When QuarkXPress Server is running on Mac OS, use a URL like the following:

http://localhost:8080/sample.qxp?modify=

file:MacHD:xml:createBox.xml

You can also supply a string that consists of valid XML commands. For example:

http://localhost:8080/sample.qxp?modify=<PROJECT><LAYOUT>

</GEOMETRY></BOX></SPREAD></LAYOUT></PROJECT>

To create a new box, use code like the following:

Spread spread = new Spread();

Box box = new Box();

Example, object

model

box.name = "textbox1";

Geometry geometry = new Geometry();

Position position = new Position();

position.top = "110";

position.left = "89";

position.bottom = "220";

position.right = "300";

geometry.position = position;

geometry.shape = "SH_RECT";

geometry.page = "1";

geometry.layer = "Default";

box.geometry = geometry;

box.boxType = "CT_TEXT";

box.operation = "CREATE";

spread.box = new Box[]{box};

Use the following object hierarchy:

ModifierRequest < Project < Layout < Spread < Box < Geometry

Deleting boxes

To delete a box, use the following parameters in the Modifier DTD:

• "BOX (Modifier schema)"

• "ID (Modifier schema)"

The following XML shows how these parameters work.

</BOX>

</SPREAD>
