Hi,

I am trying to obtain the offset of an image item within it's containing frame. i.e. if I set the top left co-ordiante to be x:10pt , y:10pt
I need to obtain this programatically.

I have tried using Both the ITransformSuite and ITransformFacade without much luck. The values I am getting are not what I expect.

I.e.

      K2Vector<PMReal> i_x; K2Vector<PMReal> i_y;






      Utils<Facade::ITransformFacade>()->GetItemsTranslation( UIDList( imageRef
      ), Transform::InnerCoordinates(), &i_x, &i_y );




always gives me 0,0 ( as you would expect ).

      Transform::ParentCoordinates()




Gives me a value but it doesn't seem to be relative to the top left of the containing image item.

The strange thing is that if I create 2 image frames and import the same image, I get different values for the positions within the parent ( even if the positions of the images within their respective frames are the same in the InDesign"Control" panel ).
But if I create a box and duplicate it and then import the images, I get the same values for the offsets ( although they are still not what I expect ).
This difference seems to be related to the original position a box is drawn with on the spread.

Ultimately, I would like to obtain the scale, rotation, skew and offset of an image and then apply those same criteria to another image ( possibly on another document ).

TIA,

Mike.
