FreeformBuilder.AddNodes Method (Excel)

Adds a point in the current shape and then draws a line from the current node to last node that was added.

Syntax

expression .AddNodes(SegmentType, EditingType, X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3)

expression A variable that represents a FreeformBuilder object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data Type	Description
SegmentType	Required	MsoSegmentType	The type of segment to be added.
EditingType	Required	MsoEditingType	The editing property of the vertex.
X1	Required	Single	If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new node is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the first control point for the new segment.
Y1	Required	Single	If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new node is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the first control point for the new segment.
X2	Optional	Variant	If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.
Y2	Optional	Variant	If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.
X3	Optional	Variant	If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.
Y3	Optional	Variant	If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.

Remarks

MsoSegmentType can be one of these MsoSegmentType constants.

msoSegmentLine

msoSegmentCurve

MsoEditingType can be one of these MsoEditingType constants.

msoEditingAuto

msoEditingCorner

Cannot be msoEditingSmooth or msoEditingSymmetric If SegmentType is msoSegmentLine, EditingType must be msoEditingAuto.

Example

This example adds a freeform with four segments to myDocument.

Set myDocument = Worksheets(1) 
With myDocument.Shapes.BuildFreeform(msoEditingCorner, 360, 200) 
    .AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingCorner, _ 
        380, 230, 400, 250, 450, 300 
    .AddNodes msoSegmentCurve, msoEditingAuto, 480, 200 
    .AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, 480, 400 
    .AddNodes msoSegmentLine, msoEditingAuto, 360, 200 
    .ConvertToShape 
End With
