dom.setTextRectangleAutoFromPoint()

Availability

Fireworks 3.

Usage

dom.setTextRectangleAutoFromPoint(anchorPoint)

Arguments

anchorPoint

A point that specifies the x,y coordinates of the location at which the text box

should be anchored (see “Point data type” on page 11). How the point is used depends on the

left-to-right and up-to-down orientation of the text flow in the text block.

• Left-justified horizontal text is placed with its top and left edges at anchorPoint, and the text

expands to the right.

• Centered horizontal text is centered horizontally around anchorPoint and expands equally to

the left and right.

• Centered vertical text is centered vertically around anchorPoint and expands equally up

and down.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Performs the same function as dom.setTextRectangleAuto(), but lets you pass a point to

specify where the rectangle should be located.
