Color.ConvertToCMY method

Converts the color model to CMY

Syntax:

Sub ConvertToCMY()

Remarks:

The ConvertToCMY method converts the active color model to the CMY color model in CorelDRAW.

A color is an effect applied to an object that alters the object's appearance by the way it reflects light. A color model is a system that defines the number and type of colors that make up an image and that is used to organize and define colors according to a set of basic properties that can be reproduced. Black-and-white, grayscale, RGB, CMYK, and paletted are examples of popular color modes.

CMY is a color mode made up of cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y). This mode is used in the three-color printing process. In Corel applications, the CMY mode is the inverse of the RGB mode, with values ranging from 0 to 255. The CMY color mode is based on the CMY color model.

Examples:

The following VBA example converts all uniform fill colors in the selected shapes to the CMY color model.

Sub Test()
  Dim c As New color
  Dim s As Shape
  For Each s In ActiveSelection.Shapes
    If s.Fill.Type = cdrUniformFill Then
      s.Fill.UniformColor.ConvertToCMY
    End If
  Next s
End Sub
