get top-right coords of a layer

[defaultykn6xpi44y43]

Hello,

@r-bin created function to get the top-left coords, how to reverse it and have the top-right coords?

Here is the function:

function get_layer_bounds(layer){

    try{
        if (layer.kind == LayerKind.SMARTOBJECT){
			
            var layer0 = activeDocument.activeLayer;
            activeDocument.activeLayer = layer;
            var r = new ActionReference();
            r.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " ), charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" ), charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" ) );
            var d = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("smartObjectMore")).getList(stringIDToTypeID("transform"));
            var x = [d.getDouble(0), d.getDouble(2), d.getDouble(4), d.getDouble(6)];
            var y = [d.getDouble(1), d.getDouble(3), d.getDouble(5), d.getDouble(7)];
           
            var l = [Math.min(x[0], Math.min(x[1], Math.min(x[2], x[3]))) ];
            var r = [Math.max(x[0], Math.max(x[1], Math.max(x[2], x[3]))) ];
            var t = [Math.min(y[0], Math.min(y[1], Math.min(y[2], y[3]))) ];
            var b = [Math.max(y[0], Math.max(y[1], Math.max(y[2], y[3]))) ];

            activeDocument.activeLayer = layer0;
            return [ UnitValue(l,"px"), UnitValue(t,"px"), UnitValue(r,"px"), UnitValue(b,"px") ];
			
        } else
            return layer.boundsNoEffects;
        }
    catch (e) { alert(e); }
}

Thanks you

function getCoordinates(topleft){
    var bounds = app.activeDocument.selection.bounds

    var coordinates = {
        topleft: [bounds[0],bounds[1]],
        bottomright: [bounds[2],bounds[3]]
    }
    return topleft ? coordinates.topleft : coordinates.bottomright;
}

alert("top left coordinates: "+getCoordinates(true));
alert("bottom right coordinates: "+getCoordinates(false));

Here's some samplec code that will do what you want. Hope it helps you.

Hello,

I need top-right already have the top-left coords with the function, thanks you

Why don’t you combine the y and the x coordinates you want yourself? 

[Jef Bracke]

Using my function that would be a combination of bounds[0] & bounds[3].

You can do it! 🙂

function get_bound(layer){ 

    //return top-right position
    var position = [layer.bounds[2].value,layer.bounds[1].value]; 

    return position;
}

Maybe x[1] and y[1]?

If still relevant, then

I did not understand the question.

It seems like the function returns an array from [right, top, left, bottom].

What does top-left and top-right have to do with?

What do you want to use this function for?

Please attach a screenshot with the explanations.
