EffectBlend.MapNodes

Property MapNodes As Boolean

The MapNodes property returns or sets whether the nodes are mapped for a blend. The starting and ending mapped nodes determine how the intermediate objects are transformed from the start shape to become the end shape.

The following code example creates a blend between a circle and a polygon and specifies the key nodes on the two shapes that the blend uses as starting points of the shapes:

Sub Test() 
 Dim s1 As Shape, s2 As Shape, eff As Effect 
 Set s1 = ActiveLayer.CreateEllipse2(2, 9, 1) 
 Set s2 = ActiveLayer.CreatePolygon(4, 3, 6, 5, 5) 
 s1.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 0, 0 
 s2.Fill.UniformColor.RGBAssign 255, 255, 0 
 Set eff = s1.CreateBlend(s2) 
 With eff.Blend 
  .MapNodes = True 
  .StartPoint = s1.SnapPoints(2) 
  .EndPoint = s2.SnapPoints(4) 
 End With 
End Sub
