Shape.IncrementRotation method (Publisher)

Changes the rotation of the specified shape around the z-axis (extends outward from the plane of the publication) by the specified number of degrees.

Syntax

expression.IncrementRotation (Increment)

expression A variable that represents a Shape object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
Increment	Required	Single	Specifies how far the shape is to be rotated around the z-axis, in degrees. A positive value rotates the shape clockwise; a negative value rotates it counterclockwise. Valid values are between -360 and 360.

Return value

Nothing

Remarks

Use the Rotation property of the ShapeRange object to set the absolute rotation of the shape.

To rotate a three-dimensional shape around the x-axis (horizontal) or the y-axis (vertical), use the IncrementRotationX method or the IncrementRotationY method of the ThreeDFormat object, respectively.

Example

This example duplicates the first shape on the active publication, sets the fill for the duplicate, moves it 70 points to the right and 50 points up, and rotates it 30 degrees clockwise.

With ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes(1).Duplicate 
 .Fill.PresetTextured PresetTexture:=msoTextureGranite 
 .IncrementLeft Increment:=70 
 .IncrementTop Increment:=-50 
 .IncrementRotation Increment:=30 
End With
