Syntax

expression.AddNodes(SegmentType, EditingType, X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3)

expression A variable that represents a FreeformBuilder object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
SegmentType Required The type of segment to be added.
EditingType Required The editing property of the vertex.
X1 Required Single If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new node is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the first control point for the new segment.
Y1 Required Single If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the end point of the new segment. If the EditingType of the new node is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the first control point for the new segment.
X2 Optional Variant If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.
Y2 Optional Variant If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.
X3 Optional Variant If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.
Y3 Optional Variant If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingCorner, this argument specifies the horizontal distance (in points) from the upper-left corner of the document to the second control point for the new segment. If the EditingType of the new segment is msoEditingAuto, don't specify a value for this argument.

Remarks

MsoSegmentType can be one of these MsoSegmentType constants.
msoSegmentLine
msoSegmentCurve
MsoEditingType can be one of these MsoEditingType constants.
msoEditingAuto
msoEditingCorner
Cannot be msoEditingSmooth or msoEditingSymmetric

If SegmentType is msoSegmentLine, EditingType must be msoEditingAuto.

Example

This example adds a freeform with four segments to myDocument.

Visual Basic for Applications
