GraphicLine Methods

Method Returns Description
addPath PageItem Create a new shape by adding the path(s) of this object with the paths of other objects. This method corresponds to the Add pathfinder.
bringForward Nothing Brings the object forward.
bringToFront Nothing Brings object to the front.
detach Nothing Detaches an overridden page item from the master page item.
duplicate PageItem Duplicates the object.
excludeOverlapPath PageItem Creates a new shape by excluding area of intersection of this object with the other objects. This method corresponds to the Exclude Overlap pathfinder.
exportFile Nothing Export the object to file.
extractLabel String Gets the content of the label associated with the specified key (name).
fit Nothing Applies fitting options to the content of a frame.
flipItem Nothing Flips the object around a specified axis.
getElements Array of Objects Resolve the object specifier.
insertLabel Nothing Sets the content of the label associated with the specified key (name), creating the label if it does not already exist.
intersectPath PageItem Create a new shape based on the area(s) of intersection between this object and the other objects. This method corresponds to the Intersect pathfinder.
makeCompoundPath PageItem Creates a compound path by adding the paths of this object to the paths of other objects.
markup Nothing Mark up layout content with XML preserving the existing content.
minusBack PageItem Creates a new shape by reverse subtracting this object from the specified other objects. This method corresponds to the Minus Back pathfinder.
move Nothing Move object to a new location. One of the parameters is required.
override PageItem, Guide, Graphic, Movie or Sound Overrides an item from the master page and places it on the page.
place PageItem, Graphic, Movie, Sound, Story or Text Places a file.

releaseCompoundPath Array of PageItems Releases a compound path and returns the released page items.
remove Nothing Delete the object.
removeOverride Nothing Removes a locally overridden master page item.
resetScaling Nothing Resets the scaling to 100%. Note that this does not change the size of the object; instead, it makes the current size of the object the basis for future scaling.
resize Nothing Resizes the object.
rotate Nothing Rotates the object.
select Nothing Selects the object.
sendBackward Nothing Send object backward.
sendToBack Nothing Send object to the back.
shear Nothing Shears the page item.
store Asset Stores the object in a library.
subtractPath PageItem Create a new shape by subtracting the area(s) of intersection of this object from the specified objects. This method corresponds to the Subtract pathfinder.
toSource String Generate JavaScript source that, if executed, will return the specified objects.
toSpecifier String Retrieve the object specifier.
transformAgain Array of Strings Repeats the last transformation.
transformAgainIndividually Array of Strings Transforms the object using the last transformation (applied individually).
