PatternCanvas.RotateArea method

Rotates the Area

Syntax:

Sub RotateArea(ByVal x1 As Long, ByVal y1 As Long, ByVal x2 As Long, ByVal y2 As Long, ByVal Angle As Double)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
x1	Long	Specifies the x-coordinate of the first point that defines the area to rotate on the pattern canvas. This value is measured in document units.
y1	Long	Specifies the y-coordinate of the first point that defines the area to rotate on the pattern canvas. This value is measured in document units.
x2	Long	Specifies the x-coordinate of the second point that defines the area to rotate on the pattern canvas. This value is measured in document units.
y2	Long	Specifies the y-coordinate of the second point that defines the area to rotate on the pattern canvas. This value is measured in document units.
Angle	Double	Specifies the angle, measured in degrees, at which to rotate the pattern canvas

Remarks:

The RotateArea method rotates an area, as defined by two coordinates, of a pattern canvas. The rotation is measured in degrees.

Currently, only integer angle values divisible by 90 can be used (for example, 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°).

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a new fill by rotating the default brick pattern by 90°.

Sub Test()
  Dim c As New PatternCanvas
  c.PutCopy PatternCanvases(4)
  c.RotateArea 0, 0, c.Width - 1, c.Height - 1, 90
  With ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(0, 0, 2, 2)
    .Fill.ApplyPatternFill cdrTwoColorPattern
    .Fill.Pattern.Canvas = c
  End With
End Sub
