Displaying grid

[_Richard_Waverley_]

hey guys

i have developed a c# application i visual studio that uses the

Adobe illustrator cs3 type library

so far i have managed to get the program to do the following

1. load illustrato
2. load an image
3. live trace around the image
4. copy the resulting image to the users clipboard

any idea how i can overlay a grid onto the image in illustrator and interrogate the image pixel by pixel.

anyone know if there is any documentation for this, i cant find anything in the sdk

cheers

Well, I suppose you could construct the grid manually -- that's probably not that hard if you know the dimensions in page units of where you want to place the grid.

To interrogate pixel-by-pixel? Trickier, since Illustrator doesn't have any notion of pixels exposed -- it's pure vector. I can only imagine you'd have to rasterize what you have there and then inspect *that*.
