Parameters

  • Type
    Required Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoDiagramType.

    MsoDiagramType can be one of these constants.

    msoDiagramCycle – Shows a process with a continuous cycle.

    msoDiagramMixed – Not used with this method.

    msoDiagramOrgChart – Shows hierarchical relationships.

    msoDiagramPyramid – Shows foundation-based relationships.

    msoDiagramRadial – Shows relationships of a core element.

    msoDiagramTarget – Shows steps toward a goal.

    msoDiagramVenn – Shows areas of overlap between elements.

  • Left
    Required Single. The position, measured in points, of the left edge of the diagram's bounding box relative to the anchor.
  • Top
    Required Single. The position, measured in points, of the top edge of the diagram's bounding box relative to the anchor.
  • Width
    Required Single. The width, measured in points, of the diagram's bounding box.
  • Height
    Required Single. The height, measured in points, of the diagram's bounding box.
  • Anchor
    Optional Object. A Range object that represents the text to which the diagram is bound. If Anchor is specified, the anchor is positioned at the beginning of the first paragraph in the anchoring range. If this argument is omitted, the anchoring range is selected automatically and the diagram is positioned relative to the top and left edges of the page.
