PPlaceSized

The commands that load the place icon are PImport, PCreateIndex, PCreateTOC, and PPlaceNext.

Command constructor

long xLeftTop;

x-coordinate of left edge of text block or image in twips

long yLeftTop;

y-coordinate of top edge of text block or image in twips

long xRightBottom;

x-coordinate of right edge of text block or image in twips

long yRightBottom;

y-coordinate of bottom edge of text block or image in twips

Images: Text wrap turned off. The PPlaceSized command places images with text wrap turned off, regardless of the default text wrap settings.

Images: Sizing not proportional. The PPlaceSized command sizes images within the given coordinates, which may or may not be proportional.

Text: Column guides and Snap To options ignored. Unlike the PPlace command, PPlaceSized ignores column guides and sizes the text block to the specified coordinates. Also the command is not sensitive to the settings of the Snap to Guides and Snap to Rulers options. PageMaker sizes the text block to the location you specify, regardless of any guides or rulers.

Text: yRightBottom a placeholder. When placing text, PageMaker disregards the value of yRightBottom. Instead, PageMaker adjusts the bottom of the text block to accommodate the text. If necessary, PageMaker expands the text block until it reaches the bottom of the page, the bottom of the pasteboard (if the text block is contained entirely on the pasteboard), or a graphic with column-break text wrap applied.

Exceptions. PPlaceSized throws a CQ_INVALID_ARGS exception for any of the following conditions:

• Left coordinates must be greater than right coordinates, and top coordinates must be greater than bottom coordinates. (Remember: In the PageMaker coordinate system, values increase as you move down from the zero point.)

• The width exceeds the maximum PageMaker column width (21 inches, 533.4 millimeters, or 126 picas).

• The height exceeds the maximum PageMaker column depth (22.6 inches, 574 millimeters, or 135p7.2 picas)

PImport("artfolder:building.gif", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
PGetPageMargins margins;
PPlaceSized(margins.xInside, margins.yTop, margins.xOutside, margins.yBottom);
