Summary

Support Grayscale for rendering and print output

Solution

In version 6021 a new property ColorPalette was added

It is property for vdRender , vdPrint, vdLayout and vdViewport objects.

This means that you can have several viewports with different render properties , 1 viewport truecolor , 1 viewport grayscale or even one layout grayscale for printing functionalities.

Get/Set the output color palette for these objects with on of the following vdRender.ColorDisplay enum type values

TrueColor is the default Colors of entities and images are not changed.

BlackAndWhite Colors of entities and images are changed to nearest black or white color.

GrayScale Colors of entities and images are changed to nearest grayscale colors.

Old property OutInBlackWhite of vdPrint when set to True change the ColorPalette to vdRender.ColorDisplay.BlackAndWhite

and when is set to False change the ColorPalette to vdRender.ColorDisplay.TrueColor

The original file in Render mode TrueColor

The original file in Render mode GrayScale

The original file in Render mode Black & White

The original file in Render mode in PrintPreview with GrayScale
