[scribus-dev] couple of questions

[Craig Bradney]

Hi

I've been doing some scribus programming and have 2 questions:

Attach patches to feature requests on bugs.scribus.net

> #2 This has to do with some of the python code.   I'm looking at 5.2 code.   I've noticed that in cmdobj the function scribus_newtext does not create the text frame like it did in the 4 series.   These parameters:

>    ValueToPoint(h),

I’m missing context here. How are they not working right? Try using x,y,w,h in points to ensure there is no conversion issue there.

Are you actually coding in the main code, in the scripter plugin or writing a python script?
