Bitmap class
Syntax:
Class Bitmap
Remarks:
The Bitmap class represents the bitmap-specific settings for a shape (or Shape object).
Properties:
Name Description
BoundingBoxPath Returns the uncropped read-only bitmap bounding box curve
CropEnvelope Returns the bitmap clipping path curve
CropEnvelopeModified Returns True if the bitmap's clipping path has been modified
Cropped Returns True if the bitmap can be cropped
Duotone Returns the duotone settings of the bitmap
Embedded Returns True if the bitmap is embedded into the document
ExternalLinkTime Gets the original time stamp of the file to which the bitmap is linked externally
ExternallyLinked Gets the status of a bitmap: externally linked or embedded
Image Returns the image data of the bitmap shape
ImageAlpha Returns the image data of the bitmap's transparency softmask. If the bitmap is not transparent, returns Nothing.
IsEPS Returns True if the bitmap is an EPS placeholder
LinkFileName Gets the file name of the externally linked bitmap
Mode Gets the color mode of the bitmap
OPILinked Returns True if the bitmap is linked to an OPI file
ResolutionX Gets the bitmap's horizontal resolution
ResolutionY Gets the bitmap's vertical resolution
SizeHeight Gets the bitmap's vertical size (height)
SizeWidth Gets the bitmap's horizontal size (width)
Transparent Returns True if the bitmap is transparent
Watermarked Returns True if the bitmap has a watermark
Methods:
Name Description
ApplyBitmapEffect Applies the specified bitmap effect
ConvertTo Changes the bitmap color mode
ConvertToBW Converts the bitmap to black and white color mode
ConvertToDuotone Converts the bitmap to duotone color mode
ConvertToPaletted Converts the bitmap to a paletted image using the specified parameters
ConvertToPaletted2 Converts the bitmap to a paletted image using the specified parameters
Crop Crops the bitmap to its clipping path
Inflate Inflates a bitmap
Resample Resamples the bitmap
ResetCropEnvelope Removes a clipping path from a bitmap and resets its envelope to a bounding box rectangle
ResolveLink Embeds an externally linked bitmap
SaveAs Saves the bitmap to the specified file and returns the filter object
SetImageData Specifies a new image data for the bitmap as well as optional transparency softmask. The optional OffsetX and OffsetY parameters allow to offset the bitmap shape by the specified number of pixels to compensate for changed image size.
Trace Converts the bitmap into vector objects
UpdateLink Updates an externally linked bitmap from its source
