| autoSizingReferencePoint | AutoSizingReferenceEnum:
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.TOP_LEFT_POINT
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.TOP_CENTER_POINT
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.TOP_RIGHT_POINT
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.LEFT_CENTER_POINT
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.CENTER_POINT
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.RIGHT_CENTER_POINT
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.BOTTOM_LEFT_POINT
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.BOTTOM_CENTER_POINT
AutoSizingReferenceEnum.BOTTOM_RIGHT_POINT |
r/w | The reference point for auto sizing of text frame. Reference point is automatically adjusted to the suitable value depending on the auto-sizing type value. As an example, top left reference point becomes top center for height only dimension |
| autoSizingType | AutoSizingTypeEnum:
AutoSizingTypeEnum.OFF
AutoSizingTypeEnum.HEIGHT_ONLY
AutoSizingTypeEnum.WIDTH_ONLY
AutoSizingTypeEnum.HEIGHT_AND_WIDTH
AutoSizingTypeEnum.HEIGHT_AND_WIDTH_PROPORTIONALLY |
r/w | Auto-sizing type of text frame. Based on type, reference value is automatically adjusted. For example, for height only type, top-left reference point becomes top-center. Recommended to change auto-sizing type, after setting other auto-sizing attributes |
| eventListeners | EventListeners EventListener |
readonly | A collection of event listeners. |
| events | Events Event |
readonly | A collection of events. |
| firstBaselineOffset | FirstBaseline:
FirstBaseline.ASCENT_OFFSET
FirstBaseline.CAP_HEIGHT
FirstBaseline.LEADING_OFFSET
FirstBaseline.EMBOX_HEIGHT
FirstBaseline.X_HEIGHT
FirstBaseline.FIXED_HEIGHT |
r/w | The distance between the baseline of the text and the top inset of the text frame or cell. |
| ignoreWrap | bool |
r/w | If true, ignores text wrap settings for drawn or placed objects in the text frame. |
| insetSpacing | Array of 4 Units (0 - 8640 points)
Unit (0 - 8640 points) |
r/w | The amount to offset text from the edges of the text frame, specified either as a single value applied uniformly to all sides of the text frame or as an array of 4 values in the format [top inset, left inset, bottom inset, right inset]. Can return: Unit (0 - 8640 points) or Array of 4 Units (0 - 8640 points). |
| isValid | bool |
readonly | Returns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects. |
| minimumFirstBaselineOffset | Measurement Unit (Number or String) (range: 0 - 8640) |
r/w | The minimum distance between the baseline of the text and the top inset of the text frame or cell. |
| minimumHeightForAutoSizing | Measurement Unit (Number or String) |
r/w | The minimum height for auto-sizing of the text frame. |
| minimumWidthForAutoSizing | Measurement Unit (Number or String) |
r/w | The minimum width for auto-sizing of the text frame. |
| parent | Application
Document
ObjectStyle
TextFrame |
readonly | The parent of the TextFramePreference (a Application, Document, TextFrame or ObjectStyle). |
| properties | Object |
r/w | A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time. |
| textColumnCount | number (range: 1 - 40) |
r/w | The number of columns in the text frame. Note: Depending on the value of use fixed column width, the number of columns can change automatically when the text frame size changes. |
| textColumnFixedWidth | Measurement Unit (Number or String) (range: 0 - 8640) |
r/w | The column width of the columns in the text frame. |
| textColumnGutter | Measurement Unit (Number or String) (range: 0 - 8640) |
r/w | The space between columns in the text frame. |
| textColumnMaxWidth | Measurement Unit (Number or String) (range: 0 - 8640) |
r/w | The maximum column width of the columns in the text frame. Use 0 to indicate no upper limit. |
| useFixedColumnWidth | bool |
r/w | If true, maintains column width when the text frame is resized. If false, causes columns to resize when the text frame is resized. Note: When true, resizing the frame can change the number of columns in the frame. |
| useFlexibleColumnWidth | bool |
r/w | If true, maintains column width between a min and max range when the text frame is resized. If false, causes columns to resize when the text frame is resized. Note: When true, resizing the frame can change the number of columns in the frame. |
| useMinimumHeightForAutoSizing | bool |
r/w | If true, minimum height value is used during the auto-sizing of text frame. |
| useMinimumWidthForAutoSizing | bool |
r/w | If true, minimum width value is used during the auto-sizing of text frame. |
| useNoLineBreaksForAutoSizing | bool |
r/w | If true, line-breaks are not introduced after auto sizing. |
| verticalBalanceColumns | bool |
r/w | Vertically justify balanced across all columns. |
| verticalJustification | VerticalJustification:
VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN
VerticalJustification.CENTER_ALIGN
VerticalJustification.BOTTOM_ALIGN
VerticalJustification.JUSTIFY_ALIGN |
r/w | The vertical alignment of the text content. |
| verticalThreshold | Measurement Unit (Number or String) (range: 0 - 8640) |
r/w | The maximum amount of vertical space between two paragraphs. Note: Valid only when vertical justification is justified; the specified amount is applied in addition to the space before or space after values defined for the paragraph. |
