What query methods are supported for outlines?

You can perform queries that filter the outline properties of shapes on a page or layer.

To access the methods and properties of the current object, you must prepend the method or property name with the at sign ( @ ). Thus, @width calls the width method of the current object for which the expression is evaluated.

Expressions can be called without specifying the current object. In this case, the @ operator is unavailable.

Outline queries can return values of any of the other supported query object types (see the section “What can be queried?”).

The following query methods are supported for outlines:
