Member Data Documentation
Breaks artwork up into individual parts, creating a set of objects with equivalent appearance.
This is the same as calling the newer AIExpandSuite::Expand() with the flags kExpandPattern and kExpandGradientToPaths.
- Parameters:
-
| art | The art object.
- For path art with a fill of CMYK or RGB color, has no effect.
- For artwork filled with a gradient, breaks the artwork up into
steps number of objects between each of the gradients stops. The resulting artwork contains a mask.
- For text art, turns the text into outlines.
- For stroked objects, outlines the stroke and creates a closed path. This is especially useful for art objects created using brushes.
- For objects filled with a pattern, draws the entire pattern tile on the page with the original object acting as a mask.
|
| steps | For artwork filled with a gradient, the number of objects to create between gradient stops. For example an artwork with four stops and a steps value of 2 results in an artwork that has two steps between each of the four stops. |
- See also:
AIExpandSuite::Expand() for a version with additional options.
