Shape.Stretch method

Specifies a value to stretch a shape horizontally andor vertically relative to its reference point

Syntax:

Sub Stretch(ByVal StretchX As Double, Optional ByVal StretchY As Double = 0, Optional ByVal StretchCharactersSize As Boolean = False)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
StretchX	Double	Specifies the distance to stretch the shape horizontally
StretchY	Double	Specifies the distance to stretch the shape vertically. If this value is omitted, it is assumed to be the same as the StretchX parameter value, resulting in a proportional stretch.
StretchCharactersSize	Boolean	Specifies whether characters are stretched with the shape.

Remarks:

The Stretch method stretches a shape relative to the reference point specified by the Document.ReferencePoint property.

Examples:

The following VBA example stretches each shape on the current layer by 200%, relative to the center of each shape.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrCenter
  For Each s In ActiveLayer.Shapes
    s.CreateSelection
    s.Stretch 2
  Next s
End Sub
