Simpler way to draw a circle with scripting

[mimozemská hůl]

Hello

Is there a simpler way to create circle shape with scripting instead using the long generated code(extracted from xbytor tool) below:

function Circle() {
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref1 = new ActionReference();
    ref1.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("contentLayer"));
    desc1.putReference(charIDToTypeID('null'), ref1);
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc4.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Rd  '), 255);
    desc4.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Grn '), 255);
    desc4.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Bl  '), 255);
    desc3.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Clr '), stringIDToTypeID("RGBColor"), desc4);
    desc2.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Type'), stringIDToTypeID("solidColorLayer"), desc3);
    var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc5.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("unitValueQuadVersion"), 1);
    desc5.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Top '), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 124);
    desc5.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Left'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 164);
    desc5.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Btom'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 268);
    desc5.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Rght'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 308);
    desc2.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Shp '), charIDToTypeID('Elps'), desc5);
    var desc6 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc6.putInteger(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleVersion"), 2);
    desc6.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("strokeEnabled"), false);
    desc6.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("fillEnabled"), true);
    desc6.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineWidth"), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 1);
    desc6.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineDashOffset"), charIDToTypeID('#Pnt'), 0);
    desc6.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleMiterLimit"), 100);
    desc6.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineCapType"), stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineCapType"), stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleButtCap"));
    desc6.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineJoinType"), stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineJoinType"), stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleRoundJoin"));
    desc6.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineAlignment"), stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineAlignment"), stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleAlignCenter"));
    desc6.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleScaleLock"), false);
    desc6.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleStrokeAdjust"), false);
    var list1 = new ActionList();
    desc6.putList(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleLineDashSet"), list1);
    desc6.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleBlendMode"), charIDToTypeID('BlnM'), charIDToTypeID('Nrml'));
    desc6.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleOpacity"), charIDToTypeID('#Prc'), 100);
    var desc7 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc8.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Rd  '), 0);
    desc8.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Grn '), 0);
    desc8.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Bl  '), 0);
    desc7.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Clr '), stringIDToTypeID("RGBColor"), desc8);
    desc6.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleContent"), stringIDToTypeID("solidColorLayer"), desc7);
    desc6.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyleResolution"), 72);
    desc2.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyle"), stringIDToTypeID("strokeStyle"), desc6);
    desc1.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Usng'), stringIDToTypeID("contentLayer"), desc2);
    desc1.putInteger(charIDToTypeID('LyrI'), 53);
    executeAction(charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc1, DialogModes.NO);
  };

Thank you,

Damian

I do not know if there is a simpler way.  I do  know that  function that is scriptlistener's logged action manager code is not a function I would use it is fixed like an action step..  You can not pass  parameters like origin, radius, color fill blend etc.

[JJMack]

If you search this forum you should be able to find a "Clean SL.jsx" Photoshop script that can help you process your scriptlistemer log and clean the code, Create Javascript Photoshop functions that are more usable you will be able to pass parameters.

Clean SL is a must have script for dummies like myself...

r-bin is not a dummy he know how to code action manager code not only to execute action steps like scriptliste he knows how the retrieve results of Photoshop command execution,

Remove unnecessary parameters

function Circle() {
    var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref1 = new ActionReference();
    ref1.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("contentLayer"));
    desc1.putReference(charIDToTypeID('null'), ref1);
    var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
    var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc4.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Rd  '), 255);
    desc4.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Grn '), 255);
    desc4.putDouble(charIDToTypeID('Bl  '), 255);
    desc3.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Clr '), stringIDToTypeID("RGBColor"), desc4);
    desc2.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Type'), stringIDToTypeID("solidColorLayer"), desc3);
    var desc5 = new ActionDescriptor();
    desc5.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Top '), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 124);
    desc5.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Left'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 164);
    desc5.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Btom'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 268);
    desc5.putUnitDouble(charIDToTypeID('Rght'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), 308);
    desc2.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Shp '), charIDToTypeID('Elps'), desc5);
    desc1.putObject(charIDToTypeID('Usng'), stringIDToTypeID("contentLayer"), desc2);
    executeAction(charIDToTypeID('Mk  '), desc1, DialogModes.NO);
  };

UPD.

Or

// create path
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("path"), stringIDToTypeID("workPath"));
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();
d1.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("top"), stringIDToTypeID("pixelsUnit"),    200);
d1.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("left"), stringIDToTypeID("pixelsUnit"),   400);
d1.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("bottom"), stringIDToTypeID("pixelsUnit"), 500);
d1.putUnitDouble(stringIDToTypeID("right"), stringIDToTypeID("pixelsUnit"),  700);
d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("ellipse"), d1);
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);


// create fill layer
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
var r = new ActionReference();
r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID("contentLayer"));
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
var d1 = new ActionDescriptor();
var d2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var d3 = new ActionDescriptor();
d3.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("red"),   100);
d3.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("green"), 150);
d3.putDouble(stringIDToTypeID("blue"),  200);
d2.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("color"), stringIDToTypeID("RGBColor"), d3);
d1.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("type"), stringIDToTypeID("solidColorLayer"), d2);
d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("using"), stringIDToTypeID("contentLayer"), d1);
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("make"), d, DialogModes.NO);

Thank you JJMack and r-bin you both have very helpful information and that is why I have chosen two correct answers.
