RotationEffect.From Property

  • Article
PowerPoint Developer Reference

Sets or returns a Single that represents the starting angle in degrees, specified relative to the screen (for example, 90 degrees is completely horizontal). Read/write.

Syntax

expression.From

expression   A variable that represents a RotationEffect object.

Remarks

Use this property in conjunction with the To property to transition from one rotation angle to another.

The default value is Empty in which case the current position of the object is used.

Do not confuse this property with the FromX or FromY properties of the ScaleEffect and MotionEffect objects, which are only used for scaling or motion effects.

Example

The following example adds a rotation effect and immediately changes its rotation angle.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub AddAndChangeRotationEffect()
    Dim effBlinds As Effect
    Dim tlnTiming As TimeLine
    Dim shpRectangle As Shape
    Dim animRotation As AnimationBehavior
    Dim rtnEffect As RotationEffect

'Adds rectangle and sets effect and animation
Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes_
    .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _
    Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50)
Set tlnTiming = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine
Set effBlinds = tlnTiming.MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, _
    effectId:=msoAnimEffectBlinds)
Set animRotation = tlnTiming.MainSequence(1).Behaviors _
    .Add(Type:=msoAnimTypeRotation)
Set rtnEffect = animRotation.RotationEffect

'Sets the rotation effect starting and ending positions
rtnEffect.<strong>From</strong> = 90
rtnEffect.To = 270



End Sub
