Hey everyone,
Does anyone know of a macro that will do the following or could create one if it's easy enough?
I've looked online but can't seem to find one that could do this.
I'm thinking this might need a menu as it would need some user input or something that could be changed within the code if that's easier.
1) Look at page size and make a frame or work area that is .25" within the boundaries of the page -
Note: this isn't an actual frame that would need to be kept for use, just somehow tell the macro to work within the .25" inside the boundaries of the page itself
2.) Create set number of random size squares or rectangles within the frame area created in #1 above.
Note: I'm thinking the menu would allow the user to input the number of squares/rectangles to create & also have a section to input the horizontal/vertical distance between them
Thanks SO much for your time!
I'm basically trying to have a macro create random squares/rectangles that would mimic the interior pages of a comic book.
Now that I'm thinking about it, I think the macro would also have to allow for a minimum & maximum height/width of each square/rectangle?
You wouldn't want it creating one that is way too small to draw anything in.
I hope this helps visualize what I'm looking for.
Thanks!!
It could not do the whole job automagically, but my Windowpaner macro could be used to do some of the donkey work of creating those sorts of frame layouts.
For the picture you show, it could do the left hand page all in one operation. For the right hand page, it would take three operations.
Hi Eskimo!
I would only need it to do one page at a time and I wouldn't need them side by side as seen in the example image.
Just single pages and each page created one at a time.
Also, 3 operations is totally fine
This would be able to create random ones?

That macro doesn't offer any randomization.
It just creates equally-sized rectangles (or lines, or guidelines) based on the specified area, number of panes, and margin and gutter settings.
