CHAPTER 5: Scripting with JavaScript Working with the perspective grid 54

Bring objects into perspective

If an art object is not in perspective, use the bringInPerspective() method to bring it into perspective

and place it on a plane.

This script creates a new document, draws art objects, and brings them into perspective on a three-point

perspective grid:

ï»¿//Create a new document

var mydoc = app.documents.add();

//Draw ellipse

var myellipse = mydoc.pathItems.ellipse(60, -60, 30, 30, false, true);

//Draw polygon

var mypoly = mydoc.pathItems.polygon(-105, 105, 15, 7, false);

//Draw star

var mystar = mydoc.pathItems.star(-135, 135, 15, 10, 6, false);

//Select the default three-point perspective preset

mydoc.selectPerspectivePreset("[3P-Normal View]");

//Display the perspective grid defined in the document

mydoc.showPerspectiveGrid();

//Check if active plane is set to left; if not, set it to left

if (mydoc.getPerspectiveActivePlane() != PerspectiveGridPlaneType.LEFTPLANE)

{

mydoc.setPerspectiveActivePlane(PerspectiveGridPlaneType.LEFTPLANE);

}

//Bring the ellipse to the active plane (left plane)

myellipse.bringInPerspective(-100,-100, PerspectiveGridPlaneType.LEFTPLANE);

//Bring the polygon to the right plane

mypoly.bringInPerspective(100,-100,PerspectiveGridPlaneType.RIGHTPLANE);

//Bring the star to the floor plane

mystar.bringInPerspective(100,100,PerspectiveGridPlaneType.FLOORPLANE);
