| Control Reference > VSDraw Control > VSDraw Properties > Polyline Property (VSDraw) |
Draws a line defined by a string of X,Y coordinates.
[form!]VSDraw.Polyline = value As String
The string assigned to the Polyline property contains a sequence of coordinates, in scale units, separated by spaces or commas.
This is a convenient way to draw complex open shapes using a single drawing command. For example, the code below draws a sine curve.
Const pi = 3.1416
Dim a#, s$
For a = 0 To 6 * pi Step 0.2
s = s & (1000 + 100 * a) & " " & (2000 + Sin(a) * 500) & " "
Next
vd.Polyline = s
The Polyline property draws an open shape using the current pen. To draw closed shapes, use the Polygon property instead.
