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. A simple line is represented as a PolyLine with <NumPoints 2>. 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. It can appear at the top level or in a Page or Frame statement. 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. Text lines cannot contain paragraph formats, markers, variables, cross-references, or elements. ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 6. 0 130 MIF Document Statements Syntax <TextLine Generic object statements <TLOrigin X Y> <TLAlignment keyword> Information common to all objects (see page 111) Alignment point origin Alignment keyword can be one of: Center Left Right <TLLanguage keyword> Spell checking and hyphenation language for text line; for list of allowed keywords, see PgfLanguage on page 76 Nonprinting ASCII character code Embedded font change (see "PgfFont and Font statements" on page 78) Printable ASCII text in single quotation marks; required End of TextLine statement <Char integer> <Font. . . > <String string> > Usage The TLOrigin statement specifies the baseline (Y) and the left, center, or right edge of the text line (X), depending on TLAlignment. The text line is rotated by the value specified in an Angle statement. A TextLine statement contains one or more String statements. Each String statement is preceded by an optional Font statement. [. . . ] Op codes are listed by number and description. The op code number is shown in parentheses. Note that these styles remain in place until another style op code resets the style.
