Returns the gradient variant for the specified fill as an integer value from 1 to 4 for most gradient fills. If the gradient style is msoGradientFromTitle or msoGradientFromCenter, this property returns either 1 or 2. The values for this property correspond to the gradient variants (numbered from left to right and from top to bottom) on the Gradient subtab in the Shape Fill tab. Read-only Long. This property is read-only. Use the , , or method to set the gradient variant for the fill.

Syntax

expression.GradientVariant

expression A variable that represents a FillFormat object.

Return Value
Long

Example

This example adds a rectangle to myDocument and sets its fill gradient variant to match that of the shape named "rect1." For the example to work, rect1 must have a gradient fill.

Visual Basic for Applications 
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1) With myDocument.Shapes gradVar1 = .Item("rect1").Fill.GradientVariant With .AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 0, 0, 40, 80).Fill .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 0, 0) .OneColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, gradVar1, 1 End With End With
