Node.SetPosition method

Sets the horizontal and vertical position of the node on the page

Syntax:

Sub SetPosition(ByVal PositionX As Double, ByVal PositionY As Double)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
PositionX	Double	Specifies, in document units, the x-coordinate of the node
PositionY	Double	Specifies, in document units, the y-coordinate of the node

Remarks:

The SetPosition method moves a node to the specified x- and y-coordinates.

The GetPosition method returns the x- and y-coordinates of a node.

Examples:

The following VBA example distorts the selected curve. The amount of distortion depends on the distance between the node and the center of the shape. The node is moved only radially.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim n As Node
  Dim xc As Double, yc As Double
  Dim r As Double
  Dim dx As Double, dy As Double
  Const Amplitude As Double = 0.2
  Set s = ActiveShape
  If s.Type = cdrCurveShape Then
    ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrCenter
    s.GetPosition xc, yc
    For Each n In s.Curve.Nodes
      dx = n.PositionX - xc
      dy = n.PositionY - yc
      r = Exp((Rnd() - 0.5) * Amplitude)
      n.SetPosition xc + dx * r, yc + dy * r
    Next n
  End If
End Sub
