Find image Vertices

[vasanthakumar L]

Hi Guys,

How to export image vertices data (each x=?, y=?)? Here I attached the image this explain exactly what i want.

Thanks,

Hit Cmd + T to get the transform controls. The control bar up at the top will have the x and y values.

You may have to explain what you really mean.

Do you rotate/otherwise transform Layers/Smart Objects/Shapes/… and in which form do you need the coordinates afterwards?

By default Photoshop files’ zero-point is the upper left corner by the way.

Hi pfaffenbichler,

Thanks.

I want to know about the exact x, y positions of every break points. These values should be given to the scripting side. When i export the trimmed image (png image) its appear square or rectangle shape, because i can't export exact shape of that specified object. So i need to tell every vetice points x,y positions. Here i attached the sample image.

So you are talking about Paths with corner points without Bezier handles?

Are there multiple Paths or inly ever one per image?

Getting PathPoint information can be done with a Script as well as creating a txt- or some other file, you may want to ask for help over at

Thanks for your reply.

Exactly! I want photoshop scripting for generate values of path position.

Thanks

Great Thanks!

By the way: That Script only processes the last Path in the Paths Panel (because if a Shape Layer is selected its Vector Mask appears at the end of the list), if

• there are more than one Path or

• you want the active Path or

• …

you may have to adapt the Script.
