# This is a reimplementation of the Arrange| Abut Vertical command. It
# is of course very similar to the abut_horizontal script, but this
# script is implemented as an advanced script that has to take care of
# undo information.
# The only new concept introduced here, compared to what is described in
# abut_horizontal.py, is how to handle undo information in an advanced
# script.
#
# In Sketch, every method that modifies an object returns an undo
# information object. The structure of this object is irrelevant here,
# the only important thing to know is that it stores all information
# necessary to undo the changes that the method performed.
#
# In most cases, an advanced script simply passes any undo information
# it receives from a method _immediately_ to the document method
# AddUndo(). Passing it to the document object _immediately_ is
# importan, because if an error occurs and an exception is thrown, the
# changes already performed have to be undone to make sure that the
# document is in a consistent state again.
#
# For more infomation about undo handling in Sketch, see the developer's
# manual and the Sketch sources, in particular the plugin objects in
# Plugins/Objects.
#
# I don't think that you'll ever have to do anything with undo info
# other than passing it immediately to the document, but under some
# circumstances it might be necessary to influence the order in which
# undo info is executed when the user selects the undo command or even
# discard the undo info you get from the methods you called and replace
# it with completely new undo info that still undoes the changes but at
# a higher level.
