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.
