DiagramNode Object

Represents a node in a diagram.

Using the DiagramNode object

To return a DiagramNode object, use one of the following:

• The DiagramNode object's AddNode, CloneNode, NextNode or PrevNode methods, or Root property.
• The DiagramNodeChildren collection's AddNode or Item methods, or FirstChild or LastChild properties.

• The DiagramNodes collection's Item method.
• The Shape object's or ShapeRange collection's DiagramNode property.

A diagram node can terminate, or contain other child diagrams, child diagram nodes, or child shapes:

• To refer to a child diagram, use the Diagram property.
• To refer to an individual child diagram node, use the AddNode, CloneNode, NextNode or PrevNode methods, or Root property.
• To refer to a collection of child diagram nodes, use the Children property.
• To refer to a shape, use the Shape or TextShape properties.

Use the AddNode method to add a node to a diagram or to a diagram node. This example assumes the third shape in the active presentation is a diagram and adds a node to it.

Sub AddDiagramNode()
    ActivePresentation.Shapes(3).DiagramNode.Children.AddNode
End Sub

Use the Delete method to remove a node from a diagram or diagram node. This example assumes the second shape in the presentation is a diagram and removes the first node from it.

Sub DeleteDiagramNode()
    ActivePresentation.Shapes(2).DiagramNode.Children(1).Delete
End Sub
