Positioning of a text box in a text box

I need the position of some text boxes shaded in the columns of normal text that all streams on about 30 pages. This is so that whenever I make changes to text in columns, I need to not spend by manually and reposition the box color.

The method im using at the moment is to simply copy / paste the text box in the columns of so that if I add or remove a line, the box moves with the rest of the text.

However the question I have, is that the internal text box overlaps normal text unless I knocked back 10-15 depending on how the area is large.

Is anyway to avoid this?

Hope ive explained it's ok.

OK, here's how skin works with anchored objects:

For inline and top executives of the line (the kind you get when you cut and paste directly into the text flow), film applied to the pasted frame button text between the point where you paste from.

For placed custom frames (the kind you get when you drag the square on the edge of the image in the text, or by changing the type on a line) that can be placed anywhere on the page, but always move with the text wrap applied to the anchored only frame affects text in the lines that follow the line containing the anchor point.

Text on an anchoed object wrapping never affects text in lines before the anchor point. Can you show us a screenshot of the problem? I suspect that you use inlines and you need to change the way that you attack applied to the paragraph in order to push the frame anchored to the bottom.

  • Police base / positioning of the text of point vs box

    For some stupid reason too long to address here, I place some point text in the same place, as it would be placed if it was in text box.

    However, it appears in the text box is positioned compared to the 'first line' of the police, while the sharp text is positioned (anchored) from the baseline of the text, see the next with the same position sample model:

    0ajyv52.png

    What I've done here is just first create "mypoint" by clicking on (0,0) and paste the text ' "(which contains characters that show the level of reference and full height also), and create the text box"mybox"set by draw a text box to (0,0) to (1 000 100) and paste the same text and by changing the colors to make them recognizable.

    I then just added a rule to y = 100, added an adjustment layer and it value parent of these two layers, then shift the position of the adjustment layer - 100 so I can see what is happening.

    Now the question is, how to calculate what "mypoint" position would be to align on the same alignment of Y-position that the text "mybox" is?

    Just for the inspection of a few things:

    Looking at the returned rectangles sourceRectAtTime() I get something in the general direction of the following, but he is not quite right:

    1CDsCSW.png

    model var = app.project.activeItem;

    var b = comp.layer ("mybox");

    var p = comp.layer ("mypoint");

    BR var = p.sourceRectAtTime (0, false);

    PR var = b.sourceRectAtTime (0, false);

    var text = p.sourceText.value; copy settings

    var t2 = comp.layers.addText (text);

    text = t2.sourceText.value;

    text.applyColor = true;

    text.fillColor = [0,1,1]; cyan to differentiate

    T2.sourceText.SetValue (Text);

    T2. Name = "myotherpoint";

    T2.parent = comp.layer("adjust-y");

    T2.position.SetValue ([0, 0]); gives the same position as "mypoint".

    T2.position.SetValue ([0, br.top - pr.top]) / / slightly off

    T2.position.SetValue ([0, text.fontSize]) / / No, too low

    Is it a reasonable way of calculation and this... ?

    I tried to add a point text and to match a text box, with a code similar to yours, and it works.

    However I have no parent the text point to layer "settle there" (because you said nothing on the subject), but directly in the text of the box.

    Start-ups can come from your transformation parameters to "settle there" layer. Maybe reset?

    I used this code:

    var comp = app.project.activeItem;
    var b = comp.layer("mybox");
    var br = b.sourceRectAtTime(0, false);
    
    var p = comp.layers.addText(b.text.sourceText.value.text);
    p.name = "mypoint";
    // make same doc specs (skipped)
    var pr = p.sourceRectAtTime(0, false);
    
    // parent, then set relative position
    p.parent = b;
    p.transform.position.setValue([br.left-pr.left, br.top-pr.top, 0]);
    

    Xavier

    Edit: just realized that 'set the y' is on your screen, and it is the parent of all the layers...

    I don't have a lot of time to understand why your code does not work, but if you parent the point of the box instead of the box parent, then it should work.

  • Get the position of the text (inside or outside a nightclub?)

    Hi all

    I use simple Ruby to access the contents of a PDF file. This help PDF Reader of yob of GitHub.

    Now, I've come a long way, but still have a question that remains! How to get the position of a text object (this object area)?

    I read the PDF reference, he told me all sorts of things on the text area, space glyph and user... As English is not my mother tongue, there is a lot to take... I currently have a Community trade mark, a matrix of text and text rendering matrix. I have also all the boxes on the page (media, trim, culture etc..)

    For an Image object, I use the values of e and f CTM as x and y. It works perfectly, but when it comes to text, seems to be missing something...

    Example:

    CTM: Matrix]

    [1, 0, 0].

    [0, -1, 0],

    [-0.0, 640.346, 1]

    ]

    Text matrix = > array]

    [10.0, 0.0, 0].

    [0.0, 10.0, 0].

    [2062769.1732, 42.6732, 1]

    ] == You need to convert the text in user/device space space!

    TRM: Matrix]

    [1000.0, 0.0, 0.0],

    [- 10.0, 0.0, 0.0].

    [2062769.1732, 597.6728, 1.0]

    ]

    I can count the lines and calc a displacement of multipling that number by police in size (e.g. 12 pt), but how can I get the box of you text_object? If I have the box, I can make you whether he fits in a box...

    Please help with what I might hurt, or even better if you can help me to find the position of the text!

    They are NOT the starting point of the text box.   It is the basic position of the pen, taking the place of drawing the text.  The 'box' versus relies on measures of fonts - what you need to get the widths, leader, etc.  There's a picture of this in the ISO 32000-1 standard (section 9.2.4, I think).  In fact, the entire section text will make this clearer.

