Creating an anchor programmatically?
03 February 2016 09:34
As far as I see, there's no API to neither copy or create an anchor programmatically.
Creating a pool of EMPTY objects and re-using 'em would probably work, but I just wonder if there's at least theoretical possibility to create and dispose anchors via javascript?

Hello,
Copying anchors and other EMPTY-objects is really not possible at the moment. We've added this feature to our TODO-list and it will be available in the nearest release or in 16.03.

Currently, I decided to temporarily use internal API (approach is not changes-aware, I know):
var m_obj_utils_i = b4w.require("__obj_util");
var m_anchors_i = b4w.require("__anchors");
var m_cons_i = b4w.require("__constraints");
var info = m_obj_utils_i.create_object("info", "EMPTY", "");
info.anchor = {
type: "ANNOTATION",
detect_visibility: false,
element_id: null,
max_width: 250
};
info.render = m_obj_utils_i.create_render("EMPTY");
m_anchors_i.append(info);

That's an interesting solution. ![]( "smiling")
Anyway, we'll write about the feature in this thread when it is available.
