Can anyone explain the values of the matrix returned from the ITextFrame::GetMatrix() function (wrapper for sTextFrame->GetMatrix()).
The a,b, c and d values which represent the rotation (and possibly the shear deformation) are OK,
but I can't relate the tx and ty values to the position of the text object on the artboard.
As a test I tried the following code:
AIErr
CreatePointText( short paintOrder, AIArtHandle prep,
AIRealPoint *textPoint, AIArtHandle *newText)
{
AIError error;
error = sAITextFrame->NewPointText( paintOrder, prep,
kHorizontalTextOrientation,
textPoint, newText);
TextFrameRef ateTextRef;
error = sAITextFrame->GetATETextFrame( *newText, &ateTextRef);
ATE::ITextFrame ateText( ateTextRef);
AIRealMatrix matrix = (AIRealMatrix) ateText.GetMatrix();
}
But the tx and ty values returned in matrix are now both 0. They should equal textPoint.h and textPoint.v, shouldn't they?
