Number	read/write	The angle of a linear gradient applied to the fill of the PageItemDefault. (Range: -180 to 180)
Number	read/write	The angle of a linear gradient applied to the stroke of the PageItemDefault. (Range: -180 to 180)
Boolean	readonly	Returns true if the object specifier resolves to valid objects.
