Property Data type Notes
autoExpandImages
Boolean If set to true, and the element mask is an
image, the image is automatically expanded
to fill the entire document, with areas
“outside” the image showing through. If set
to
false (or if the element mask is not an
image), areas “outside” the element mask
are knocked out.
element
object Element object (see “ElementMask object”
on page 45).
enabled
Boolean If set to true, the mask applies to the
element. If set to
false, the mask remains
present but does not visually affect the
element in any way. Default value is
true.
linked
Boolean If set to true, moving the mask moves the
element that owns it, and vice versa. If set to
false, moving the mask does not affect the
element that owns it (and moving the
element does not affect the mask). Default
value is
true.
mode
string Acceptable values are "mask to image" and
"mask to path".
owner
object The element (image, path, text, and so on)
that owns the mask.
showAttrs
Boolean If set to true, and mode is "mask to path", the
mask element’s fill and stroke (if any) are
drawn. If set to
false, the mask element’s fill
and stroke are ignored.
Property Data type Notes
delayTime
integer For GIF animations, the delay time between
frames, in 1/100ths of a second. For
example, if you set
delayTime to 200, two
seconds elapse before the next frame in the
animation appears. Default value is
7.
frameHidden
Boolean If set to false (the default), the frame is
exported. If set to
true, the frame is hidden
and not exported.
