This article is part of the Scripts series.

Here is another border, pretty useless but at least I am learnt a bit about Python - the 'for' loops need their following lines to be indented. Also helps to understand the x and y co-ordinates of Scribus

Introduces: CreateLine SetLineWidth SetLineColor and Python for loops.

from scribus import *
Margins = (10, 10, 10, 10)
if NewDoc(Paper_A4, Margins, Portrait, 1, Points, NoFacingPages, FirstPageRight):
#some constants

#Draw the lines
d = CreateLine(spx-a/2,spy,a4w-30+a/2,spy) #Top
setLineColor(g60, d)
setLineWidth(a, d)
