Shape.Flip method

Mirrors an existing shape horizontally andor vertically. No new object is created.

Syntax:

Sub Flip(ByVal Axes As cdrFlipAxes)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
Axes	cdrFlipAxes	Specifies the flip type, and returns cdrFlipAxes

Remarks:

The Flip method flips a shape along one or two axes.

To flip the object along both axes in one step, you can combine the two axes.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates an illusion of a text object reflected in a mirror.

Sub Test()
  Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape
  Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(2, 5, "Some Text")
  With s1.Text.FontProperties
    .Name = "Arial"
    .Size = 48
    .Style = cdrBoldFontStyle
  End With
  Set s2 = s1.Duplicate(0, 0.5)
  s1.Flip cdrFlipHorizontal
  s1.Fill.ApplyFountainFill CreateCMYKColor(0, 0, 0, 100), CreateCMYKColor(0, 0, 0, 0), , -90
