3.11.1 Defining selections
To create a new selection, use the
select
method with a type of
replaced
(psReplaceSelection/SelectionType.REPLACED)
. The other selection types are
diminished, extended
and
intersected
.
The
diminished
type will shrink the current selection, the
extended
selection type will
grow the current selection, and the
intersected
type will find the intersection of the current
selection and the new selection and replace the current selection with the intersection of the
two.
If there is no intersection between the selections, the new selection will be empty. If there is no
current selection, the new selection will be the newly specified selection.
Here are examples of how to replace the current selection:
AS:
select current document region {{ 5, 5}, {5, 100}, ¬
{ 80, 100}, { 80, 5}} combination type replaced
