Layer.CreateCurveSegment2 method

Creates a curve segment by using control point coordinates

Syntax:

Function CreateCurveSegment2(ByVal x1 As Double, ByVal y1 As Double, ByVal StartingControlPointX As Double, ByVal StartingControlPointY As Double, ByVal EndingControlPointX As Double, ByVal EndingControlPointY As Double, ByVal x2 As Double, ByVal y2 As Double) As Shape

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
x1	Double	Specifies the x-coordinate for the starting point of the curve segment. This value is measured in document units.
y1	Double	Specifies the y-coordinate for the starting point of the curve segment. This value is measured in document units.
StartingControlPointX	Double	Specifies the x-coordinate for the starting control point
StartingControlPointY	Double	Specifies the y-coordinate for the starting control point
EndingControlPointX	Double	Specifies the x-coordinate for the ending control point
EndingControlPointY	Double	Specifies the y-coordinate for the ending control point
x2	Double	Specifies the x-coordinate for the ending point of the curve segment. This value is measured in document units.
y2	Double	Specifies the y-coordinate for the ending point of the curve segment. This value is measured in document units.

Remarks:

The CreateCurveSegment2 method uses specified control-point coordinates to create a curve segment at a specified location on a layer.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a curve and adds text along the curve.

Sub Test()
  Dim sText As Shape, sPath As Shape
  Set sText = ActiveLayer.CreateArtisticText(0, 0, "Some Text")
  Set sPath = ActiveLayer.CreateCurveSegment2(0.6, 4.5, 0, 3, 5.2, 8.2, 5.3, 7)
  sText.Text.FitToPath sPath
  sText.Effects(1).TextOnPath.Placement = cdrCenterPlacement
End Sub
