Color Fill

Quick Reference to Scripting Command
a=COLORFILL(red, green, blue)
Items in CAPS are 0/1 switches or switches with more options than 0/1.

Operation Example - ellipse, "Caribou" I-Shape, Broad Edge Transparency applied to elliptical selection

The Color Fill operation will fill the selected area with the specified color. The color is altered by moving the Red, Green, and Blue sliders, or by entering the appropriate values in the provided text entry fields. As the sliders are moved you will be able to view the changes to the color in the sample color preview window. After you have the desired color, you can then fill areas in the current view.

This operator can use Pixel Transfer Modes to generate output image and layer data. These modes add a great deal of flexibility to what you can do with this operator. Only operators that create new image or layer data use pixel transfer modes. Also, plugins may use them if the plugin designer takes care to use the plugin masked write services.

Color Fill Controls

Trends

Some of the controls have a Trend button next to them. These trend buttons allow you to set variables over a series of frames. Each frame of any animation may be thought of as a slice of time. The trends allow you to alter some, all, or none of the variables for a particular time slice. Trend graphs have equidistantly spaced vertical lines. For animations under 100 frames in length, each of these lines represents a frame in the animation. The number of frames in any one sequence can be altered using the Sequence controls item from the Timeline pull down menu. Animation lengths of 100 - 999 frames will be represented with a vertical bar being 10 frames, and animation length greater than 1000 frames will have a vertical bar for every 100 frames.
