Function CreateBlend(Shape As Shape, [Steps As Integer = 20], [ColorBlendType As cdrFountainFillBlendType = cdrDirectFountainFillBlend], [Mode As cdrBlendMode = cdrBlendSteps], [Spacing As Double], [Angle As Double], [Loop As Boolean = False], [Path As Shape], [RotateShapes As Boolean = False], [SpacingAccel As Long], [ColorAccel As Long], [AccelSize As Boolean = False]) As Effect
Member of Shape
The CreateBlend method creates a blend between two shapes, returning an Effect object that represents the blend-effect properties.

Parameter
|
Description
|
|
Shape
|
Specifies the starting shape
|
|
Steps
|
Specifies the number of steps. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 20.
|
|
ColorBlendType
|
Specifies the color-blend type, and returns cdrFountainFillBlendType. This parameter is optional, and its default value is cdrDirectFountainFillBlend (0).
|
|
Mode
|
Specifies the blend mode, and returns cdrBlendMode. This parameter is optional, and its default value is cdrBlendSteps (0).
|
|
Spacing
|
Specifies the blend spacing. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
|
|
Angle
|
Specifies the blend angle. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
|
|
Loop
|
Specifies whether the blend loops. This parameter is optional, and its default value is False.
|
|
Path
|
Specifies the blend path. This parameter is optional, and its default value is Nothing.
|
|
RotateShapes
|
Specifies whether the blend rotates its shape to follow a path. This parameter is optional, and its default value is False.
|
|
SpacingAccel
|
Specifies the rate of object acceleration. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
|
|
ColorAccel
|
Specifies the rate of color acceleration. Higher numbers allow the colors to move more quickly through the spectrum as they approach the end object. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
|
|
AccelSize
|
Specifies whether the size of the blend accelerates along the path. This parameter is optional, and its default value is False.
|
The following VBA example creates a blend on path between two ellipses.
Sub Test() |
Dim sPath As Shape, s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape |
Dim eff As Effect |
Set sPath = ActiveLayer.CreateCurveSegment(1, 6.5, 5, 8.5, 2, 72, 1.8, 180) |
Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(0.953386, 6.731929, 1.838858, 6.027165) |
s1.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 100, 0 |
Set s2 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse(4.838622, 9.045, 5.597598, 8.21374) |
s2.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 0, 100, 0 |
Set eff = s2.CreateBlend(s1, 10) |
eff.Blend.Path = sPath |
End Sub |
