| artifexirc-bot | <qwertynik> Is there way to programatically change the line color of all vector drawings in a PDF using Ghostscript? | 13:51.41 |
| | <qwertynik> @here | 13:51.45 |
| | <KenSharp> Depends exactly what you mean but basically no, not without some programming | 13:52.12 |
| | <qwertynik> Will a Postscript passed to the gs command line suffice, or, would this involve changing the library code? | 13:53.51 |
| | <KenSharp> Again, it depends on exactly what you mean but in all but the most unlikely situations, you would need to write some C code and compile it into Ghostscript. | 13:54.45 |
| | <qwertynik> The drawing on the left, should become like the drawing on the right. Notice the red colored border. | 14:00.57 |

| | <KenSharp> Well as I said, the answer is that you would have to write some code | 14:01.21 |
| | <qwertynik> Ok. Had posted the image to add clarity on what was meant. | 14:01.58 |
| | <KenSharp> Pictures are less than useful here, because there is no clue what the underlying shape description(s) are. A fragment of example PDF woudl be more useful. But it's not going to change my answer I expect. | 14:02.12 |
| | <qwertynik> Ok. | 14:02.13 |
| | <qwertynik> Here's a sample PDF. Hopefully there's a way to do this with command-line. | 14:04.14 |

| | <KenSharp> So that's 3 filled rectangles, two XObjects, a shading, then 2 more filled rectangles,a stroked and filled rectangle and 2 moer shadings. Exactly which 'object' did you want to change ? | 14:07.41 |
| | <KenSharp> I'm going to guess teh Incredibles baby (times two) are the two XObjcets. | 14:08.26 |
| | <KenSharp> No idea about which rectangle you want altered. | 14:08.39 |
| | <KenSharp> And really, this is so complex there is no way to do it without coding | 14:08.59 |
| | <qwertynik> Sorry about the confusion. Adding a line color to all shapes and shadings would suffice. | 14:10.31 |
| | <KenSharp> Oh I missed a couple of operations there are a couple more stroked and filled rectangles in there, probably other stuff | 14:10.35 |
| | <KenSharp> And the answer is still 'You'll need to write code' | 14:10.57 |
| | <qwertynik> Ok 🙂 | 14:11.15 |
| | <qwertynik> Thanks for the clarity/ | 14:11.33 |
| | <qwertynik> Thanks for the clarity. | 14:11.35 |
