hi erik,
i haven't had time to look into your script but i think the requested
functionality is implemented in
dialogs.qs in function highlightingSelectedText
var _op = firstSelected();
var _firstTextOp = undefined;
var _rectangles = [];
while (_op) {
if (isTextOp( _op )) {
var _pom = getFirstTextOp( _op );
if (_firstTextOp == undefined)
_firstTextOp = _pom;
if ( ! _pom.equals (_firstTextOp) ) {
operatorDrawRect( _rectangles, getColor("bg"),
0, _firstTextOp );
_firstTextOp = _pom;
_rectangles = [];
}
var _br = _op.getBBox();
var _x1 = convertPixmapPosToPdfPos_x( _br[0], _br[1] );
var _y1 = convertPixmapPosToPdfPos_y( _br[0], _br[1] );
var _x2 = convertPixmapPosToPdfPos_x( _br[2], _br[3] );
var _y2 = convertPixmapPosToPdfPos_y( _br[2], _br[3] );
_rectangles.push( [_x1, _y1, _x2-_x1, _y2-_y1 ] );
}
hope it helps,
jozef
