Sub HLSAssign(Hue As Long, Lightness As Long, Saturation As Long)
Member of Color
The HLSAssign method assigns the HLS color model in CorelDRAW. All three color components are applied in one step, and the color model is set to HLS.
A color is an effect applied to an object that alters the objects 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.
The HLS model is a variation of the HSB model and contains three components: hue, lightness, and saturation. Hue determines color (yellow, orange, red, etc.), lightness determines perceived intensity (lighter or darker color), and saturation determines color depth (from dull to intense). The circular visual selector defines the H value (0 to 360) and the S value (0 to 100); the vertical visual selector defines the L value (0 to 100).
The following VBA example creates an ellipse on the active layer in the current document.
Sub LayerActive() |
ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse 3, 3, 2, 1 |
ActiveDocument.Selection.Shapes(1).Fill.UniformColor.HLSAssign 200, 100, 100 |
End Sub |
