Shape.Vertices Property
Returns the coordinates of the specified freeform drawing's vertices (and control points for Bézier curves) as a series of coordinate pairs. Read-only.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
ReadOnly Property Vertices As Object
Get
'Usage
Dim instance As Shape
Dim value As Object
value = instance.Vertices
Object Vertices { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Object
Variant
Remarks
You can use the array returned by this property as an argument to the AddCurve(Object) method or AddPolyline(Object) method.
The following table shows how the Vertices property associates the values in the array vertArray() with the coordinates of a triangle's vertices.
VertArray element |
Contains |
|---|---|
VertArray(1, 1) |
The horizontal distance from the first vertex to the left side of the slide |
VertArray(1, 2) |
The vertical distance from the first vertex to the top of the slide |
VertArray(2, 1) |
The horizontal distance from the second vertex to the left side of the slide |
VertArray(2, 2) |
The vertical distance from the second vertex to the top of the slide |
VertArray(3, 1) |
The horizontal distance from the third vertex to the left side of the slide |
VertArray(3, 2) |
The vertical distance from the third vertex to the top of the slide |
Examples
This example assigns the vertex coordinates for shape one on myDocument to the array variable vertArray() and displays the coordinates for the first vertex.
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes(1)
vertArray = .Verticesx1 = vertArray(1, 1)
y1 = vertArray(1, 2)
MsgBox "First vertex coordinates: " & x1 & ", " & y1
End With
This example creates a curve that has the same geometric description as shape one on myDocument. Shape one must contain 3+1 vertices for this example to succeed.
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
.AddCurve .Item(1).VerticesEnd With
