exists()

exists(): boolean

Returns

boolean

true if this element still exists on the document, or false otherwise

getBoundingBox()

getBoundingBox(): Box

Returns

Box

The bounding box of this item relative to its containing page. As pages may change size
to fit the content on them, note that these coordinates may be negative or very large.

If this is a rotated block, the bounding box returned here is where the block would be if it were
unrotated.

getContainers()

getContainers(): BlockProxy[]

Returns

BlockProxy[]

An array of blocks whose bounding boxes contain this item's upper-left corner

getLocation()

getLocation(): object

Returns

object

The x/y location of this item

x

x: number = bb.x;

y

y: number = bb.y;

getPage()

getPage(): PageProxy

Returns

PageProxy

The page containing this item

getPageId()

getPageId(): string

Returns

string

The ID of the page containing this item

measureText()

measureText(name, maxWidth): MeasureTextResult

Measure the amount of space necessary to render the text in the given text area, given a
width to measure that text within.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`name`	`string`	Name of the text area whose content we should measure
`maxWidth`	`number`	Width of the area in which to measure this text. The result will usually be no wider than this, but if a single word is long enough to go beyond this maxWidth, the width of that word will be returned.

Returns

MeasureTextResult

The size of rectangle necessary to render this text area's content.

offset()

offset(type, offset): void

Offset this item in the given direction by the given amount.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`type`	`LinearOffsetType`	The type of offset to apply to this item

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`key`	`string` \| `number`

Returns

void

Inherited from

ElementProxy.removeReferenceKey

setBoundingBox()

setBoundingBox(bb): void

Attempts to move and resize this item to fit into the given bounding box. If this item (or another
item it contains) has size or aspect ratio restrictions, it may not be possible to fit the requested
location exactly.

This is done by moving this item to the requested location, then attempting to resize it from the
bottom-right corner to the requested size.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`bb`	`Box`	The bounding box to attempt to make this item fill

Returns

void

`location`	`Point`	The target location

Returns

void

setReferenceKey()
