B! command description

Description: This command creates an image frame (a polygon or a composition of polygons) in a page of a document. The box may be placed in absolute, relative or anchored in an existing box.

Syntax: [ B! =  Block#  ;  HPos  ;  VPos  ;  Width  ;  Height  ;  NbPaths  ;  NbPointsN  ;  IsClosedN  ;  XPosNLeftAnchorK  ;  VPosNLeftAnchorK  ;  XPosNMiddleAnchorK  ;  VPosNMiddleAnchorK  ;  XPosNRightAnchorK  ;  VPosNRightAnchorK  ;  "FileName"  ;  HorOffset  ;  VerOffset  ;  HorScale  ;  VerScale  ;  BackColor  ;  BackTint  ;  Angle  ;  CornerRadius  ;  Type  ;  Anchored  ;  AnchorBlock  ;  Relative  ;  Reference  ;  Alignment  ;  AnchorCell (InDesign only)    ]

Block#
Integer 		• Reference of the new image frame
     
HPos
Picas/Points 		• Horizontal position of the frame
     
VPos
Picas/Points 		• Vertical position of the frame
     
Width
Picas/Points 		  Not used
     
Height
Picas/Points 		  Not used
     
NbPaths
Integer 		  Number of polygons in the frame
     
NbPointsN
Integer 		  Number of points in the Nth polygone of the frame
     
IsClosedN
Boolean 		  TRUE if the Nth path is closed, FALSE if it's open
     
XPosNLeftAnchorK
Points/tenths 		• Horizontale position of the Kth left anchor point of the Nth polygon
     
VPosNLeftAnchorK
Points/tenths 		• Vertical position of the Kth left anchor point of the Nth polygon
     
XPosNMiddleAnchorK
Points/tenths 		• Horizontal position of the Kth middle anchor point of the Nth polygon
     
VPosNMiddleAnchorK
Points/tenths 		• Vertical position of the Kth middle anchor point of the Nth polygon
     
XPosNRightAnchorK
Points/tenths 		• Horizontal position of the Kth right anchor point of the Nth polygon
     
VPosNRightAnchorK
Points/tenths 		• Vertical position of the Kth right anchor point of the Nth polygon
     
"FileName"
String 		  Name of the image file to import. If empty, no import is done.
     
HorOffset
Picas/Points 		 
     
VerOffset
Picas/Points 		 
     
HorScale
Percent 		 
     
VerScale

CornerRadius
Points/tenths 		 
     
Type
Integer 		 
     
Anchored
Boolean 		 
     
AnchorBlock
Integer 		 
     
Relative
Boolean 		 
     
Reference
Integer 		 
     
Alignment
Integer 		 
     
AnchorCell (InDesign only)
Boolean 		 
     

Note: See [BI] command for parameter description, since they are identical from "FileName".
