How to get width of stroke shape layer

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

i need to get width of stroke solid layer (shape) in alert .. and thanks very much 

[macpawel]

You can use Properties panel to check these infos but if you need an alert you should use script

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

yes i need to use script to make this .. you can help me ?

[JJMack]

To get the stroke information you most likely need to use Action manager code to get that information about a shape layer. You can get much information about layers using Action manager code.  I do not know how to code Action Manager code.  Users like Super Merlin and R-bin do.  I normally copy code they post. For I do not know JavaScript either. Here I used some of their code to see what may be possibles.  Action Descriptor 36 AGMStrokeStyleInfo may be what your are after.

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

very good .. can you  write the script  here ?

[JJMack]

That for you to do as I wrote I do not know how to code Action Manager code DOM code do not cover all of Photoshop features. I just hack at scripting.... I have not Idea how to ger or use the Action Descriptor 36 AGMStrokeStyleInfo information

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

can you write script to get stroke width of current artlayer ?

[JJMack]

Here is a Hack I have for looking at layer info.  Any executeActionGet() code you see I got from searching or help from Super Merlin or R-bin

// 2019, use it at your own risk;
var theLayers = collectLayers ();
alert (theLayers.join("\n"));
////// collect layers //////
function collectLayers () {
	// the file;
	var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
	// get number of layers;
	var ref = new ActionReference();
	ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
	var applicationDesc = executeActionGet(ref);
	var theNumber = applicationDesc.getInteger(stringIDToTypeID("numberOfLayers"));
    //Extendscript seems to had LayerKind index in this order.

You can Mix DOM and Action Manager  code.  AM layerKind and DOM LayerKind differ  Using AM  you can filter Shape layer and get their ID and with the Layer ID yoy can use DOM code to see what kind of fill layer ther are.  However Shape that has not fill seem to show the har one of the filltype perhaps is has but its visibility or fill is set to 0.

Address the layer stack via  DOM code requires recursion. Here a Hack

i just need to display a width of stroke in alert 

[r-bin · Accepted solution]

var r = new ActionReference();    
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
alert(executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo")).getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineWidth")));

P.S. Does not work in CS6

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

you are greatest man in this site .. very thanks from egypt to you 

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

The script works done but, although there was no stroke ... i need to change alert to ("no stroke") .. if the shape don`t containt strokes

[greless]

If you want to get the strokes state：

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
alert(executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo")).getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("strokeEnabled")));

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

it`s just display true and false 

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

i need if true display width of stroke but if false show alert no stroke

[greless]

ou need to combine it with r-bin code

[skillful_WhirlwindB82C]

how can i make this ? 

[JJMack]

There will be a stroke width 0 to perhaps some limit. And it will either be enabled or not.  How you want to show this is up to you. Code the alert anyway you want. Show Both or if stroke is enabled show width else show no stroke. Both may look line this.

var r = new ActionReference();    
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));
alert(executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo")).getUnitDoubleValue(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineWidth")) + "  " +
      executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("AGMStrokeStyleInfo")).getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("strokeEnabled")) );
