Angle Element

Represents the shape's current angle of rotation in relation to its parent.

Syntax

<Angle>
    [Unit]
    [F]
    [Err]>
</Angle>

Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is DA. For details about DA, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.

Remarks

The Angle element is relevant only when contained in a Shape element. It is ignored when contained in a DocumentSheet, PageSheet, or StyleSheet element.

The default formula for determining the rotation angle of a 1-D shape is: =ATAN2(EndY-BeginY,EndX-BeginX).
