Script to FIT all layers inside the CIRCLE

Report · Apr 27, 2023

Hi!
I need a script that moves EVERY layer to canvas center and then will fit EVERY layer inside the circle with 140 px diameter, so if I rotate that layer it will never go outside circle with its edges.
I made it work for selected layer and have a trouble to loop it for every layer:
1. move layer to center
2. resize layer to 140 px
3. rotate -45 degree
4. check width and hight and resize if needed
5. rotate +45 degree
6. set levels (I need layers totally black in the end

How to make this work for every layer?

appendCoords(app.activeDocument)
function appendCoords() {
   // var m = theParent.layers.length - 1;
   // var theLayer = theParent.layers[m];
   // app.activeDocument.activeLayer = theLayer;
    var bounds = app.activeDocument.activeLayer.bounds;
    var selHeight = bounds[3].value - bounds[1].value;
    var selWidth = bounds[2].value - bounds[0].value;
    var selCenterX = (bounds[0].as('px') + bounds[2].as('px')) / 2; //coordinates in pixels
    var selCenterY = (bounds[1].as('px') + bounds[3].as('px')) / 2;
    var x = bounds[0].as('px');
    var y = bounds[1].as('px');
    var w = app.activeDocument.width.value;
    var h = app.activeDocument.height.value;
    var docCenterW = activeDocument.width.as("px") / 2;
    var docCenterH = activeDocument.height.as("px") / 2;
    var roundRadius = 140;


    //========move layer to center=========
    // Getting center coordinates of the document
    var docCenterW = activeDocument.width.as("px") / 2;
    var docCenterH = activeDocument.height.as("px") / 2;

    // getting values to translate the layer. 
    var deltaX = Math.round(docCenterW - (bounds[0].value + selWidth / 2));
    var deltaY = Math.round(docCenterH - (bounds[1].value + selHeight / 2));

    activeDocument.activeLayer.translate(deltaX, deltaY);

    //=====resize layer==== - if heigh/width>1 then change height else change width
    var startRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
    app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
    if (selHeight / selWidth > 1) {
        var newSize = (100 / selHeight) * roundRadius;
    } else {
        var newSize = (100 / selWidth) * roundRadius;
    }
        activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(newSize, newSize, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER); //resize biggest side
