GradientDegree Property

expression.GradientDegree

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

Remarks

Use the OneColorGradient method to set the gradient degree for the fill.

Example

This example adds a rectangle to the active publication and sets the degree of its fill gradient to match that of the shape named Rectangle 2. If Rectangle 2 doesn't have a one-color gradient fill, this example generates an error.

Dim sngDegree As Single

With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes
    ' Store degree of one-color gradient.
    sngDegree = .Item("Rectangle 2").Fill.GradientDegree
    ' Add new rectangle.
    With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 0, 0, 40, 80).Fill
        ' Set color and gradient for new rectangle.
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0)
        .OneColorGradient Style:=msoGradientHorizontal, _
            Variant:=1, Degree:=sngDegree
    End With
End With
