Description

The CT GET TEXT ATTRIBUTES command returns the text attributes of the text specified by area and scope in the fontID, size, style, color, and justification parameters.

fontID is the ID of the font in your system. You can get the ID number of a font using the CT Font number function.

fontSize is the size in points of the highlighted text or text object(s).

style is a composite number that results from the addition of several style numbers. The following table lists the style numbers:

ValueStyle
0Plain
1Bold
2Italic

8Outlined
16Shadowed

color is a long integer that specifies the color of the object. You can specify a value for the color parameter by using the CT Index to color or the CT RGB to color functions.

justification is the justification of the text.

Note: This command should be used to get the attributes of text added to a document using the Text tool or the CT Draw text function. To get the attributes of chart text, such as axis labels, use the commands in the Chart theme.

Example

This example returns the attributes of the selected text object in the $Font, $Size, $Style, $Color, and $Justify variables.
