URL
To add a layer, use a URL like the following:
http://localhost:8080/qxpdoc/doc.qxp?addlayer=
NewLayer&visible=yes&suppressoutput=yes&locked=no
To delete a layer, use a URL like the following:
http://localhost:8080/qxpdoc/doc.qxp?deletelayer=Layer1
To render all layers in a project, use a URL like the following:
http://localhost:8080/qxpdoc/doc.qxp?alllayers=true
To set layer attributes, use a URL like the following:
http://localhost:8080/qxpdoc/doc.qxp?layerattribute=
Layer1&name=Layer2&visible=true&keeprunaround=true
To add a new layer to a project, use code like the following:
Layer layer = new Layer();
layer.name = "New Layer";
Example, object
model
layer.operation = "CREATE";
RGBColor rgbcolor = new RGBColor();
layer.RGBColor = rgbcolor;
layout.layer = new Layer[]{layer};
To edit the properties of an existing layer, use the following object hierarchy:
ModifierRequest < Project < Layout < Layer
To delete a layer, set its operation attribute to "DELETE".
You cannot add, modify, or delete multiple layers in a single request.Notes
You cannot print layers whose visible and suppressoutput properties are set to false.
You can render a hidden or suppressed layer by referencing it with the layer parameter.
Suppressed layers are rendered for the jpeg, png, and qxpdoc render types, but not for the
pdf, postscript, and eps render types.
You can use the deconstruct and getdocinfo request handlers to view information about
the layers in a project.
When you add a layer using addlayer, any unspecified attributes use the settings in the
QuarkXPress Server layer preferences (Administration > Preferences > Renderer > Layers).
If the visible property is set to false, the suppressoutput property is automatically set
to true.
