Document.ExportBitmap method

Exports a document to a supported raster file format

Syntax:

Function ExportBitmap(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal Filter As cdrFilter, Optional ByVal Range As cdrExportRange = cdrCurrentPage, Optional ByVal ImageType As cdrImageType = cdrRGBColorImage, Optional ByVal Width As Long = 0, Optional ByVal Height As Long = 0, Optional ByVal ResolutionX As Long = 72, Optional ByVal ResolutionY As Long = 72, Optional ByVal AntiAliasingType As cdrAntiAliasingType = cdrNormalAntiAliasing, Optional ByVal Dithered As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal Transparent As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal UseColorProfile As Boolean = True, Optional ByVal MaintainLayers As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal Compression As cdrCompressionType = cdrCompressionNone, Optional ByVal PaletteOptions As StructPaletteOptions = Nothing, Optional ByVal ExportArea As Rect = Nothing) As ExportFilter

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
FileName	String
Filter	cdrFilter
Range	cdrExportRange	Specifies the pages that are exported. You have the option of exporting all or several pages in a document, a single page in a document, or a selection of objects within a document. The Range parameter returns a value of cdrExportRange.
ImageType	cdrImageType	Specifies the image type being exported This value returns cdrImageType.
Width	Long	Specifies the height of the bitmap, measured in document units.
Height	Long	Specifies the height of the bitmap, measured in document units.
ResolutionX	Long	Specifies the numerical value that indicates the horizontal resolution level of an image that is exported.
ResolutionY	Long	Specifies the numerical value that indicates the vertical resolution level of an image that is exported.
AntiAliasingType	cdrAntiAliasingType	Specifies the value that indicates the appearance of a bitmap's edges when it is exported, and returns cdrAntiAliasingType.
Dithered	Boolean	Specifies whether the image is dithered when exported.
Transparent	Boolean	Specifies the transparency of the image.
UseColorProfile	Boolean	Specifies whether to use the color profile when exporting the image.
MaintainLayers	Boolean	Specifies whether to maintain layers.
Compression	cdrCompressionType	Specifies the type of compression to apply.
PaletteOptions	StructPaletteOptions	Specifies the set of options to apply when exporting to a paletted bitmap.
ExportArea	Rect	Specifies the export area.

Remarks:

The ExportBitmap method exports the document to another file format and returns an ExportFilter object. This function uses the StructPaletteOptions object to specify image conversion parameters. The ExportBitmap method is essentially equivalent to the Document.ExportEx method, except that the parameters specified as part of StructExportOptions in the call to ExportEx are specified as "in-line" for the call to ExportBitmap. It is more convenient for exporting bitmap images; however, ExportBitmap can still be used to export vector format, if desired.

Examples:

The following VBA example exports the new document to JPEG.

Sub Test()
Dim d As Document
Dim s As Shape
Dim Filter As ExportFilter
Set d = CreateDocument
Set s = d.ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(4, 5, 2)
s.Fill.ApplyFountainFill CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0), CreateRGBColor(0, 0, 0)
Set Filter = d.ExportBitmap("C:\Temp\Doc.jpeg", cdrJPEG, cdrCurrentPage, _
  cdrRGBColorImage, 0, 0, 72, 72)
With Filter
  .Compression = 80
  .Optimized = True
  .Smoothing = 50
  .SubFormat = 1
  .Progressive = False
  .Finish
End With 
End Sub
