Hello Scribus community,

We have recently completed a few projects using Scribus and developed a custom plugin with Python. We're passionate about expanding our expertise and connecting with more clients who use Scribus. However, we're finding it a bit challenging to identify where Scribus-related projects are typically posted or sourced.

If anyone has experience or insights on where to find clients or projects involving Scribus (specific sites, freelance platforms, or communities), we'd greatly appreciate your advice. We're also interested in hearing how others have marketed their Scribus skills and connected with clients looking for custom solutions or plugin development.

Thank you in advance for any guidance you can offer!

Best regards,
Abi

Scripts and Plugins / Re: Textbox Frame Size when cr...

Last post by a.l.e - November 12, 2024, 08:19:58 PM

if 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...

at 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?

No, it's not possible...

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

Non default shortcuts tend do be pretty bad, complex and not match the name of the script...

Personally, I've integrated my scripts in the navigation and can now launch them with the action search...

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(...)
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()
