Dannys draw power tools

The first one, which is a simple regular polygon, each vertex is connected directly to the next vertex one position ahead. In the second figure, each vertex is connected two positions ahead. Three positions ahead in the next figure, and finally four positions ahead in the final figure.

Otherwise, the entire figure is one object. Number of sides: 6. Draw regular ploygon. Do NOT draw star. Create Drawing As Filled Shape. Radius of entire figure: 1. Select the hexagon. Rotation tab. For Pivot Point, be sure the center radio button is clicked. Rotation Angle is 30 degrees. Click OK. Hexagon should now have points at the top and bottom, and flat sides on left and right. This means the ruler has a total of 10 sections.

Now let's subdivide it even further. The ruler how has half and quarter inch marks. Below are some examples of various rulers created with different parameters. Major tick marks 0. Not subdivided. Subdivide into zero parts. Flip ruler along major axis. Vertical ruler. This document and the component it describes are part of a larger package called Danny's Draw Power Tools. The width is determined based on the natural character width of the text.

The initial position of the text is ,, so that the text is not visible. This returns the TextShape, which has already been added to the drawing page, at coordinates which make it invisible. You must set the object's Position property to make the text visible. Hint: You may look at the Size property to help you determine where you want to place the text, for instance if you are trying to center it, or place it relative to some other shape object. If you don't supply nExtraWidthPercent, then a default fudge factor is used.

This is the percentage of the average character width, which is added to the shape's total width. LEFT" oShape. TOP" Make the shape auto-grow in size, based on the text. Once we set the text, in the next step, the shape will grow to some unknown size, based on the current font in use. Because of the TextAutoGrowWidth, the shape now occupies some unknown size. Width Make the shape NOT auto-grow in size, based on the text.

The arc has a certian radius and arc angle, and turns either to the left or to the right. Parameters: nStartX and nStartY are the starting position of the "turtle". An arc is drawn by moving the turtle forward and turning either left or right as it moves. Four values are returned. Use the last three return values as initial values to draw another arc which is connected to the ending position of the arc just drawn.
