Scripting Illustrator
At this point, you should have a good idea of what scripting is and how it works. We are ready

Illustrator's object model
A good understanding of Illustrator's object model will improve your scripting abilities.
Figure
3.1, "Adobe Illustrator Scripting Object Model"

text classes can contain additional objects of the same class which can in turn contain
additional nested objects.
Note: For the text area of the object model, see Figure
3.3, "Adobe Illustrator Scripting —
