To build a document, you can add layers to a page, or add pages to a window. You can either create new layers or pages, or import existing layers or pages.
To add a new, empty edit layer to a page:
· Use the NewLayer transaction. For more information about the layer types, click Choosing an edit layer type.
An edit layer of the specified type is added on top of the specified page.
You have two options for importing existing layers onto a page. You can simply center a layer on a page without changing its size, or you can import a layer onto a specific area of a page.
To add an existing layer file (raster or edit) to a page:
· Use the ImportLayer transaction.
The specified layer file is centered on the page.
To import a layer into a particular region on a page:
· Use the ImportLayerToRegion transaction.
The layer is placed into the defined region on the page.
When a new layer is added to the current page through the user interface, Imagenation sends a NotifyIM -- NewLayer notification, if it has been registered.
To add a new, empty page at a particular location in a document:
· Use the NewPage transaction.
A blank page is added at the specified location.
To add an existing page at a particular location in a document:
· Use the ImportPage transaction.
The specified page is added to the document window at the specified location.
When a new page is added to the active document through the user interface, Imagenation sends a NotifyIM -- NewPage notification, if it has been registered.
