Move Method

                          

Summary

Moves the shape to a new location.

Syntax

Object.Move (
   method As QfTransformType,           '
   v As Point,                          '
  [f As Double]                         '
) As ShapeRange

Parameters

method
[in, optional] QfTransformType
v
[in, optional] Point
f
[in, optional] Double

Remarks

Geometric transformations available with move operation are:

  • Displacement:     parallel displacement is applied to selected objects for specified displacement vector. Parameters needed are displacement vector components.

  • Rotation:     selected objects are rotated around the specified point for the specified angle. Parameters needed are center of rotation coordinates and angle measured in radians.

  • Scaling:    selected objects are dilated (constricted) by means of homothetic transformation. Parameters needed are center of homothety and scaling factor.

The following table clarifies the parameters meaning with various transformation types:

Transformation Type

Method parameter as QfTransformType constant

V parameter

F parameter

Displacement

qfShift

Displacement vector

N/A

Rotation

qfRotation

The center of rotation

The rotation angle in radians

Scaling

qfScaling

The center of homothety

The scaling factor that is always positive and can be great (dilatation) or less (constriction) then one.

The V parameter if omitted is defaulted to the origin (0, 0), and F parameter  - to zero.
