dom.fillSelectedPixels()

Availability

Fireworks 3.

Usage

dom.fillSelectedPixels(

clickPt

bFillSelectionOnly

tolerance

edgemode

featherAmt

)

Arguments

clickPt

A point that specifies the

x,y

coordinates of the pixel to be filled or generated (see

“Point data type” on page 12

, and

Points that specify the fill-vector. These arguments are ignored if the current

fill does not use a fill-vector.

bFillSelectionOnly

true

, the remaining arguments

are ignored. If it is

false

, the current pixel selection is ignored, and a new one is generated

using the values passed for

tolerance

edgemode

, and

featherAmt

(This behavior is the

same as if the Magic Wand tool were used at the

clickPt

location.)

tolerance

An integer between 0 and 255, inclusive, that specifies the tolerance for

selecting pixels.

edgemode

Acceptable values for

edgemode

are

"hard edge"

"antialias"

, and

"feather"

featherAmt

An integer between 0 and 32,000, inclusive, that specifies the number of pixels

to feather. This value is ignored if the value of

edgemode

is not

"feather"

Returns

Nothing.

Description

When the selection is an image and Fireworks is in bitmap mode, this method fills the
selected pixels with the current fill or generates a new pixel selection.

Example

The following command fills the selection with a hard edge, and the tolerance set to 32:

fw.getDocumentDOM().fillSelectedPixels({x:207, y:199}, {x:207, y:199},

{x:207, y:199}, {x:207, y:199}, false, 32, "hard edge", 0);
