intersects() and Line

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:09:30 +0200

Do I have an error in this code or does intersects() not work for a Line?
I notice a bug report at October 2011 that also suggests 2 point lines are not behaving the same as paths with more points?

--------

When I run this code, I get 'no hit' followed by a list of hits if i use a Line
If I change the line to a thin Rectangle , intersects() seems to work ok.

var testLine = Path.Line(left,y,right,y);
document.activeLayer.appendTop(testLine) ;
// get intersections with hit item
if ( ! testLine.intersects(hitItem) ) {
console.log ('line at ', y, 'intersects says no hit');
}
console.log ('line at ', y, 'intersections are ...');
var locations = testLine.getIntersections(hitItem);
// Loop through the locations (if any):
for(var i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
// The position of the intersection:
var point = locations[i].point;
console.log ( point.x, ',' , point.y);
}

Bug for azerty & €

Michel — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:38:36 +0100

Hi.
Firstly, I am French (important for the next).
After installing the plugin in AI CS 5, I realized that my € glyph could not be written.
After research and testing, I realized that "Alt-Gr" + E (for € azerty keyboard) was a shortcut that opens a Scriptographer's panel .
Is it possible that developers find another shortcut so that plugins works with a qwerty keyboard?
Thank you very much.
Thx for that great plugin!

Illegal character

Matt Pleasant — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:13:54 +0100

I can't create a new script through the Scriptographer Interface and when I try to edit an existing one, I get the error "Illegal Character at Scriptographer Scripts\SymbolScript.js:1" I can't seem to hack it and although Scriptographer would appear to be useful, this issue is making it useless. I thought it was because I was using ESTK to edit it, so I tried notepad, and the error still pops up. If anyone has any insight on this topic, please reply. I have big hopes for this plugin, and any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
Matt

NaN values for segments creates confusion.

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:42:06 +0100

Hello,
Today i made a script which accidentally assigned a NaN value to the x/y values of a segment. This caused Scriptographer to behave erractically and spitting out error messages on every keypress and mouse event in scriptographer until i restarted Illustrator.

To recreate the bug in CS5:
create a new path/shape and select it.
in the scriptographer console type:
document.selectedItems[0].segments[0].point.x = NaN

now the sg console outputs "Invalid coordinates: { x: NaN, y: 215.02588 }" on every keypress in the console, and on every mouse event sg panel.

if I delete the shape the error message "The item is no longer valid, either due to deletion or undoing. Use isValid() checks to avoid this error."
is output on every key/mouse event until i restart Illustrator.

Cheers

Henrik

Scriptographer broke text point size keyboard shortcut?

incandenza — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 04:04:59 +0100

Not sure if this is a problem other Scripto users have had, but with Illustrator 5.1 it seems scriptographer breaks the cmd-shift-> shortcut for increasing text size. I could always change it to be something else, but it's a pretty crucial shortcut and I'm just wondering if anyone else was having this problem. Also, sometimes illustrator will interpret my directional keystrokes as me trying to navigate the scriptographer menu whenever it is open, which is awfully frustrating.

Scriptographer almost killed me....

I downloaded it yestarday and played every tools in my assignment poster file.
I found some tools didn't work , so I skipped them but still draw randomly.
After a while, I closed illustrator and then opened it again, the sketch and graphic in my poster file TOTALLY transformed !! OMG!!
I think that's duo to the invisible Scriptographer effects...
now I have to do the poster again.........shock + sad......
Tomorrow is deadline...T_T

No show on Illustrator CS4 :-(

Jon Lee — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 23:53:06 +0200

Unfortunately there's no sign of Scriptographer.. it's all setup as per the installation instructions. Unzipped the file and placed it in the plug-ins folder and JRE6 is on the system.. but no joy. It doesn't crash Illustrator as some people say.. it's just a full no show.

Please HELP.. really wanted to use this as part of my Masters research.

Thanks

Scriptographer not loading on Ai CS5.1, Windows 7 64bit

Stefan — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:03:23 +0200

When I loaded the Scriptographer files into the Plugin folder of Illustrator CS5.1 the program (Illustrator) gives me an error (The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer) and after clicking OK it runs the program, but no sign of Scriptographer.
Then, if I remove the Scriptographer folder, Illustrator runs smoothly.

I have Windows 7 on 64bit, Illustrator CS5.1 and Java 6 (I have also tried with Java 7 but the same problem).

Could anyone tell me what is the problem?

intersection bug

simon — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 14:04:38 +0200

hi i just wrote the following code and noticed that the result for lines with only two points differs from lines with more points.

var selectedItems = document.getItems({ selected: true });

selectedItems[0].strokeColor = 'red';
selectedItems[1].strokeColor = 'blue';

console.log("------------------------");

for(i=0; i<selectedItems.length; i++){
for(j=0; j<selectedItems.length; j++){
if(i!=j){
console.log("c ", i, j, selectedItems[i].contains(selectedItems[j]));
console.log("i ", i, j, selectedItems[i].intersects(selectedItems[j]));

}
}
}
