object or group resolves to False, the object or group is not displayed, regardless of whether the condition here
resolves to True or False.
l Condition to Exit and Overflow: Use this condition to manage data overflow. Set it the to number of iterations
after which this object should stop processing data from the current data page. When this condition becomes true, Plan-
etPress Design executes the remaining objects in the page and repeats the page until all the remaining data has been
processed.
Line Repeat (XML):
When using an XMLData file, the Line Repeat options change slightly. The "From line"and "To line"disappear, replaced by the
following options:
l XPath:Displays the current path to the XMLelement you are repeating on. Empty until the data selector has been
used to select an XMLvalue.
l From iteration:Enter the iteration of the XMLelement on which the repeat starts.
l To iteration:Enter the iteration at which the repeat stops. The value "0"means it will repeat until the last
XMLElement.
l Use Data Selector:Click to open the data selector and choose which element to repeat on.
l Do not overflow if last record reached:Select this option to prevent an overflow from occurring if you have
reached the last record.
Snapping Points
l Snap to previous object:Check to snap the object to the closest snapping point set in a previous object.
l Snapping point selection:Select one of the 9 positions to select where this object will snap to with the other
object's snapping point.
l Horizontal offset:Enter the horizontal distance you want to appear between this object's snapping point and
the snapping point of the object it snaps to.
l Vertical offset:Enter the vertical distance you want to appear between this object's snapping point and the
snapping point of the object it snaps to.
l Set snapping point:Check to set this object as a snapping point for the next object(s)that have the Snap to pre-
vious object option set.
Manipulation
l Scalable orientation: Define the axes along which you can resize the object/group when you click and drag the han-
dles on its bounding box or select it and use keyboard shortcuts to resize it. This does not prevent changes to the Height
and Width properties of the object/group using either the Object Inspector or the object’s/group’s properties dialog
box.
l Select Horizontal only to restrict resizing the object/group along the X axis.
l Select Vertical only to restrict resizing the object/group along the Y axis. Select Horizontal Vertical to permit
resizing along both the X and Y axes.
l Select None to prevent resizing along either the X or Y axis. If you use PlanetPress Talk code to define the
Angle, Height, Width, Top, or Left properties of an object/group, PlanetPress Design automatically sets Scalable
orientation to None, to prevent an inadvertent change to the PlanetPress Talk code due to a resize of the
object/group using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts.
l Movable orientation: Define the axes along which you can move the object/group when you click and drag it in the
Page area or select it and use keyboard shortcuts to move it. This does not prevent changes to the Left and Top prop-
erties of the object/group using either the Object Inspector or the object’s/group’s properties dialog box.
l Select Horizontal only to restrict moving the object/group along the X axis.
l Select Vertical only to restrict moving the object/group along the Y axis.
