AddRectangle

AddRectangle adds a new rectangle or rounded rectangle shape. Returns a Polygon object.

Syntax

object.AddRectangle( Left, Bottom, Right, Top, xRadius, yRadius )

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
Left	Double		required; This provides the left coordinate
Bottom	Double		required; This provides the bottom coordinate
Right	Double		required; This provides the right coordinate
Top	Double		required; This provides the top coordinate
xRadius	Double	0.0	optional; This provides the X radius for rounded rectangle corner
yRadius	Double	0.0	optional; This provides the Y radius for rounded rectangle corner

Remarks

Either page units or map coordinates are used for the Left, Right, Bottom, and Top parameters. When the rectangle is added to the plot, use page units for the parameter coordinates. When the rectangle is added to a map layer, use map coordinates to specify the parameters coordinates.

If only xRadius or yRadius are used, a square-cornered rectangle results. Use both xRadius and yRadius to round the corners.

Example 1

This example demonstrates how to create a rectangle.

'declare Rectangle object and create a new rectangle

Dim Rectangle As Object

Set Rectangle = Shapes.AddRectangle(Left:=5, Bottom:=7, Right:=6, Top:=10)
