Graphics
When you place an image in InDesign, it is typically placed in a
rectangle. You can verify this in the usual way: place an image, select
it, then type app.selection[0]
in the
ESTK’s console and press Enter/Return. The ESTK responds with [object Rectangle]
. Rectangles are similar to
text frames in several ways: for example, their size and position is
stored in the same geometric bounds. Text frames and rectangles also share
properties such as label
and stroke
, and methods such as move()
. The main difference, naturally, is their
contents: text frames contain text, rectangles contain images.
