Table Of Contents
For ModifierFileRequest, the member contents are used to set the file path or send
the XML itself.
com.quark.qxpsm.QRequestContext rc = new com.quark.qxpsm.QRequestContext();
if(!this.DocumentSettings1.documentName.Text.Equals(""))
rc.documentName = this.DocumentSettings1.documentName.Text;
// STEP 2 (SPECIFIC TO REQUESTS):Create the Text Modifier
// renderer request and embed it in request context
ModifierRequest textReq = new ModifierRequest();
Project contents = new Project();
RichText richText1 = new RichText();
richText1.value = this.text1.Text;
richText1.color = this.color1.Text;
Text boxText1 = new Text();
Story story = new Story();
story.richText = new RichText[]{richText1};
boxText1.story = story;
if(this.fittextbox1.Checked)
boxText1.fitTextToBox = "true";
if(this.clearoldtext1.Checked)
boxText1.clearOldText = "true";
Box box1 = new Box();
box1.UID = txtBox1;
box1.text = boxText1;
Layout layout1 = new Layout();
layout1.name = layoutText;
layout1.boxes = new Box[]{box1};
contents.layouts = new Layout[]{layout1};
textReq.contents = contents;
rc.request = textReq;
// Create the service and call it with QRequestContext object
RequestService svc = new RequestService();
com.quark.qxpsm.QContentData qc = svc.processRequest(rc);
To edit the properties of an existing text box in a QuarkXPress project, use the following object
hierarchy:
ModifierRequest < Project < Layout < Spread <
Box < Text < Story < Paragraph < RichText
Example 2,
object model
For a list of the RichText object's properties, see the JavaDoc installed with QuarkXPress Manager.
The Story object also contains some text-related properties: fitTextToBox, includeStylesheets,
convertQuotes, and clearOldText.
The <FITTEXTTOBOX> attribute depends on two preferences: Allow Text to Grow and Font Size.
To set these preferences in QuarkXPress Server, choose QuarkXPress > Server > Preferences and
then click Modifier in the list on the left.
Notes
Modifying picture properties
You can modify the properties (such as origin, scale, angle, skew, and orientation) of
pictures in a QuarkXPress project with XML. To modify picture properties, use the following
parameters in the Modifier DTD:
"BOX (Modifier schema)"
"ID (Modifier schema)"
