This example adds a patterned line to myDocument.

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes.AddLine(10, 100, 250, 0).Line
    .Weight = 6
    .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255)

This example adds a rectangle to myDocument and sets its fill pattern to match that of the shape named "rect1." The new rectangle has the same pattern as rect1, but not necessarily the same colors. The colors used in the pattern are set with the BackColor and ForeColor properties.

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
    pattern1 = .Item("rect1").Fill.Pattern
    With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 100, 100, 120, 80).Fill
        .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0)
        .BackColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 255)
        .Patterned pattern1
    End With
End With
