II. DATAformTags 83 Developer handbook DATAformXTension © 1992-2004 www.gassenhuber.de {70} *t Polygon […] This Tag defines a polygonal text or picture box. The X and Y values of the individual polygon points, separated by a semi-colon, appear between the square brackets. Bezier curves from are not supported. The smallest polygon defines a triangle; it consists of a start point, two further points and an end point. The end point must be specified separately and must be the same as the start point – polygons are always closed. The smallest polygon therefore contains four points that are defined by eight values. The details are given in pt. A text polygon is defined by *T3, a picture polygon by *T12. Other values for *T are not allowed with polygons. ¶*T3*x100*y100*X200*Y200*t[100;100;200;100;150;200;100;100]*$Text¶ creates a triangle as a text box. With *x100*y100*X200*Y200 the surrounding rectangle of the polygon is defined. The polygon must fit into the surrounding rectangle exactly. The eight anchor points of a polygon lie exactly on the surrounding rectangle. ¶*T12*x75*y100*X225*Y200*t[100;100;200;100;225;150;150;200;75;150;100;100]* Z1*K0.8*k0.8*$:MyPicture¶ creates a pentagon, loads the picture “MyPicture” from the QuarkXPress folder, scales it to 80% and places it in the centre of the box, left picture.
