Measure value specifying the distance, in inches, to offset the top edge of the picture object, from the top edge of the doc-

ument page. If you set the snaptoprevious argument to a value other than 0, the value you set for the top argument becomes

the vertical offset for the Snap to previous snapping point.

left

Measure value specifying the distance, in inches, to offset the left edge of the picture object, from the left edge of the doc-

ument page. If you set the snaptoprevious argument to a value other than 0, the value you set for the left argument becomes

the horizontal offset for the Snap to previous snapping point.

width, height

Measure values specifying the width and height respectively, in inches, of the object.

condition

Boolean value, or PlanetPress Talk expression that resolves to a Boolean value, specifying a condition on the object.

angle

Measure value specifying the angle of rotation, in degrees. The pivot point for the rotation is the bottom left corner of the

object.

setsnappingpoint

Boolean value (True or False) specifying whether the object has its Set snapping point property set. If you set this argument to

True, the last line of the code for the object must be a moveto() command that moves the current point to the position at

which you want to set the object’s snapping point.

snaptoprevious

Integer value specifying whether the object has its Snap to previous property set, and if so, the position of that snapping point.

If you set the Snap to previous property, you can use the top and left arguments to specify, respectively, a vertical and hor-

izontal offset for the snapping point. 0 = do not set the Snap to previous snapping point, 1 = top left, 2 = top middle , 3= top

right 4= middle left, 5 = middle middle, 6= middle right 7 = bottom left, 8 = bottom middle, 9 = bottom right.

Code Sample Example

The following creates a rectangle object (2 inches wide by 3 inches high), rotates it 45 degrees, and sets its Snap to previous

snapping point at the top left of the object with a vertical offset of 1 inch and a horizontal offset of 1.5 inches.

Example

object $Box2(1.0,1.5,2.0,3.0,true,45.0,false,1)
