TYPE/i Gets the object type.
PAGENUMBER/s Gets the full page number path.
ROTATION/a Gets the rotation.
ABOUT/a Gets the rotation point.
CONSTRAIN/s Gets the proportional scale flag state.
PRINT/s Gets the print flag state.
LOCK Gets the object lock flag state.
BOUNDINGBOX Gets the bounding box of the object(s).
DOCUMENT/s The document name. Default=current.
WINDOW/s The window name. Default=current.

ROTATION stem
slant/d The slant angle.
twist/d The twist angle.
ABOUT stem
mode/k The rotation point: POINT | CENTER.
x/d The point's horizontal coordinate.
y/d The point's vertical coordinate.
CONSTRAIN string/k The constrain flag: ON | OFF.
PRINT string/k The print flag: ON | OFF.
LOCK/k The lock flag: ON | OFF.
BOUNDINGBOX stem
left/d The left coordinate.
top/d The top coordinate.
right/d The right coordinate.
bottom/d The bottom coordinate.
Notes:
BOUNDINGBOX: the bounding box includes the stroke thickness of objects, and is expanded to contain rotated objects.
Examples:
getobject constrain cflag print pflag say 'The proportional scale flag is '||cflag say 'The print flag is '||pflag
