SetGeometryPath

GeometryShape.SetGeometryPath method

Updates shape geometry from IGeometryPath object. Coordinates must be relative to the left top corner of the shape. Changes the type of the shape (ShapeType) to Custom.

public void SetGeometryPath(IGeometryPath geometryPath)
ParameterTypeDescription
geometryPathIGeometryPathGeometry path

Exceptions

exceptioncondition
ArgumentExceptionNo path found
ArgumentExceptionEmpty path found

Examples

Example:

[C#]
using (Presentation pres = new Presentation())
{
    GeometryShape shape = pres.Slides[0].Shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 100, 200, 100) as GeometryShape;

    GeometryPath geometryPath0 = new GeometryPath();
    geometryPath0.MoveTo(0, 0);
    geometryPath0.LineTo(shape.Width, 0);
    geometryPath0.LineTo(shape.Width, shape.Height/3);
    geometryPath0.LineTo(0, shape.Height / 3);
    geometryPath0.CloseFigure();

    GeometryPath geometryPath1 = new GeometryPath();
    geometryPath1.MoveTo(0, shape.Height/3 * 2);
    geometryPath1.LineTo(shape.Width, shape.Height / 3 * 2);
    geometryPath1.LineTo(shape.Width, shape.Height);
    geometryPath1.LineTo(0, shape.Height);
    geometryPath1.CloseFigure();

    shape.SetGeometryPaths(new GeometryPath[] { geometryPath0, geometryPath1});

    pres.Save("output.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}
