PrintPostScript.OptimizeFountainFills property

Specifies whether the number of fountain steps should be automatically decreased for short color transitions

Syntax:

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

Remarks:

The OptimizeFountainFills property returns or specifies a Boolean (True or False) value that indicates whether the print engine decreases the number of fountain steps. A value of True sets the print engine to make the decrease if necessary.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a rectangle, fills it with a conical fountain fill with 256 steps, specifies the OptimizeFountainFills property as True, and 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, , 256
  With ActiveDocument
    .PrintSettings.PostScript.OptimizeFountainFills = True
    .PrintOut
  End With
End Sub
