CropLeft Property

  • Article

Returns or sets the number of points that are cropped off the left side of the specified picture or OLE object. Read/write Single.

Note  Cropping is calculated relative to the original size of the picture. For example, if you insert a picture that is originally 100 points wide, rescale it so that it's 200 points wide, and then set the CropLeft property to 50, 100 points (not 50) will be cropped off the left side of your picture.

Example

This example crops 20 points off the left side of shape three on the active document. For the example to work, shape three must be either a picture or an OLE object.

ActiveDocument.Shapes(3).PictureFormat.CropLeft = 20

This example crops the percentage specified by the user off the left side of the selected shape, regardless of whether the shape has been scaled. For the example to work, the selected shape must be either a picture or an OLE object.

Dim dblPercent As Double
Dim shapeCrop As Shape
Dim sngHeight As Single
Dim sngCrop As Single

dblPercent = Val(InputBox("What percentage do you want " _
    & "to crop off the left of this picture?"))

Set shapeCrop = _
    Selection.ShapeRange(1)

With shapeCrop.Duplicate
    .ScaleHeight 1, True
    sngHeight = .Height
    .Delete
End With

sngCrop = sngHeight * dblPercent / 100

shapeCrop.PictureFormat.Crop Left = sngCrop
