Layer.CreateEllipse2 method

Creates an ellipse by specifying its center and radius

Syntax:

Function CreateEllipse2(ByVal CenterX As Double, ByVal CenterY As Double, ByVal Radius1 As Double, Optional ByVal Radius2 As Double = 0, Optional ByVal StartAngle As Double = 90, Optional ByVal EndAngle As Double = 90, Optional ByVal Pie As Boolean = False) As Shape

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
CenterX	Double	Specifies, in document units, the x-coordinate of the center point
CenterY	Double	Specifies, in document units, the y-coordinate of the center point
Radius1	Double	Specifies , in document units, the measurement from the x-coordinate of the center point to the circumference
Radius2	Double	Specifies, in document units, the measurement from the y-coordinate of the center point to the circumference.
StartAngle	Double	Specifies the degree of the start angle for the ellipse.
EndAngle	Double	Specifies the degree of the end angle for the ellipse.
Pie	Boolean	Specifies whether the ellipse is a pie.

Remarks:

The CreateEllipse2 method creates an ellipse, at a specified location on a layer, by using the coordinates of the shape's center, the horizontal radius, and (if desired) the vertical radius.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a yellow circle in the middle of the page and a green ellipse above it.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim lr As Layer
  Set lr = ActiveLayer
  ActiveDocument.DrawingOriginX = 0
  ActiveDocument.DrawingOriginY = 0
  Set s = lr.CreateEllipse2(0, 0, 1)
  s.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 255, 0 'Yellow
  Set s = lr.CreateEllipse2(0, 2, 2, 1)
  s.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 0, 255, 0 'Green
End Sub
