AIColor, swatch palette and AIArtHandles.

[Toto RoToTO]

For a given artwork, is there a way to retrieve all AIArtHandles, using a given AIColor (Fill, Stroke and Style) from the swatch palette?

I would like to do this without parsing the entire artwork tree, and checking style, fill and stroke of all AIArtHandles. (If it is possible).

The aim is to "index" the AIColor of the Artwork.

Thank,
Thomas.

I don't know if this will work, but you might try looking at GetArtForCurrentPathStyle() in AIMatchingArt.h. It's not quite what you're asking for, but you might be able to jimmy the current path style to get the matches you want, I'm not sure.

Also, if comes to having to parse the whole tree there's a function in AIPathStyle.h called ObjectUsesAIColor() that will check the object & and it's associated style for the colour in question. That might help if it comes to that.

Parsing sample codes in sdk, and according to your tips, i found how could i do do such operations.

Just take a look at SnippetRunner sample, and SnpLiveColor.
There are many samples of what to do with artwork's colors, and how to do.

for what i would like to do, i must use sAIPathStyle->AdjustObjectAIColors.

Thx. Thomas
