My most recent blog post on drawing paths in Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop (here) was an interesting exercise for me. In the process of writing the drawing routines, I made several mistakes, found that things I assumed to be true were, in fact, false.
I’ve solved the various problems and have created a workaround or two. I thought it might be useful for other CS Extension developers if I documented the problems and solutions. This way, you can learn from my mistakes. I make lots of mistakes, so it would be nice if we could get some use out of them.
In this article, I’ll show solutions for some of the problems I left unresolved in the previous post. For the most part, they weren’t critical to the point of the post, but it’s nice to tie up the loose ends. I’ve posted an updated version of the project here (this contains all of the code changes discussed in this post):
