Transparency.ApplyFountainTransparency

Function ApplyFountainTransparency([Start As Long], [End As Long = 100], [Type As cdrFountainFillType = cdrLinearFountainFill], [Angle As Double], [Steps As Long], [EdgePad As Long], [MidPoint As Long = 50], [CenterOffsetX As Double], [CenterOffsetY As Double]) As FountainFill

Description

Member of Transparency

The ApplyFountainTransparency method applies a fountain-fill transparency to a shape.

Parameter
Description
Start
Specifies a percentage value indicating the level of transparency in the beginning of the fountain transparency. Higher values indicate a greater degree of transparency. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
End
Specifies a percentage value indicating the level of transparency in the end of the fountain transparency. Higher values indicate a greater degree of transparency. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 100.
Type
Specifies, through a value of cdrFountainFillType, the type of fountain fill in the transparency. This parameter is optional, and its default value is cdrLinearFountainFill (1).
Angle
Specifies the degree of the slant in linear, conical, or square fountain-fill transparencies. Positive values rotate the fill counterclockwise; negative values rotate it clockwise. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
Steps
Specifies the number of bands (steps) used to display the fountain fill. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
EdgePad
Specifies the length of solid colors at the beginning and end of the fountain transparency before they start blending with the next color in the fountain fill. You can change the edge pad of linear, radial, and square fountain fills. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
MidPoint
Specifies the position of the mid-point, the point at which two colors in the fountain fill converge. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 50.
CenterOffsetX
Specifies the horizontal offset from the center. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.
CenterOffsetY
Specifies the vertical offset from the center. This parameter is optional, and its default value is 0.

VBA example

The following VBA example applies a radial fountain-fill transparency to each shape that has a fill.

Sub Test()
 Dim s As Shape
 For Each s In ActivePage.Shapes
  If s.Fill.Type <> cdrNoFill Then
   s.Transparency.ApplyFountainTransparency 0, 90, cdrRadialFountainFill
  End If
 Next s
End Sub
