Scripter2 API

Document API

Document object is created/used when there is an active document in Scribus. It provides the following objects, accessible as Scripter.activeDocument.

layers

Layers in the active document are accessible by creating a python object. This can be done by the statement : Scripter.activeDocument.layers

colors

Colors in the active document are accessible by creating a python object. This can be done by the statement : Scripter.activeDocument.colors

objects

Objects of the active document are accessible by creating a python object. This can be done by the statement : Scripter.activeDocument.objects

Layer API

A layer object can be created by as Scripter.activeDocument.layers. All the functions mentioned below are used for manipulation of layers using python scripts.

Sample script:

   layerObject = Scripter.activeDocument.layers
   print layerObject.getLayers() #this will print the list of layers in active document.
