Code `MAC6' `MACP' `WINT' `WIN3' `WIN4' `UNIX' Description Macintosh 68000 series Power Macintosh Windows NT® Windows 3. 1 Windows 95 Generic X/11 (Sun, HP) filter_vers is a string of four characters identifying the version of the filter on that platform. For example, version 1. 0 of a filter is represented by the string `1. 0 '. filter_name is a text string (less than 31 characters long) that describes the filter. ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 6. 0 127 MIF Document Statements More information about imported graphics For additional information on imported graphics, consult one of the following sources: · For instructions about modifying an application to create graphic insets for FrameMaker documents, see the FDK Programmer's Guide. · If you are using FrameServer or Live Links with graphic insets, see the online manual, Using FrameServer with Applications and Insets, which is included in the UNIX version of the Frame Developer's Kit. · For more information about importing graphics, see your user's manual. Math statement A Math statement describes an equation. For its description, see "MIF Equation Statements. " Polygon statement The Polygon statement describes a polygon. It can appear at the top level or in a Page or Frame statement. Syntax <Polygon Generic object statements <Smoothed boolean> <NumPoints integer> <Point X Y> . . . > Information common to all objects (see page 111) Yes smooths angles to rounded curves Number of vertices Position of object in page or frame coordinates More points as needed End of Polygon statement Usage The NumPoints statement is optional. When the MIF interpreter reads a MIF file, it counts the Point statements to determine the number of points in the polygon. PolyLine statement The PolyLine statement describes a polyline. It can appear at the top level or in a Page or Frame statement. ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 6. 0 128 MIF Document Statements Syntax <PolyLine Generic object statements <HeadCap keyword> Information common to all objects (see page 111) Type of head cap for lines and arcs keyword can be one of: ArrowHead Butt Round Square <TailCap keyword> Type of tail cap for lines and arcs keyword can be one of: ArrowHead Butt Round Square <ArrowStyle. . . > <Smoothed boolean> <NumPoints integer> <Point X Y> . . . > See "ArrowStyle statement" on page 116 Yes smooths angles to rounded curves Number of vertices Position in page or graphic frame coordinates More points as needed End of PolyLine statement Usage The PolyLine statement is used for both simple and complex lines. When the MIF interpreter reads a MIF file, it counts the Point statements to determine the number of points in the polyline. Rectangle statement The Rectangle statement describes rectangles and squares. It can appear at the top level or in a Page or Frame statement. ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 6. 0 129 MIF Document Statements Syntax <Rectangle Generic object statements <ShapeRect L T W H> Information common to all objects (see page 111) Position and size of object, before rotation, in page or graphic frame coordinates Yes smooths angles to rounded curves End of Rectangle statement <Smoothed boolean> > RoundRect statement A RoundRect statement describes a rectangle with curved corners. It can appear at the top level or in a Page or Frame statement. Syntax <RoundRect Generic object statements <ShapeRect L T W H> Information common to all objects (see page 111) Position and size of object, before rotation, in page or graphic frame coordinates Radius of corner; 0=square corner End of RoundRect statement <Radius dimension> > TextLine statement The TextLine statement describes a text line. A text line is a single line of text that a FrameMaker product treats differently from other text. Text lines grow and shrink as they are edited, but they do not automatically wrap the way text in a text column does. [. . . ] The origin of the coordinate system is the upper left corner of this rectangle. For the specifications of angles, positive values are measured clockwise from 0° (the x-axis), and negative values are measured counterclockwise.
