Outline.SetProperties method

Sets all outline properties

Syntax:

Sub SetProperties(Optional ByVal Width As Double = -1, Optional ByVal Style As OutlineStyle = Nothing, Optional ByVal Color As Color = Nothing, Optional ByVal StartArrow As ArrowHead = Nothing, Optional ByVal EndArrow As ArrowHead = Nothing, Optional ByVal BehindFill As cdrTriState = cdrUndefined, Optional ByVal ScaleWithShape As cdrTriState = cdrUndefined, Optional ByVal LineCaps As cdrOutlineLineCaps = cdrOutlineUndefinedLineCaps, Optional ByVal LineJoin As cdrOutlineLineJoin = cdrOutlineUndefinedLineJoin, Optional ByVal NibAngle As Double = -9999, Optional ByVal NibStretch As Long = 0, Optional ByVal DashDotLength As Double = -1, Optional ByVal PenWidth As Double = 0, Optional ByVal MiterLimit As Double = 0)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
Width	Double	Specifies, in points, the width of the object's outline.
Style	OutlineStyle	Specifies the outline style of the object's outline.
Color	Color	Specifies the color of the object's outline.
StartArrow	ArrowHead	Specifies the start arrow of the object's outline.
EndArrow	ArrowHead	Specifies the end arrow of the object's outline.
BehindFill	cdrTriState	Determines whether the outline is behind the object's fill.
ScaleWithShape	cdrTriState	Determines whether the object's outline maintains the size proportions of the object.
LineCaps	cdrOutlineLineCaps	Specifies the endpoint style if the outline is open-path.
LineJoin	cdrOutlineLineJoin	Specifies the appearance of the lines that intersect each other in the outline, and returns cdrOutlineLineJoin{cdrOutlineUndefinedLineJoin\|.
NibAngle	Double	Specifies the angle of the Brush tool if the outline is calligraphic.
NibStretch	Long	Specifies the thickness of the Brush tool if the oultine is calligraphic.
DashDotLength	Double	Specifies the absolute length of the outline's dash-dot pattern.
PenWidth	Double	Specifies the pen width, if the outline is enhanced.
MiterLimit	Double	Specifies the miter limit.

Remarks:

The SetProperties method allows you to set all outline properties with a single command.

Any missing parameter does not change the corresponding property.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a rectangle with an outline that is 0.3 inches wide. The blue outline is set behind the rectangle's fill and does not to scale to size with the rectangle. The outline's fill has round line caps and beveled line joins. The nib angle is set to 34° with a nib stretch of 100.

Sub test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(3, 3, 7, 7)
  s.Outline.SetProperties 0.3, , CreateRGBColor(0, 0, 255), , , True, _
    False, cdrOutlineRoundLineCaps, cdrOutlineBevelLineJoin, 34, 100
End Sub