  • How to get the exact position of the text?

    Hi try the code below, I do not get the exact position of the text.

    IWaxLine* waxLine = waxIterator->GetFirstWaxLine(start_pos);

    PositionY = waxLine->GetYPosition();

    Can you suggest a solution for above problem.

    Instead of GetYPosition, try waxLine-> GetToPasteboardMatrix(). Transform(&positionPB); Then you can convert it into page coordinates

  • How to change the start position of the text on a custom path

    I don't seem to be able to change the start position of the text on a custom path. I can see the 'X' on the basic line that defines the beginning of the text, but it doesn't seem to be a way to change its position. Among the videos on the Internet suggested that now the CTRL key would allow X to drag along the way - however, if I try that, the path moves rather than the X.

    Steps to reproduce the problem:

    Select text on a custom path tool

    Draw a custom path

    Validate by clicking on the green arrow

    Click path for text insertion tool

    Type text

    Engage

    ... Now try to change the start position of the text.

    Photoshop Elements 10

    Windows XP SP3

    After validating the text you need to click on the path with the type tool (for example next to your first letter), and then by holding down the ctrl key should work.

    Your get the path selection tool.

    In other words without switching tools, just pass your cursor next to the text, then click on when the cursor turns into the i-beam cursor, but you can switch to the type tool as Ken suggest if you find that easier.

  • positioning images and text

    I've noticed in muse when you change the size or the leader etc. of a text box, it automatically increases its size to fit the new size of the text (unlike in indesign, photoshop and illustrator)


    It's cool and not only that sometimes repeat sometimes muse grows automatically any block image or text to the bottom of the page to make space for what it


    still very cool


    but then, as does an indesigner, you start dragging images and text on the page around areas and they look very good in design muse, but the preview and the browser sometimes puts higher upwards or downwards more down the page you wanted or expected


    as I muse and I can not look under the hood and don't want to anyway and cannot change any code (thank God) what should I do?


    Muse is not all guess it is


    PS once when I selected the text boxes and tried to move them they stole off the screen in a wild part of the pasteboard and I had to go after them and wrangle that they return to the page

    Short and precise: No... You're confusing Muse for a web version of InDesign, which is not. What you describe is normal behavior because the real positioning of elements on a web page is calculated according to the rules of formatting and how they interact with each other. Some of this stuff is figured correctly at design time, other stuff not because we need to run the scripts or formatting rules to be evaluated first. This has always been the bane of any web - design overview is that a preview is a preview, nothing more. You simply don't know how pages can knock out on light in the wrong browser. In your case, looks like just the typical mistake of beginners to plopping at the root of the page without making good use of layers and groups to determine priorities. This and of course you can apply the padding, wide margins and so on or in the opposite direction does not reset rules rather generous padding and margin a few widgets. So in the end, as much as you can not, you down serious things and work up to at least a basic understanding of how the work of formatting of Muse and how it translates a web page once published. Web design isn't just about 100% WYSIWYG.

  • Position of the text of a checkbox control

    Hello

    Is it possible to have the text on the left side of a checkbox control?

    I use spark and tlf.

    Thanx

    Allan

    I should say "by reskinning the check box". You would not normally modify the CheckBoxSkin.mxml file that defines the default appearance; you make your own version of it and tell the checkbox for use instead.

  • Position of the text and the mask for the position was separated

    Hello

    I tried searching for this solution on several different forums, but no luck.  Maybe I'm phrasing the wrong question.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I hope it's something pressing.

    What I'm trying to achieve:

    I want to have this sentence scroll down, left to right: "we had a good time."

    I want seems to US first by using the scale, but the following words that follow to be made then slide from left to right, any entry behind the word on his left.  So after 'We', a fraction of a second later, I want the word 'had' to come behind the word 'We' - BUT be hidden by a mask until it clears the word '' We. ''


    After that, I want the word or the letter 'a' to do the same thing after that and so on, and so on.


    I hope I explained this correctly.


    Thank you.


    Kind regards

    Erik

    Have another layer to 'Us', then use a track matte for the other layer.

  • Setting position of the dialog box

    I'll call the dialog function a simple button on the palette of the dialog box.  When running, the dialog box always appears in the center of the VI window, regardless of where the VI window.  The dialog box covers indicatorsthat, the user should see.

    Other that to move the indicators on the front panel, is there something that can be done to move the dialog box to be perhaps outside the front window?  I see no setting for a position of dialog.

    I know that I can always create a Subvi as a dialog box and define the position of the window, but I was wondering if the primitive location of Labview could be changed.

    What I did when I ran across something like this, it is to carry the message to display to the express VI user and right-click and select everything that the option is called to make a normal VI. Then you can dig in and copy the source code or save as and make a copy of change needed. In this way, you keep all the existing resize based on the input text if a message is displayed, etc.. I think that this VI dressed just the primitive dialogues, if you have a lot more flexibility

  • Unlock the position of the 'legends box' for each image in the slideshow

    Hi guys,.

    I have a slideshow that has 8 images with thumbnails for example. I want to move the caption (text box) for each image in the other location, but if I adjust the caption of an image and others, their legends are exactly in the same position as the caption for the first image.

    There must be a work around for this surely,

    I came across this post - help with captions in slide shows , but I do not understand what is needed to do this, if someone manages to do, could you please limit exactly what is needed to get the look. I tried to disable "change set" and that did not help either.

    I hope someone can help here, I really need to be located in different places for each image captions in the slide show.

    Thank you!

    You can use any composition in the form of a slide show and add the text block in the container, place the block of text in a different location for each container.

    Thank you
