You can tell a layer to make a shape:
Code:
tell canvas of front window
tell layer 1
make new shape at end of graphics with properties {draws stroke:false, fill:no fill, origin:theOrigin, vertical padding:0, autosizing:full, size:{180.0, 13.0}, text:{text:theLine, size:11}, side padding:1, draws shadow:false}
end tell
end tell
(each layer has its own
graphics collection)
