Rasterize
The rasterize method is used to rasterize specific art objects.
Being able to turn complex art into a raster with strict control can be useful in some workflows.
Rasterize Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
colorSpace | The color mode you want the rasterized item to be. Valid Values: CMYK, RGB, Grayscale, and Bitmap |
colorModel | Same as colorSpace. |
antiAlias | The anti-aliasing type for the rasterized object: none (No Anti-Alias), art (Art-Optimized / Supersampling), type (Type-Optimized / Hinting). |
transparentBackground | Whether to make the background of the rasterized item transparent. True [Default] / False values. |
preserveSpotColors | Whether to preserve the spot colors or the alpha-transparency in rasterization. True / False |
resolution | The resolution of the rasterized item: a value from 1 to 2400. |
clippingMaskOffset | Whether to add a clipping path to the rasterized item's edge, as well as the optional offset amount, which could be set to zero for no offset. |
tagsearch | The tag search of the items to affect with this process. |
seriesTag | A seriesTag allows easy targeting of the artworks. The original and duplicate artwork will be tagged with the given seriesTag with a series number added to each tag. Sample Values: person, cat yield the tags person1, cat1, where the end-digit increases according to amount of items generated by expand |
seriesStart | When a seriesTag is provided, a numbered tag will be added to the original artwork and each duplicate. If the seriesStart was set to 5 and the seriesTag was set to cat, then the original artwork would be tagged cat5 and the duplicates will be tagged in series cat6, cat7 etc. If tagOriginal was set to false then the original artwork will not be tagged cat5, the duplicates will be tagged cat5, cat6 etc. Sample Values: 1, 5, 11 |
skip | skip is a generic property for all methods, when set to true, the method will be skipped. See * and Skip for details. Valid Values: true or false |
