Shape.GetMatrix method
Returns the values used in the tranformation matrix of a transformed shape
Syntax:
Sub GetMatrix(ByRef d11 As Double, ByRef d12 As Double, ByRef d21 As Double, ByRef d22 As Double, ByRef tx As Double, ByRef ty As Double)
Parameters:
Name Type Description
d11
Double
d12
Double
d21
Double
d22
Double
tx
Double
ty
Double
Remarks:
The GetMatrix method returns the values of the transformation matrix of a shape. A transformation matrix is four numbers that include two transformations and two translations (or movements). Each matrix element is referred to as d11, d12, d21, and d22 respectively, left to right and top to bottom.
Examples:
The following VBA example stretches each object along their x-axis by 200%. When applied to rotated objects, it causes the stretch along the rotated axes; for example, a rotated text object is stretched along its baseline without skewing it.
Sub Test()
Dim d11 As Double, d12 As Double, d21 As Double, d22 As Double
Dim tx As Double, ty As Double, s As Shape
For Each s In ActivePage.Shapes
  s.GetMatrix d11, d12, d21, d22, tx, ty
  s.SetMatrix d11 * 2, d12, d21 * 2, d22, tx, ty
Next s 
End Sub
