select( [existingSelection=SelectionOptions.REPLACE_WITH])

Selects the object.

existingSelection SelectionOptions The selection status of the GraphicLine in relation to previously selected objects. (Optional)

sendBackward( )

Sends the GraphicLine back one level in its layer.

sendToBack( [reference])

Sends the GraphicLine to the back of its layer or behind a particular item (must have same parent).

reference PageItem The reference object to send the object behind (Optional)

store( using [, withProperties]) → Asset

Stores the object in the specified library.

`using`	Library The library in which to store the object.
`withProperties`	Object Initial values for properties of the new GraphicLine (Optional)

subtractPath( with) → PageItem

Creates a new page item by subtracting the overlapping areas of the GraphicLine and other objects.

with Array<PageItem> The object(s) to subtract.

toSource( ) → string

Generates a string which, if executed, will return the GraphicLine.

toSpecifier( ) → string

Retrieves the object specifier.

transform( in, from, withMatrix, replacingCurrent [, consideringRulerUnits=false])

Transform the page item.

`in`	CoordinateSpaces The coordinate space to use
`from`	The temporary origin during the transformation. Can accept: Array of 2 Reals, AnchorPoint enumerator or Array of Arrays of 2 Reals, CoordinateSpaces enumerators, AnchorPoint enumerators, BoundingBoxLimits enumerators or Long Integers.
`withMatrix`	Transform matrix. Can accept: Array of 6 Reals or TransformationMatrix.
`replacingCurrent`	Transform components to consider; providing this optional parameter causes the target's existing transform components to be replaced with new values. Without this parameter, the given matrix is concatenated onto the target's existing transform combining the effect of the two. Can accept: MatrixContent enumerator, Array of MatrixContent enumerators or Long Integer. (Optional)
`consideringRulerUnits`	bool If true then a ruler based origin is interpreted using ruler units rather than points. The default value is false. This parameter has no effect unless the reference point is specified relative to a page. (Optional)

transformAgain( ) → string

Transforms the GraphicLine using the last transformation performed on any object. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.

transformAgainIndividually( ) → string

Transforms the GraphicLine using the last transformation performed on any GraphicLine. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.

transformSequenceAgain( ) → string

Transforms the GraphicLine using the last sequence of transform operations performed on any single object or performed at the same time on any group of objects. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.

transformSequenceAgainIndividually( ) → string

Transforms the GraphicLine using the last sequence of transformations performed on any single object or performed at the same time on any group of objects. Transformations include moving, rotating, shearing, scaling, and flipping.

transformValuesOf( in) → TransformationMatrix

Get the transformation values of the page item.

`in`	CoordinateSpaces The coordinate space to use
