Syntax: [ FV =  Block#  ;  HPos  ;  VPos  ;  RuleWidth  ;  Depth  ;  Type  ;  RuleColor  ;  RuleTint  ;  Relative  ;  Ref  ;  Alignment  ;  ArrowType  ;  StrokeAlignment    ]


Block#
Integer
Rule Number (1000-1990).
     
HPos
Picas/Points
Horizontal Position.
     
VPos
Picas/Points
Vertical Position
     
RuleWidth
Points/Tenths
  Rule width
     
Depth
Picas/Points
Rule depth.
     
Type
Integer
  Rule type. 0-> plain 1-> dashed 2-> thin-thin 3-> thick-thick 4-> line-dash 5-> dotted 6-> thin-thick 7-> thick-thin 8-> thin-thick-thin 9-> thick-thin-thick 10-> triple
     
RuleColor
Integer
  Color of the rule.\r \t0->White, \t1->Blue,\t2->Cyan,\t3->Yellow, \t4->Magenta,\t5->Black,\t6->Registration, \t7->Red, 8->Green. 9->None If the value is >= 10, PageMakeUp will use the internal color table. (see [dc] command).
     
RuleTint
Percent
  Rule Tint (0-100%).
     
Relative
Boolean
  TRUE = Parameter Ref is a block number. In this case, the coordinates are relative to the block. FALSE = Parameter Ref is the number of the page in which the rule will be created. The coordinates are relative to the page.
     
Ref
Integer
  Number of the page in which the rule will be created (1-128). 0 = current page. (relative = FALSE) Number of the reference block. -1 = current block. (relative = TRUE)
     
Alignment
Integer
  In relative mode, this option allows the alignment on the bottom of the reference block instead of the top of the border or at the current cursor position. 0-> top of the block 1-> bottom of the bloc 2-> current cursor position
     
ArrowType
Integer
  Type of the arrows at the ends of the rule. 0-> none 1-> right 2-> left 3-> pen right 4-> pen left 5-> double arrow
     
StrokeAlignment
Integer
  Stroke alignment : 0 -> center 1 -> inside 2 -> outside
     


Note: The parameter "ArrowType" is unavailable in the Adobe PageMaker version.


Example: [fv = 2; 3; 2,5; 10; 0; 1; 100; TRUE; 4] Create a plain blue rule with a tint of 100%. The rule is related on block 4. It is 2 cm from the left left side and 3 cm from top of block 4. The rule is 2,5 points wide and 10 cm height. [fv=1; ... ; false ; 0] Vertical line, absolute position, current page. [fv=2; ... ; false; 3] Vertical line, absolute position, page #3 [fv=3; ... ; true; 0] Vertical line, position relative to block#0 [fv=4; ... ; true; 3; true] Vertical line, position relative to the bottom of bloc #3 [fv=5; ... ; true, -1] Vertical line, position relative to the current bloc
