Image location in IDML file?

Question

I am creating an IDML file by using the properties from a MIF file. I have an Image object in MIF file. Its location is represented by using Left, Top, Height and Width. But in IDML file location representations are different. How can I include Image location in IDML file?

Answer 1

Have you read the specification? Try example 15!
Have you exported an sample Indesign document?
Coordinates are pasteboard (not spread) coodinates in units of points,
per section 10.3.3. You need not apply any transformation and can use
the identity, ItemTransform="1 0 0 1 0 0." But you could do othre
things if you wanted to.
Your PathPoint anchors will correspond to the 4 corners. So you'll use
Left for the X values of the upper-left and lower-left corners, top
for the Y values of hte upper-left and upper-right corners, and
sum Left+Width for the X values of the right corners and sum Top+Height
for hte Y values of the bottom corners.
This is pretty well-documented stuff. Please take the time to read the
documentation before asking for help.
