Class IncludeObject

All Implemented Interfaces:
Streamable

public class IncludeObject extends AbstractNamedAFPObject
An Include Object structured field references an object on a page or overlay. It optionally contains parameters that identify the object and that specify presentation parameters such as object position, size, orientation, mapping, and default color.

Where the presentation parameters conflict with parameters specified in the object's environment group (OEG), the parameters in the Include Object structured field override. If the referenced object is a page segment, the IOB parameters override the corresponding environment group parameters on all data objects in the page segment.
