Watermarks with Ruby?

Methinks there is no way to do it. I'll check.

No can do. The good news is that it's on the slate for V7.

ToddCan watermarks be manipulated via Ruby in V7? I would like to do so if it's possible. Now that Sketchup V7 is out.

Now, don't laugh, but I would have to actually download and install SU V7 to be able to answer that question.

OK. Please don't laugh back at me; I am new to Ruby in Sketchup. As I have installed SU V7, what steps should I take to investigate whether there might be watermark manipulation support in V7?
I browsed the API documentation at http://code.google.com/apis/sketchup/docs/developers_guide/index.html, but saw nothing obviously related to watermark images. It is unclear to me what version of Sketchup those docs refer to.
Can I view current API documentation from within Sketchup?

If you go to Help -> Ruby Help inside SketchUp, that should take you to the V7 ruby doc. You could perhaps figure out how to code up a google search to scan the online help doc for "watermark". I'm sure there's a way to do it.

I don't think the version 7 docs are out yet. And there is no link to Ruby Help fromt he help menu, at least on my machine. As far as I know, we're all still using ther version 6 docs.

Believe me I have summoned arcane google magicks to find information about managing watermarks in sketchup ruby. But I have failed in my quest. Plus, as Chris Fulmer pointed out, there is no "Help->Ruby Help" menu in my sketchup (version 7.0.8657)
Perhaps I could hijack this otherwise stale thread to ask for more general advice about what I would like to do: I am interested in getting access to the images used as backgrounds in the scene tabs that are created when using the "match photo" feature. Are these images even watermarks? I foolishly imagine that I will be able to create additional photo matching features if I can gain access to these images. One thing I would like to do is use Overlay watermarks in addition to Background watermarks for photo matching. Including automatically varying transparency/visibility during the photo matching work flow. Are there already existing "match photo on steroids" tools available?
