Summary0017298: Add functions for getting and setting the size of the current page, and getting the bounding box of a page item
DescriptionI was writing a script for "cropping" a document to a set of elements and realised that we were missing functions for getting and setting the page size. There is a `getPageSize`, but only for getting the document setting.

While calculating the bounds to crop to I also noticed that we don't have a way to get the actual size of an item if it has been rotated, getSize always returns the size pre-transform.

* getCurrentPageSize() -> (width, height) - get the size of the current page
* setCurrentPageSize(width, height) - changes the size of the current page
* getBoundingBox() -> (x, y, width, height) - get the bounding box of a page item
Additional InformationExample of what I did whith these functions. The idea is that the elements we want to crop to would be named with a common prefix, f.ex. "A1_Headline".

import scribus

def extractObjects(prefix):
    all = scribus.getAllObjects()
    names = []

    # Collect all page items that have the name prefix, delete all others.
    for name in all:
        if not name.startswith(prefix):
            scribus.deleteObject(name)
        else:
            names.append(name)

    if len(names) == 0:
        raise Exception("unknown prefix")

    # Delete pages until only the page containing our page items remain.
    page = scribus.getItemPageNumber(names[0])+1
    while scribus.pageCount() > 1:
        page = scribus.getItemPageNumber(names[0])+1

        for i in range(1, scribus.pageCount()+1):
            if i == page:
                continue
            
            scribus.deletePage(i)
            break
    
    bounds = False

    # Get the bounding box for the page items.
    for name in names:
        x, y, width, height = scribus.getBoundingBox(name)

        print(f"{name} {x},{y} {width}x{height}")
        
        if not bounds:
            bounds = BoundingRect(x, y, width, height)
        else:
            bounds.extend(x, y, width, height)
        print(bounds)

    # We're going to move the page items to the top left of the page, make sure
    # that the baseline offset remains the same relative to the moved
    # frames.
    gridV, gridOff = scribus.getBaseLine()
    gridOff += gridV-(bounds.y%gridV)
    scribus.setBaseLine(gridV, gridOff)

    for name in names:
        scribus.moveObject(-bounds.x, -bounds.y, name)

    # Crop to content.
    scribus.setCurrentPageSize(bounds.width, bounds.height)

class BoundingRect:
    def __init__(self, x, y, width, height):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
        self.width = width
        self.height = height

    def extend(self, x, y, width, height):
        new_x_min = min(self.x, x)
        new_y_min = min(self.y, y)
        new_x_max = max(self.x + self.width, x + width)
        new_y_max = max(self.y + self.height, y + height)
        
        self.x = new_x_min
        self.y = new_y_min
        self.width = new_x_max - new_x_min
        self.height = new_y_max - new_y_min

    def __repr__(self):
        return f"BoundingRect(x={self.x}, y={self.y}, width={self.width}, height={self.height})"

Ideally, the change page size code should be able to be very simple from scripter.. and call ScribusDoc::changePageProperties somehow, I need to check with Jean on that one.

Did you get anywhere with finding a simpler way to change the size of the current page?

To be clear, we are talking about this function, right?

PyObject *scribus_setcurrentpagesize(PyObject* /* self */, PyObject* args)
{
    double width, height;
    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "dd", &width, &height))
        return nullptr;
    if (!checkHaveDocument())
        return nullptr;
                                                                            
    ScribusDoc* currentDoc = ScCore->primaryMainWindow()->doc;
    ScribusView* currentView = ScCore->primaryMainWindow()->view;
    ScPage* currentPage = currentDoc->currentPage();
                                                                            
    if (currentPage == nullptr)
        return nullptr;
                                                                            
    currentPage->setWidth(ValueToPoint(width));
    currentPage->setHeight(ValueToPoint(height));
                                                                            
    currentView->reformPagesView();
    currentView->DrawNew();
                                                                            
    Py_RETURN_NONE;
}
