Changing text spacing properties

[Nealo]

I'm trying to change the line spacing on some API generated text. There doesn't seem to be a way to do it with current JS API, but is there a way to add it using the old API?

var text = group.newText({alignment: NSTextAlignmentCenter, text:copy, fixedWidth: true, font: NSFont.fontWithName_size_("Gotham HTF Book", 68.5)})

After looking at the code for the Sketch Set Line Height plugin, I tried using text.lineHeight() and text.setLineHeight() to no success. They come back saying those functions do not exist.

Any ideas? If there's a way to do it we can see about adding it to the JS API

if you want to use old API calls on a new API object, you need to use sketchObject e.g.

var sketch = context.api();
var document = sketch.selectedDocument
var page = document.selectedPage
var layer = page.newText({alignment: NSTextAlignmentCenter, systemFontSize: 36, text:"Hello World"})
layer.sketchObject.setLineHeight(50)

http://www.sketchplugins.com is the official forum for plugin dev questions, although I guess this issue is also a request to add something to the new API (but there is a lot missing :p)
