PS_MAKESPOTCOLOR(3)

✨ PS_makespotcolor — Library Functions Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to PS_makespotcolor(3), a whole page from the Library Functions Manual and it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

PS_makespotcolor — Create a spotcolor

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <pslib.h>

int PS_makespotcolor(PSDoc *psdoc, const char *name, int reserved)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically it creates a spot color, and it builds that spot color out of whatever your current fill color is. That's the whole vibe.

The fill color must be a gray, rgb, or cmyk color — those three, no substitutions, no cap 🚫

And then the spot color id that this function hands back to you? You must pass it to PS_setcolor(3) as the fourth parameter. Not the third, not "wherever, it'll figure it out" — the fourth one. iykyk 🫶

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

• the id of the shiny new spot color — slay ✨
• or 0 if something went wrong 😭 (that's the error case, fr fr)

👑 SEE ALSO 👑
