SubPath.FindSegmentOffset

Function FindSegmentOffset(AbsoluteOffset As Double, Segment As Segment, ParamOffset As Double, [Remainder As Double]) As Boolean

Description

Member of SubPath

The FindSegmentOffset method finds the offset of a specified point on a segment subpath.

•

If the offset is longer than the length of the subpath, the function returns False, and the remaining offset is returned in the Remainder parameter. Otherwise, the function returns True, and the ParamOffset parameter returns the parametric offset for the subpath.


Parameter	Description
AbsoluteOffset	Specifies the value of the absolute offset
Segment	Specifies the segment
ParamOffset	Specifies the value of the parametric offset for the subpath
Remainder	Specifies the value of the remainder. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.

VBA example

The following VBA example finds the segment that contains a point 3" from the beginning of the first subpath, and it then converts the segment to a line.

Sub Test()

Dim seg As Segment

Dim t As Double

If ActiveShape.Curve.Subpaths(1).FindSegmentOffset(3, seg, t) Then

seg.Type = cdrLineSegment

Else

MsgBox "The first subpath is less than 3"" long."

End If

End Sub
