Scripts and Plugins / Re: Textbox Frame Size when cr...
Last post by a.l.e - November 12, 2024, 08:19:58 PMif width and height are defined, you're using the same width and height for creating the frame and then for resizing it.
in that case it won't change its size, no.
i just tested the sizeObject() function on my local Scribus and it did work as expected.
if reading this does not help, you might need to define a bit better what "it does not work" means...

Last post by AdmFubar - November 12, 2024, 07:46:21 PMat a quick glance at this script, I dont see what the new size would be, or how the size is going to be changed. Yes there the resize section, but are the width and height, getting the updated values?

And I am not sure that's a good idea, either:

I have plans to improve the patch. But not before it gets accepted or at least reviewed.
If you compile your Scribus, you should be able to use it...
Otherwise you will need to wait...
Sorry.

sizeObject(width, height [, "name"])
Resizes the object "name" to the given width and height. If "name" is not given the currently selected item is used.
I am trying to use this function to resize a text frame created. But it does not work
text_frame = scribus.createText(x_pos, y_pos, width, height)
# Insert only the cleaned text into the Scribus text box
scribus.insertText(clean_text, -1, text_frame)
# Optional: Set font styling
scribus.setFontSize(10, text_frame)
scribus.setFont("Baloo 2 Medium", text_frame)
# Set columns for the text frame
scribus.setColumns(2, text_frame) # Adjust the number of columns as needed
# Resize the object (if needed)
scribus.sizeObject(width, height, text_frame)
# Redraw all elements
scribus.redrawAll()
sizeObject(width, height [, "name"])

Last post by apastuszak - November 11, 2024, 09:43:44 PMCan you make tables using a script? I'd like to try that, if possible.
And, you're not the only ones with weak table functionality. I have a copy of Affinity Publisher and it's not much better.

Last post by MrB - November 11, 2024, 09:03:02 PMUnfortunately, we need to do a lot of work on the table functionality to make it really useful. Ideally, your scenario is just one way of making tables, yes.

Last post by a.l.e - November 11, 2024, 07:53:44 PMI did a quick search and, indeed, the command seems to be missing from the scripted API.
But it's probably easy to add.
On Thursday, I could give it a try.

Last post by apastuszak - November 11, 2024, 03:41:01 PMThe built in table feature isn't really working as well as I would like. And just using tabs in a text column isn't working for me either.
The workaround I came up with after Googling was to design the able in Libreoffice Calc, copy and paste it into LibreOffice Draw, export it as an SVG and import that into Scribus. That works well enough, but is kind of a pain to use. You also can't edit the table in Scribus if you find a typo.
Does anyone have a good workflow for doing tables in Scribus?
In a perfect world, I'd love to just feed an app a csv file, pick a table style and have it just create a table for me.
