Color.ConvertToBW

Sub ConvertToBW()

Description

Member of Color

The ConvertToBW method converts the active color model to the black-and-white 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 black-and-white color model is a 1-bit color mode that stores images as two solid colors — black and white — with no gradations. This color mode is useful for line art and simple graphics.

VBA example

The following VBA example converts all uniform fill colors in the selected shapes to the black and-white 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.ConvertToBW
  End If
 Next s
End Sub
