ANGLEALONGPATH Function

Returns the angle of the tangent to the path at a given point.

Version Information

Version Added: Visio 2010

Syntax

ANGLEALONGPATH(section, travel [,segment] )

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
section
Required
String
The Geometry section that represents the path, specified by a reference to its Path cell (for example, Geometry1.Path).
travel
Required
Double
The percentage along the path from begin point to end point. Must be between 0 and 1.
segment
Optional
Integer
The 1-based segment of the path at which to calculate the tangent angle.

Return value

Double

Remarks

If you include a segment value, ANGLEALONGPATH returns the value for that segment only.

If you include a segment value, ANGLEALONGPATH determines the point of the tangent by using travel to calculate the percertage along segment.

If either section or segment_ does not exist, Microsoft Visio returns #REF!.
