ShapeRange.Vertices Property (PowerPoint)
Returns the coordinates of the specified freeform drawing's vertices (and control points for Bézier curves) as a series of coordinate pairs. Read-only.
Syntax
expression .Vertices
expression A variable that represents a ShapeRange object.
Return Value
Variant
Remarks
You can use the array returned by this property as an argument to the AddCurve method or AddPolyline 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 |
Example
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 = .Vertices
x1 = 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 3n+1 vertices for this example to succeed.
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes
.AddCurve .Item(1).Vertices
End With
