IncrementRotationY Method

Microsoft Publisher Visual Basic

expression.IncrementRotationY(Increment)

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

Increment   Required Single. Specifies by how many degrees to rotate the shape around the y-axis. Can be a value from – 90 through 90. A positive value tilts the shape to the left; a negative value tilts it to the right.

Remarks

Use the RotationY property to set the absolute rotation of the shape around the y-axis.

You cannot adjust the rotation around the y-axis of the specified shape past the upper or lower limit for the RotationY property (90 degrees to – 90 degrees). For example, if the RotationY property is initially set to 80 and you specify 40 for the Increment argument, the resulting rotation will be 90 (the upper limit for the RotationY property) instead of 120.

To change the rotation of a shape around the x-axis (horizontal), use the IncrementRotationX method. To change the rotation around the z-axis (extends outward from the plane of the publication), use the IncrementRotation method.

Example

This example tilts the first shape in the active publication 10 degrees to the right. The shape must be an extruded shape for you to see the effect of this code.
