Example

The following example adds a pyramid diagram with four nodes to the first slide in the active presentation.

Sub CreatePyramidDiagram()

    Dim dgnNode As DiagramNode
    Dim shpDiagram As Shape
    Dim intNodes As Integer

    'Adds pyramid diagram and first child node
    Set shpDiagram = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
        .AddDiagram(Type:=msoDiagramPyramid, Left:=10, _
        Top:=15, Width:=400, Height:=475)
    Set dgnNode = shpDiagram.DiagramNode.Children.AddNode

    'Adds three more child nodes to pyramid diagram
    For intNodes = 1 To 3
        dgnNode.AddNode
    Next intNodes

End Sub
