Ellipse.GetRadius method
Gets the ellipse radius
Syntax:
Sub GetRadius(ByRef HRadius As Double, ByRef VRadius As Double)
Parameters:
Name Type Description
HRadius
Double
VRadius
Double
Remarks:
The GetRadius method retrieves the horizontal and vertical radii of an ellipse. Using GetRadius is equivalent to getting the values of both the HRadius and VRadius properties at the same time.
Examples:
The following VBA example increases the radius of the ellipse both horizontally and vertically by 2". Changing the radius of an ellipse causes its center to move. To preserve the center position of the ellipse, the GetCenterPosition and SetCenterPosition methods are used.
Sub Test()
Dim x As Double, y As Double
Dim rx As Double, ry As Double
With ActiveShape.Ellipse
  .GetCenterPosition x, y
  .GetRadius rx, ry
  .SetRadius rx + 2, ry + 2
  .SetCenterPosition x, y
End With 
End Sub
