    Hi,

    I would like the height of the image to be of the same height as the box image. I want to be able to write a value in inches for the width and that the vertical stay proportional. (Like when you Enter a data in inch in the scale X Percentage.)

    I think I’m almost there but I need your help to complete.

    Would anyone have the solution? I use Indesign 2015.
    Let me know if you need more information.

    Thanks for your help!

    Kathy

    //Part of my code

    //I tried this, but it works only with % and does not resize proportionately.
    with (myGraphic){
    geometricBounds = [-0.25,-0.25,11.25,8.75];
    var myBounds = myGraphic.geometricBounds;
    myGraphic.horizontalScale = myBounds[50]; //I dont want to use % scale, I want inches.
    }

    //I tried this
    myFrame.geometricBounds = [-0.25,-0.25,11.25,8.75]; //Image Frame

    //I need myGraphic to be the same height as: myBounds[2], but the default measurement is in points and is not proportional.
    //I would like to use variables instead of 648 and 828 and I want to keep the vertical proportional.
    myGraphic.resize(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR, ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH, [648, 828]);
    var myBounds = myFrame.geometricBounds;
    var myHeight = myBounds[2];
    alert(myHeight);

    Hi,

    If the performance is bearable, why not simply require some fitting ?

    app.selection[0].fit ( FitOptions. PROPORTIONALLY );

    ?

    Hi,
    No because I want the image to be the same height as my box image but the width can vary.
    Once the correct height, I center the image in the box. The image may be wider than the box itself.

    Thanks ;-)

    Sorry to insist but what about:

    app.selection[0].fit ( FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY );
    app.selection[0].fit ( FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT );

    ?

    But to be helpful, as resize require points, an easy way out with delaing with units is using an UnitValue Object:

    var w = new UnitValue ( “3in” ).as(‘pt’);
    var h = new UnitValue ( “2in” ).as(‘pt’);

    myGraphic.resize(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR, ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH, [w, h]);

    FWIW

    Hi,

    We almost succeeded. If I use the code as below, it works.
    I only want to change the value of the variable w, I would like to have the height of my page (which is variable).

    /////

    var myHeight = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight;

    //Instead of 3in, I would like to have height of my page. Is it possible ?
    var w = new UnitValue (“3in”).as(“pt”);

    myGraphic.resize(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES,AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR,ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,[w,ResizeConstraints.KEEP_CURRENT_PROPORTIONS]);

    Thanks again ;-)

    Hi,
    ok this code works

    var PWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
    var myNumber = parseFloat(PWidth);
    var FinalWidth = myNumber + “in”;
    alert (FinalWidth);
    var w = new UnitValue(FinalWidth).as(“pt”);

    myGraphic.resize(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES,AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR,ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,[w,ResizeConstraints.KEEP_CURRENT_PROPORTIONS])

    Hi,
    ok to do fit image depending on the width of the document.

    And now if I want the picture fit height of the Height size?

    I cannot use: app.selection[0].fit ( FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY );
    Because it adjusts the image to be fully visible in the frame.
    If I use a fit proportionally in height, the image may be wider than the Frame and it’s ok. It’s what I want.

    ///////////

    var PHeight = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight;
    var myHeight = parseFloat(PHeight);
    var FinalHeight = myHeight + “in”;
    alert (FinalHeight);
    var h = new UnitValue(FinalHeight).as(“pt”);

    //How to do not have the value w? I want a fit Height and not width. Width is forced to be there?
    myGraphic.resize(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES,AnchorPoint.TOP_CENTER_ANCHOR,ResizeMethods.REPLACING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_WITH,[w,h,ResizeConstraints.KEEP_CURRENT_PROPORTIONS])

    ok what about this :

    //Given that myGraphic is a Graphic instance

    var frame = myGraphic.parent;
    frame.visibleBounds = frame.parentPage.bounds;
    frame.fit ( FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY ); //OR FILL_PROPORTIONALLY if you don’t mind cropped data
    frame.fit ( FitOptions.CENTER_CONTENT);

    ?

    Also see this :

    var main = function() {
    var doc = app.properties.activeDocument;
    if ( !doc || app.selection.length!=1 ) return;
    if ( ! ( app.selection[0] instanceof Rectangle ) ){
    alert(“Please select some container”);
    return;
    }

    var rect =app.selection[0];
    if ( !rect.graphics.length ) {
    alert(“The item needs a placed graphic”);
    return;
    }

    var graphic = rect.graphics[0];
    var page = rect.properties.parentPage;

    if ( !page ) {
    alert(“The item is not placed on a page”);
    return;
    }

    var pageBounds = page.bounds;

    var itemBounds = graphic.geometricBounds;
    var itemHeight = Math.abs ( itemBounds[2]-itemBounds[0] );
    var pageHeight = Math.abs ( pageBounds[2]-pageBounds[0] );
    var pageWidth = Math.abs ( pageBounds[3]-pageBounds[1] );

    var ratio = pageHeight/itemHeight;
    const cs = CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES,
    ap = AnchorPoint.TOP_LEFT_ANCHOR,
    rm = ResizeMethods.MULTIPLYING_CURRENT_DIMENSIONS_BY;

    graphic.resize ( cs, ap, rm, [ratio,ratio] );
    itemBounds = graphic.geometricBounds;
    var itemWidth = Math.abs ( itemBounds[3]-itemBounds[1] );
    graphic.move([(pageBounds[1]-(Math.max (itemWidth, pageWidth)-Math.min(itemWidth, pageWidth))/2),0]);

    rect.visibleBounds = page.bounds;

    }

    var u;

    app.doScript ( “main()”,u,u,UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, “The Script” );

    Hi,
    oh wow, you’re like a Jeidi ;-) It works very well.
    There is just a small part that I tried to modify but I am not able to because I’m just a padawan.

    Is not exactly : var pageBounds = page.bounds; that I need because the image size frame must also include bleed.
    Do you think this can be done?

    Thanks a lot for your help. This is very much appreciated.
