PrintPostScript.AutoIncreaseFountainSteps property

Specifies whether the number of fountain steps should be automatically increased for long color transitions

Syntax:

Property Get AutoIncreaseFountainSteps() As Boolean
Property Let AutoIncreaseFountainSteps(ByVal Value As Boolean)

Remarks:

The AutoIncreaseFlatness property specifies a Boolean (True or False) value that indicates whether the print engine increases the number of fountain steps to reduce banding. A value of True sets the print engine to make the increase if necessary.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a rectangle and fills it with a a conical fountain fill. After it specifies AutoIncreaseFountainSteps as True, it prints the document.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(2, 4, 6, 8)
  s.Fill.ApplyFountainFill CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0), CreateRGBColor(0, 255, 0), cdrConicalFountainFill, , 4
  With ActiveDocument
    .PrintSettings.PostScript.AutoIncreaseFountainSteps = True
    .PrintOut
  End With
End Sub
