<dd><code>setGradientFill(type, "color1", shade1, "color2", shade2, ["name"])</code>
<p>Sets the gradient fill of the object "name" to type. Color descriptions are the same as for <a href="#-setFillColor">setFillColor</a>() and <a href="#-setFillShade">setFillShade</a>(). See the constants for available types (FILL_<type>).</p></dd>
<dt><a name="-setGradientStop"><strong>setGradientStop</strong></a>(...)</dt>
<dd><code>setGradientStop("color", shade, opacity, ramppoint, ["name"])</code>
<p>Set or add a gradient stop to the gradient fill of the object \"name\" at position ramppoint. Color descriptions are the same as for <a href="#-setFillColor">setFillColor</a>() and <a href="#-setFillShade">setFillShade</a>(). setGradientFill() must have been called previously for the gradient fill to be visible.</p></dd>

<dt><a name="-scaleImage"><strong>scaleImage</strong></a>(...)</dt>
<dd><code>scaleImage(x, y [, "name"])</code>
<p>Sets the internal scaling factors of the picture in the image frame "name". If "name" is not given the currently selected item is used. A number of 1 means 100 %. Internal scaling factors are different from the values shown on properties palette. Note : deprecated, use setImageScale() instead.</p>
<p>May raise <a href="scripterapi.html#WrongFrameTypeError">WrongFrameTypeError</a> if the target frame is not an image frame</p></dd>
<dt><a name="-setImageScale"><strong>setImageScale</strong></a>(...)</dt>
<dd><code>setImageScale(x, y [, "name"])</code>
<p>Sets the scaling factors of the picture in the image frame "name". If "name" is not given the currently selected item is used. A number of 1 means 100 %. Scaling factors are equal to the values shown on properties palette.</p>

<dt><a name="-setImageOffset"><strong>setImageOffset</strong></a>(...)</dt>
<dd><code>setImageOffset(x, y [, "name"])</code>

<dt><a name="-unlinkTextFrames"><strong>unlinkTextFrames</strong></a>(...)</dt>
<dd><code>unlinkTextFrames("name")</code>
<p>Remove the specified (named) object from the text frame flow/linkage. If the frame was in the middle of a chain, the previous and next frames will be connected, eg 'a->b->c' becomes 'a->c' when you <a href="#-unlinkTextFrames">unlinkTextFrames</a>(b)'</p>
<p>May throw <a href="#ScribusException">ScribusException</a> if linking rules are violated.</p></dd>
