I should add (since I'm already filling everyone's Inboxes today) that,
in addition to using the standard "hundredths of points" units (7200 =
one inch), you can also specify the size-type properties of the
FusionProTextMeasure object, such as the maxWidth property, as string
values with a unit specification. For example, the following are
equivalent:
var tm = new FusionProTextMeasure;
tm.maxWidth = 7200;
tm.maxWidth = "72 pt";
tm.maxWidth = "72"; // default units are points (pt)
tm.maxWidth = "1 in";
tm.maxWidth = "2.54 cm";
tm.maxWidth = "6p0"; // picas and points
(Come on, let's hear some love from you old-time printers out there for
taking picas as an input unit!)
These are the same types of unit specifications that we handle in
space-type edit controls on our dialogs, such as the Frame palettes, the
Insert Page dialog, the Imposition tab of the Composition Settings, etc.
If you use an invalid unit specification, or something that's not a
number, an exception will be thrown.
Furthermore, you can set the useFloatingPointSizes property on the
FusionProTextMeasure object to true to make it treat numeric values as
points instead of hundredths of points. For instance:
var tm = new FusionProTextMeasure;
tm.maxWidth = 7250; // 72.5 points
tm.useFloatingPointSizes = true;
tm.maxWidth = 72.5; // 72.5 points
You can change this behavior globally in your job, for all
FusionProTextMeasure objects, by setting the prototype property, like
so:
FusionProTextMeasure.prototype.useFloatingPointSizes = true;
Okay, back to work....
