FreeformBuilder.AddNodes Method (Excel)
Adds a point in the current shape and then draws a line from the current node to last node that was added.
Syntax
expression .AddNodes(SegmentType, EditingType, X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3)
expression A variable that represents a FreeformBuilder object.
Parameters
Name |
Required/Optional |
Data Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|---|
SegmentType |
Required |
The type of segment to be added. |
|
EditingType |
Required |
The editing property of the vertex. |
|
X1 |
Required |
Single |
If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new node is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the first control point for the new segment. |
Y1 |
Required |
Single |
If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new node is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the first control point for the new segment. |
X2 |
Optional |
Variant |
If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument. |
Y2 |
Optional |
Variant |
If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument. |
X3 |
Optional |
Variant |
If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument. |
Y3 |
Optional |
Variant |
If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument. |
Remarks
MsoSegmentType can be one of these MsoSegmentType constants. |
msoSegmentLine |
msoSegmentCurve |
MsoEditingType can be one of these MsoEditingType constants. |
msoEditingAuto |
msoEditingCorner |
Cannot be msoEditingSmooth or msoEditingSymmetric If SegmentType is msoSegmentLine, EditingType must be msoEditingAuto. |
Example
This example adds a freeform with four segments to myDocument.
Set myDocument = Worksheets(1)
With myDocument.Shapes.BuildFreeform(msoEditingCorner, 360, 200)
.AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingCorner, _
380, 230, 400, 250, 450, 300
.AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingAuto, 480, 200
.AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, 480, 400
.AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, 360, 200
.ConvertToShape
End With
