Scriptable Text Editor Object Class Definitions 335
Uniform Styles
The text styles that are uniformly “on” or “off” for all characters
of a text object.
Class: Text Style Info. Objects of this class have two properties:
On Styles and Off Styles. The On Styles property specifies the
styles that apply to all the characters of the text object. The Off
Styles property specifies the styles that do not apply to any of
the characters of the text object. Both properties are lists of
constants that specify text styles. If a style does not appear in
either list, the style applies to some but not all of the characters
in the object. See “Elements of Text Objects” on page 314 for
information about how styles are used. The constants that can
be used in Uniform Styles property lists are bold, italic,
outline, underline, and shadow.
Modifiable? No
