Curvature

A property of a shape that describes how rounded its corners are, from square to circle.

Usage

shpShape.Curvature = nCurves nCurves = shpShape.Curvature

Parameter	Value	Meaning
nCurves	0	No curvature; right-angle corners form a square or rectangle.
	1 through 98	Increasing curvature, forming ovals.
	99	Ultimate curvature, forming a circle or ellipse.

Curvature can be used to dynamically change the shape of the object as conditions change. We haven't found a lot of use for this in our data-based applications, but it can be used for great special effects.

Example

frmForm1.shpShape1.Curvature = 99   && draws a circle,                                      && if height=width
