Re: ESTK - draw a graphic

Klaus,

drawing polylines is not easy with FrameMaker, as it depends on the order of points and also the settings of polyline properties also.

Fortunately I don't need to do this in my projects :-) but I did this in a very long time ago and remember the battle with FrameMaker.

 

What I would do is to draw a polyline that I expect, and check to points and the order they are set. After that, I would take exactly the same settings, and create the polyline by code with exactly the same values for each point shown in databrowser.

 

As soon as this works, I would add the same polyline with my own points. And as soon as this fits to, I would change polyline properties.

 

BTW:

oPoly.Color = 0;                                // black?

Color is an Object, and you have to get it from FM with doc.GetNamedColor("Black").

Please note Standard Color names are localized. You won't get "Black" in a German FM. You Need to call "Schwarz" or "Noir" for French FM.

 

and for this

oPoly.Fill  = 15

I would use FM constans. Something like Constants.FV_FILL
