Parameters:

Remarks:
The CMYAssign method assigns the CMY color model in CorelDRAW. All three color components are applied in one step, and the color model is set to CMY. 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 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.CMYAssign 255, 100, 100 
End Sub
