Creates an open polyline or a closed polygon drawing. Returns a object that represents the new polyline or polygon.

Syntax

expression.AddPolyline(SafeArrayOfPoints)

expression A variable that represents a Shapes object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
SafeArrayOfPoints Required Variant An array of coordinate pairs that specifies the polyline drawing's vertices.

Return Value
Shape

Remarks

To form a closed polygon, assign the same coordinates to the first and last vertices in the polyline drawing.

Example

This example adds a triangle to myDocument. Because the first and last points have the same coordinates, the polygon is closed and filled. The color of the triangle's interior will be the same as the default shape's fill color.
