Scripter/Images

Haven't got this wiki thing psyched out yet, but here is a script to put an 8pt border 20 pts in on a A4 page. Modifyfying it gives all sorts of borders - from scribus import *

if NewDoc(Paper_A4, (10, 10, 10, 10), Portrait, 1, UNIT_POINTS, NoFacingPages, FirstPageRight): spx=20         # x co-ord Start point spy=20         # y co-ord Start point wth=595        # A4 width in points dph=842        # Depth of frame - adjust to suit a=8            # Line width b="Black"      # add other colors as required b1="Blue" w="White"

h = CreateRect(spx,spy,wth-2*spx,dph-2*spy) setCornerRadius(20, h)       setLineWidth(8, h)        setFillColor(w, h)        setLineColor(b, h)

SaveDocAs("Border_2.sla") #Make sure this is writable

When I last tried setCornerRadius didn't work, but they'll sort that out eventually.

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
