Adobe FRAMEMAKER 10 - Graphic Objects and Graphic Frames

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 10
MIF Reference

Usage
Master and reference page names (supplied by the PageTag statement) appear in the status bar of a document
window. The
PageBackground statement names the master page to use as the background for a body page. A value
of
Default tells FrameMaker to use the right master page for single-sided documents and to alternate between the
right and left master pages for a two-sided document. For more information about applying master page layouts to
body pages, see “Specifying page layout” on page 31.
A page of type
HiddenPage contains the document’s hidden conditional text. (See “How FrameMaker writes a
conditional document” on page 42.)
A page’s size and orientation (landscape or portrait) is determined by the
PageAngle statement and the Document
substatement
DPageSize. If DPageSize defines a portrait page (one whose height is greater than its width), pages
with an angle of 0 or 180 degrees are portrait; pages with an angle of 90 or 270 degrees are landscape. If
DPageSize
defines a landscape page (one whose width is greater than its height), pages with an angle of 0 or 180 degrees are
landscape; pages with an angle of 90 or 270 degrees are portrait.
The filter statements are not generated by FrameMaker. When it reads a MIF file generated by a filter, the MIF inter-
preter uses these statements to set up columns and text flows on master pages.
Graphic objects and graphic frames
In a FrameMaker document, graphic objects can appear directly on a page or within a graphic frame. The following
objects are considered graphic objects:
• Anchored and unanchored frames
• Text frame s
• Text lines
• Objects created with the drawing tools on the Tools palette: arcs, arrows, ellipses, polygons, polylines, rectangles,
and rounded rectangles
