Converts the color model to HLS

Syntax:

Remarks:

The ConvertToHLS method converts the active color model to the HLS color model in CorelDRAW. 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. 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).

Examples:

The following VBA example converts all uniform fill colors in the selected shapes to the HLS color model.

Sub Test()
Dim c As New color
Dim s As Shape
For Each s In ActiveSelection.Shapes
  If s.Fill.Type = cdrUniformFill Then

 s.Fill.UniformColor.ConvertToHLS
  End If
Next s 
End Sub
