Effect.Separate method

Separates the blend effect for the object

Syntax:

Function Separate() As ShapeRange

Remarks:

The Separate method separates effect-generated shapes from their control object(s).

Examples:

The following VBA example creates two circles, builds a blend effect between them, then separates the blend, ungroups the blend steps, and scatters them randomly.

Sub Test()
  Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim g As ShapeRange, stps As ShapeRange
  Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(0, 0, 2, 2)
  s1.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 0, 0
  Set s2 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(6, 6, 7, 7)
  s2.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 255, 0
  s1.CreateBlend s2
  Set g = s1.Effects(1).Separate
  Set stps = g(1).Shapes.All
  g(1).Ungroup
  For Each s In stps
    s.Move (Rnd() - 0.5) * s.SizeWidth, (Rnd() - 0.5) * s.SizeHeight
  Next s
End Sub
