SetSegmentType Method

       

Sets the segment type of the segment that follows the node specified by Index. If the node is a control point for a curved segment, this method sets the segment type for that curve. Note that this may affect the total number of nodes by inserting or deleting adjacent nodes.

expression.SetSegmentType(Index, SegmentType)

expression   Required. An expression that returns a ShapeNodes object.

Index   Required Long. The node whose segment type is to be set.

SegmentType  Required MsoSegmentType. Specifies if the segment is straight or curved.

MsoSegmentType can be one of these MsoSegmentType constants.
msoSegmentCurve
msoSegmentLine

Example

This example changes all straight segments to curved segments in shape three on myDocument. Shape three must be a freeform drawing.

Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes(3).Nodes
    n = 1
    While n <= .Count
        If .Item(n).SegmentType = msoSegmentLine Then
            .SetSegmentType n, msoSegmentCurve
        End If
        n = n + 1
    Wend
End With
