I have a text box, the size will change, using Ctrl+a I have highlight the text in the text box, how to get the coordinates of this highlighted text? so that I can readtext() that area. Actually I tried copying the highlighted text to clip board and then to put in a variable. But if I compare with an existing text I am getting an \n for the end of the line, if I compare the text retrieved with original text , they don't match. so I am thinking of using readtext()
Please help me in this regard.
Can you try with format function. Should get rid of escape sequences.
typeText controlKey&a
typeText controlKey&c
put remoteClipboard() into yourVariable
put format("%b", yourVariable) into newVariable

how are you comparing in your scenario?
When your use "contains" in your condition you can achieve what you have expected.

I am trying to draw an NSAttributedString (actually, a constructed NSMutableAttributedString) where the "original" text has been struck and replacement text inserted above it (I'm trying to replicate the look/feel of an Ancient Greek manuscript).
My technique is a combination of NSBaselineOffsetAttributeName with NSKernAttributeName, but it appears that using a negative value for NSKernAttributeName "wipes away" the strikethrough of the text, even if the characters don't overlap.
If I put an extra space after the "A" character (in the original text), the "A" gets the strikethrough, but the "EI" is also offset to the right. So, it appears that the offset/kerning of the "EI" text affects how much of the strikethrough actually occurs.
Here's what I'd like to reproduce (I don't care about the angle; it's not about a picture-perfect reproduction; just the gist):
Here's what is currently happening:
This is when I add an extra space after the strikethrough:
So, the only other thing I can think of would be to render a separate NSAttributedString in the correct place, separate from the current one, but I have no idea how to calculate the location of a specific character in an NSAttributedString when it's drawn. I'm drawing to a PDF, not to any on-screen control like a UILabel. Alternatively, I could draw the "strikethrough" myself as a line, but that seems to still require knowing the coordinates for the text in question, which is calculated on-the-fly, and I hope to use this method to reproduce a large sample of ancient texts, which means doing it by hand just isn't a good answer here.
Anything I'm missing, or any out-of-the-box ideas to try?
There is a video on how to rotate an object around a point but I fail to select the text.
I wanted to do the same thing and saw your question before figuring this out.
1. The "Geogebra Way"
In the Algebra Perspective enter the following RotateText commands in the Input box at the bottom:
RotateText["Rotated text using degrees.", 45°]
RotateText["Rotated text using radians.", 0.785398]
In the Construction Protocol view, this is represented by
"rotatebox{45}{ \text{Rotated text using degrees.} }"
"rotatebox{44.9999999}{ \text{Rotated text using radians.} }"
Note that the radian form of the RotateText command is converted to degrees in the construction step. So this creates an graphical object that renders the text in a LaTeX "rotatebox". It's rather strange that the system doesn't have a tool to create rotateable text.
You can attach the text to an object via the object's Properties->Position->Starting Point. Only certain types of objects can be used, and the text can only be placed/moved underneath the object, which is odd. You can get around this by creating a line segment, attaching the rotateable text object to a desired end-point on the line segment above the location you want the final text, and then hiding the line segment.
2. A better, "undocumented" Geogebra method!
One can actually use LaTeX in captions of objects. Here's how you would enter the text:
$\rotatebox{45}{ \text{Rotated text using standard text box!} }$
A nice thing about this is the caption can be easily placed above the object. Notice that LaTeX commands are surrounded by the dollar sign. Also notice that there is a backslash as part of the \rotatebox command.
Also, one can use the standard text tool to do the same thing. This has the advantage that the text can be dynamic! Create some text anywhere. Then edit it's properties on the Text tab. Check the LaTeX checkbox, and enter the following for the text:
$\rotatebox{45}{ \text{} }$
Then inside the \text{} brackets, select an object. The text will be updated with the object's value. Or a combined form:
$\rotatebox{45}{ \text{"The value is:" + SliderObject} }$
I've tried to put an object in the "degreees" field, but could not get that to work.
Use the RotateText command like this:
RotateText("What ever text you want", angle)
I'm trying to put together a LaTeX color box. The xcolor package \fcolorbox seem to be what I want, but I can't get the rendering quite correct. When I use
\fcolorbox{black}{red}{}
it renders a small box sunken to the bottom of the text line. The best I've managed to do is to fake it with a similar text color:
\fcolorbox{black}{red}{\textcolor{red}{--}}
However, I'm worried that this won't render correctly in all situations with defined colors. Is there a way I can declare an empty text box with full in-line text height? Is there another solution?
I'm basically looking for the code that produces the color boxes all through the document at ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/xcolor.pdf. The boxes I'm referring to are used throughout, but the first instance is on page 4. Thanks.
The xcolor.dtx file in the same directory as the pdf contains the source for the package and the source for the documentation. The relevant bits from the source for the documentation:
\def\testclr#1#{\#testclr{#1}}
\def\#testclr#1#2{{\fboxsep\z#\fbox{\colorbox#1{#2}{\phantom{XX}}}}}
...
(Answer: 40\% \testclr{green} $+$ 60\% \testclr{yellow} $=$ \testclr{green!40!yellow}, e.g., |\color{green!40!yellow}|)
Basically, use \phantom{} on the contents of your color box, and make sure that at least one of the phantom characters is full-height.

I'm using ITextRange from a RichEdit control. I want to determine if a user's cursor is touching a word.
The problem is that calling iTextRange.expand(tomWord) will include tailing spaces:
Brackets indicate the range:
Before:
weas[]el .
After:
[weasel ].
My original plan was to expand the range, and check if it contained the cursor. But the user's cursor could be two spaces after "weasel", and the range will still expand to contain it. So what else can I do?
I can recall facing a similar problem: that is, how to select a word without selecting any trailing space. I think that code like this C++
textRange->StartOf(tomWord,tomMove,NULL);
textRange->MoveEnd(tomWord,1,NULL);
should give you the right selection, so that you can then test if the caret is in the selection.
I have some text and quotation marks around it, but I want each of them to be a different font to be replaced by sifr. The problem is that the quotes need to go exactly around the text, but the text once turned into an tag becomes a block and the text isn't shaped necessarily like a rectangle. I thought about having the quotes be background images of the replaced text, but only safari 3 supports multiple background images. Any suggestions?
I don't think Flash provides enough control over text elements to get this as precise as you'd like.
