Node.Previous

Function Previous() As Node

Description

Member of Node

The Previous method returns the preceding node in a curve, relative to the given node.

VBA example

The following VBA example creates a curve with six segments, finds the first symmetrical node, and displays the index number of the node preceding the first symmetrical node.

Sub Test()
 Dim s As Shape
 Dim n As Node
 Dim sp As SubPath
 Dim crv As Curve
 Set crv = CreateCurve(ActiveDocument)
 ActiveDocument.ReferencePoint = cdrBottomLeft
 Set sp = crv.CreateSubPath(1, 1)
 sp.AppendLineSegment 1, 1
 sp.AppendCurveSegment 3, 3
 sp.AppendCurveSegment 5, 1
 sp.AppendCurveSegment 6, 4
 sp.AppendCurveSegment 8, 2
 sp.AppendLineSegment 10, 5
 sp.Nodes(2).Type = cdrSmoothNode
 sp.Nodes(3).Type = cdrSmoothNode
 sp.Nodes(4).Type = cdrSymmetricalNode
 sp.Nodes(5).Type = cdrSmoothNode
 Set s = ActiveLayer.CreateCurve(crv)
 For Each n In s.Curve.Nodes
  If n.Type = cdrSymmetricalNode Then
   Set n = s.Curve.Nodes.Item(n.Index).Previous
   Exit For
  End If
 Next n
 MsgBox n.Index
End Sub
