Layer.CreateEllipse method

Creates an ellipse by specifying coordinates

Syntax:

Function CreateEllipse(ByVal Left As Double, ByVal Top As Double, ByVal Right As Double, ByVal Bottom As Double, Optional ByVal StartAngle As Double = 90, Optional ByVal EndAngle As Double = 90, Optional ByVal Pie As Boolean = False) As Shape

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
Left	Double
Top	Double
Right	Double
Bottom	Double
StartAngle	Double	Specifies the degree of the start angle for the ellipse.
EndAngle	Double	Specifies the degree of the end angle of the ellipse. Altering the start angle changes the shape of the ellipse.
Pie	Boolean	Specifies whether to change the ellipse into a pie.

Remarks:

The CreateEllipse method creates an ellipse shape at a specified location on a layer. The CreateEllipse method creates the ellipse by using the corners of its bounding box.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a rectangle with a red ellipse inside it, both at the lower-left corner of the page.

Sub Test()
Dim s As Shape
Dim lr As Layer
Set lr = ActiveLayer
ActiveDocument.DrawingOriginX = -ActivePage.SizeWidth / 2
ActiveDocument.DrawingOriginY = -ActivePage.SizeHeight / 2
lr.CreateRectangle 0, 0, 3, 2
Set s = lr.CreateEllipse(0, 0, 3, 2)
s.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 0, 0 'Red 
End Sub
