Class Line
Page Summary
The Line object in Apps Script represents a line page element and provides methods to manipulate its properties and position.
You can align, move forward/backward, bring to front/back, duplicate, and remove a Line element.
Methods are available to get and set various properties of the line, including its start and end points, height, width, rotation, dash style, arrow styles, fill, weight, line category, and line type.
You can manage connections for the line, including getting and setting connection sites at the start and end, and rerouting connectors.
The Line object also supports setting and removing links, getting the page element type, parent group, parent page, and object ID.

Selects thePage in the active presentation.
A script can only access the selection of the user who is running the script, and only ifthe script isbound to the presentation.
Passtrue to this method to select only thePage and remove anyprevious selection. This also sets the parentPage of thePage as thecurrent page selection.
Passfalse to select multiplePage objects. ThePageobjects must be in the samePage.
The following conditions must be met while selecting a page element using afalseparameter:
- The parent
Pageof thePageobject must be theElement current page selection. - There should not be multiple
Pageobjects selected.
To make sure that’s the case the preferred approach is to select the parentPagefirst usingPage.selectAsCurrentPage() and then select the page elements in that page.
constslide=SlidesApp.getActivePresentation().getSlides()[0];// First select the slide page, as the current page selection.slide.selectAsCurrentPage();// Then select all the page elements in the selected slide page.constpageElements=slide.getPageElements();for(leti=0;i <pageElements.length;i++){pageElements[i].select(false);}
