyleMiterJoin') );
            desc7.putEnumerated( sTID('strokeStyleLineAlignment'), sTID('strokeStyleLineAlignment'), sTID('strokeStyleAlignInside') );
            desc7.putBoolean( sTID('strokeStyleScaleLock'), false );
            desc7.putBoolean( sTID('strokeStyleStrokeAdjust'), false );
                var list1 = new ActionList();
            desc7.putList( sTID('strokeStyleLineDashSet'), list1 );
            desc7.putEnumerated( sTID('strokeStyleBlendMode'), cTID('BlnM'), cTID('Nrml') );
            desc7.putUnitDouble( sTID('strokeStyleOpacity'), cTID('#Prc'), 100 );
                var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();
                    var desc9 = new ActionDescriptor();
                    desc9.putDouble( cTID('Rd  '), 0 );
                    desc9.putDouble( cTID('Grn '), 0 );
                    desc9.putDouble( cTID('Bl  '), 0 );
                desc8.putObject( cTID('Clr '), cTID('RGBC'), desc9 );
            desc7.putObject( sTID('strokeStyleContent'), sTID('solidColorLayer'), desc8 );
            desc7.putDouble( sTID('strokeStyleResolution'), 72 );
        desc3.putObject( sTID('strokeStyle'), sTID('strokeStyle'), desc7 );
    desc2.putObject( cTID('Usng'), sTID('contentLayer'), desc3 );
    desc2.putInteger( cTID('LyrI'), 2 );
    executeAction( cTID('Mk  '), desc2, DialogModes.NO );
};

The line

1.             desc7.putUnitDouble( sTID('strokeStyleLineWidth'), cTID('#Pnt'), 1 ); 

is responsible for a 1pt Stroke, but if 1px is intended one merely needs to change the unit.
