Shadow properties
com.sun.star.drawing.ShadowProperties
The following example creates and formats a line with the help of the named properties.
The origin of the line is specified in the Location property, whereas the coordinates listed in
the Size property specify the end point of the line.
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Page As Object
Dim LineShape As Object
Dim Point As New com.sun.star.awt.Point
Dim Size As New com.sun.star.awt.Size
Point.x = 1000
Point.y = 1000
Size.Width = 10000
Size.Height = 10000
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Page = Doc.drawPages(0)
LineShape = Doc.createInstance("com.sun.star.drawing.LineShape")
LineShape.Size = Size
LineShape.Position = Point
Page.add(LineShape)
Polypolygon Shapes
OpenOffice.org also supports complex polygonal shapes through the
com.sun.star.drawing.PolyPolygonShape
service. Strictly speaking, a PolyPolygon is not a simple polygon but a multiple polygon.
Several independent lists containing corner points can therefore be specified and combined
to form a complete object.
As with rectangle shapes, all the formatting properties of drawing objects are also provided
for polypolygons:
