Creating Frames and Appending their Contents

The PrintOMatic Xtra uses a "frames" metaphor for creating areas on the page where text or graphics can be flowed. The basic procedure is to create one or more "linked" frames on a page of a document, then append items to the newly created frames. The following commands are used to create frames and append their contents.

newFrame creates a new frame on the current page

append appends contents to the current frame

appendFile appends the contents of a text or graphic file to the current frame

getInsertionPoint gets the location of the insertion point within the current frame

pageBreak inserts a page break in the text flow
