r/wThe point in the anchored object to position.
anchorSpaceAboveMeasurement Unit (Number or String) r/wThe space above an above-line anchored object.
anchorXoffsetMeasurement Unit (Number or String) r/wThe horizontal (x) offset of the anchored object.
anchorYoffsetMeasurement Unit (Number or String) r/wThe vertical (y) offset of the anchored object. Corresponds to the space after property for above line positioning.
anchoredPositionAnchorPosition:
AnchorPosition.INLINE_POSITION
AnchorPosition.ABOVE_LINE
AnchorPosition.ANCHORED
r/wThe position of the anchored object relative to the anchor.
eventListenersEventListeners readonlyA collection of event listeners.
eventsEvents readonlyA collection of events.
horizontalAlignmentHorizontalAlignment:
HorizontalAlignment.RIGHT_ALIGN
HorizontalAlignment.LEFT_ALIGN
HorizontalAlignment.CENTER_ALIGN
HorizontalAlignment.TEXT_ALIGN
r/wWhen anchored position is above line, the position of the anchored object is relative to the text area. When anchored position is custom, the horizontal alignment of the anchored object is set by the horizontal reference point. Note: Not valid when anchored position is inline.
horizontalReferencePointAnchoredRelativeTo:
AnchoredRelativeTo.COLUMN_EDGE
AnchoredRelativeTo.TEXT_FRAME
AnchoredRelativeTo.PAGE_MARGINS
AnchoredRelativeTo.PAGE_EDGE
AnchoredRelativeTo.ANCHOR_LOCATION
r/wThe horizontal reference point on the page. Valid only when anchored position is custom.
isValidbool readonlyReturns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects.
lockPositionbool r/wIf true, prevents manual positioning of the anchored object.
