How to obtain the horizontal flip, vertical flip, line spacing, and letter spacing of the text layer in the psd file through script or .net

[javaer]

What I want to get most is the flipped state。The red rectangle shows the flipped text. How to get the flipped status?

Please provide the sample file. 

And are you sure it’s flipped and not rotated 180˚?

With »A« it’s hard to tell. 

Edit: Sorry, I hadn’t perused the screenshot fully.

I don't think there are any flip statuses.

They're just buttons.

A horizontal flip simply reverses the sign of xx and yx,

and a vertical flip reverses the sign of xy and yy.

[javaer]

Can the flip state be calculated from the values of xy and yy? Or there are other ways

You can try it this way

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("textKey"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

var tkey = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("textKey"));

var xx = 1;
var xy = 0;
var yx = 0;
var yy = 1;
var tx = 0;
var ty = 0;
          
if (tkey.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID("transform")))
    {
    xx = tkey.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("transform")).getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("xx"));
    xy = tkey.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("transform")).getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("xy"));
    yx = tkey.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("transform")).getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("yx"));
    yy = tkey.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("transform")).getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("yy"));
    tx = tkey.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("transform")).getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("tx")); 
    ty = tkey.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("transform")).getDouble(stringIDToTypeID("ty")); 
    }    

var W = xx/Math.cos(Math.atan2(xy,xx))*100;

var H = (xx*yy-xy*yx)/(xx/Math.cos(Math.atan2(xy,xx)))*100;

var A = Math.atan2(xy,xx)*180.0/Math.PI;

var S = (Math.atan2(yx,yy)+Math.atan2(xy,xx))*180.0/Math.PI;

if (S < 0)   S += 360;
if (S > 180) S -= 180;
if (S > 90)  S -= 180;

var fliped_H = xx<0;
var fliped_V = yy<0;

if (fliped_H && fliped_V) fliped_H = fliped_V = false; 


alert("Matrix:\n"+
xx.toFixed(2) + "  " + yx.toFixed(2) + "\n" + xy.toFixed(2) + "  " + yy.toFixed(2) + "\n\n" +
"W = " + W.toFixed(1) + "\nH = " + H.toFixed(1) + "\n\nA = " + A.toFixed(2) + "\nS = " + S.toFixed(1) + "\n\n" +
"fliped_H = "+fliped_H + "\nfliped_V = "+fliped_V);

To achieve these effects in Adobe Photoshop:

1. Horizontal Flip: Select the text layer, then go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal.

2. Vertical Flip: Similarly, select the text layer, then go to Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical.

3. Line Spacing: To adjust line spacing, go to Window > Character to open the Character panel. Adjust the "Leading" option, which controls the spacing between lines of text.

4. Letter Spacing: With the text layer selected, go to Window > Character to open the Character panel. Adjust the "Tracking" option, which controls the spacing between individual letters.

These options allow you to manipulate text layers in various ways to achieve the desired effects.

I hope to get these status values through script instead of operating on the interface.
