DrawGuide Method

Draws a guide line based on the specified coordinates of the coordinate origin (the GPinX and GPinY properties) of the guide line and the angle, to which it's turned with respect to its coordinate origin. Returns an instance of the Shape object that represents the created service object.

Applies to: Page object, Shape object

Syntax

[[Set] servObjRet =] object.DrawGuide ( xGPin, yGPin, angle )

The DrawGuide method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object Required. An expression that returns an instance of an object from the Applies to list.
xGPin Required. An expression that returns a Double value. Represents the X-coordinate of the coordinate origin (the GPinX property).
yGPin

Required. An expression that returns a Double value. Represents the Y-coordinate of the coordinate origin (the GPinY property).

angle

Required. An expression that returns a Double value. Represents the angle to which the guide line is turned counter-clockwise relevant to its horizontal position in the coordinate system of object.

servObjRet Optional. A Shape type variable.

Remarks

When object is a page or a group, the DrawGuide method creates a guide line and adds it to the service object collection of the corresponding page or group. The coordinates of the origin of the guide are specified in the coordinate system of object. The angle value is set in radians.

If object is a simple shape, the DrawGuide method takes no action and returns Nothing.
