Gradient, Patterns, and Raster image Resolution

[SASEKUMAR]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to list count of gradient and patterns, ppi value of raster images. If i try to retrieve the count of gradient and patterns,

it lists unused gradrients and patterns. Please help me to list out count which shows in document info.

Here is the code i tried:

//Pattern count

ai::int32 idPatternCount = 0;

sAIPattern->CountPatterns(&idPatternCount);

//Gradient count

ai::int32 idGradientsCount = 0;

sAIGradient->CountGradients(&idGradientsCount);

In the API document, i am not able to find the method to retrieve raster image PPI. Please help me on this.

Regards,

Selva

You can calculate it by using the function GetRasterInfo at Raster Suite. The bounds of the AIRasterRecord - size of raster object in pixels.

CountPatterns() & CountGradients just tell you what's in the document pattern & gradient lists, so it makes sense that wouldn't be helpful. I don't think there's anything in the API that lets you know what's 'in use' for anything like that, including symbols or graphic styles as well.

Is there any other way to get used patterns and gradients count.

It is possible, for example, maybe to remove unused by PlayActionEvent and then count

There is no menu optios to select unsed gradients and patterns. Can you please help me with sample code to select and remove unsed gradients and patterns.

Gradients and patterns - is also swatches. So, perhaps, you can remove unused swatches and then CountGradients and CountPatterns?

Have you tried to work as a functions ValidatePattern and ValidateGradient?

I tried ValidatePattern and ValidateGradient, it lists both used and unused the patterns and gradients.
