Variable Outline Code Examples

Posted 12-03-2023 at 14:47 by shelbym

Introduction

CorelDRAW 2023 has a new Variable Outline Tool. You can also apply a variable outline via code. :-) I have put together a number of VBA examples of how this works. Hopefully you will find these useful.

Code:

Sub TestAddVariableWidthNodes()
    Dim sLine As Shape
    
    Set sLine = ActiveLayer.CreateLineSegment(2, 8, 2, 5)
    sLine.Outline.VariableWidthNodes.Add 0.25, 0.125
    sLine.Outline.VariableWidthNodes.Add 0.5, 0.25

Corel has released a new version of CorelDRAW. With the move to the subscription model they have dropped the year version from the name of the appliction but it still installs to a year folder, so for now I will continue to call is 2022. Let's see what is new in the Object Model for 2022. The list is not that long so I will post the entire list here, no need to download a file this year.

The goal of this post is to give you a nudge to try and make an improvement to your favorite macro yourself.
