Segment.Previous method

Gets the segment preceding this one

Syntax:

Function Previous() As Segment

Remarks:

The Previous method returns the previous segment on a subpath. If the first segment is reached and the subpath is not closed, Nothing is returned

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a triangle, converts the three segments to curves, and changes the type of the bottom nodes to smooth, producing a shape resembling a droplet.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  Dim seg As Segment
  Set s = ActiveLayer.CreatePolygon(3, 6, 7, 2, 3)
  s.ConvertToCurves
  s.Curve.Nodes.Range(2, 4, 6).Delete
  Set seg = s.Curve.Segments(2)
  seg.Previous.Type = cdrCurveSegment
  seg.Next.Type = cdrCurveSegment
  seg.Type = cdrCurveSegment
  seg.StartNode.Type = cdrSmoothNode
  seg.EndNode.Type = cdrSmoothNode
End Sub
