AddPolyline Method

Microsoft Publisher Visual Basic

expression.AddPolyline(SafeArrayOfPoints)

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

SafeArrayOfPoints   Required Variant. An array of coordinate pairs that specifies the polyline's or polygon's vertices.

Remarks

For the array elements in SafeArrayOfPoints, numeric values are evaluated in points; strings can be in any units supported by Microsoft Publisher (for example, "2.5 in").

To form a closed polygon, assign the same coordinates to the first and last vertices in the polyline drawing.

Example

The following example adds a triangle to the first page of the active publication. Because the first and last points have the same coordinates, the polygon is closed.

Dim shpPolyline As Shape
Dim arrPoints(1 To 4, 1 To 2) As Single

arrPoints(1, 1) = 25
arrPoints(1, 2) = 100
arrPoints(2, 1) = 100
arrPoints(2, 2) = 150
arrPoints(3, 1) = 150
arrPoints(3, 2) = 50
arrPoints(4, 1) = 25
arrPoints(4, 2) = 100

Set shpPolyline = ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes.AddPolyline _
    (SafeArrayOfPoints:=arrPoints)
