CHAPTER 2: The Illustrator Scripting Object Model Object-naming conventions 19

Object-naming conventions

There is one object model for the Illustrator scripting interface, but actual object names vary slightly in the

different scripting languages:

X AppleScript names are lower case, and individual words are separated by a space; for example:

graphic style

VBScript names are capitalized, and additional words in the name are indicated by uppercase initial

letters; for example:

GraphicStyle

JavaScript names begin with lowercase letters, and additional words in the name are indicated by

uppercase initial letters; for example:

graphicStyle

This chapter uses generic object and property names, but you can easily apply these conventions to

determine the corresponding language-specific names.

Throughout this document, names of properties, methods, and object are in a

monospaced font.

Top-level (containing) objects

Use these objects to access global information about the Illustrator application or an individual document.

Application

The properties of the application object give your script access to global values, such as:

X User preferences, which a user sets interactively in the Illustrator application by using the

Preferences dialog (Edit > Preferences).

X System information like installed fonts (the text fonts property) and printers (the printer list

property).

Also, there are properties that provide application-specific information and higher-level information about

any open documents:

X Application information like the installation path, version, and whether Illustrator is visible.

X The current active document; that is, the art canvas that is displayed and accepting user input.

X All open documents.

The

application object’s methods or commands allow your script to perform application-wide actions;

for example:

X Open files

X Undo and redo transactions

X Quit Illustrator
