diagShape (Variable type)

In french: diagForme

The diagShape type is used to define all the advanced characteristics of the original shape used in a diagram.

ATTENTION :

A variable of type diagShape should not be assigned directly, and cannot be directly added to a diagram. Only the types that derive from this type of variable can be assigned or added to a diagram:
- diagPath variable,
- diagGroup variable,
- diagImage variable,
- diagConnector variable,
- diagOval variable,
- diagPolygon variable,
- diagRectangle variable.
diagShape variables are used to handle the types of shapes, in particular arrays of shapes.

Example

// Iterate over the shapes in a diagram
ShapeName is string
diagControl is Diagram <- DIAGEDT_DIAG

FOR EACH ShapeInDiagram OF diagControl.Shape
	ShapeName = ShapeInDiagram.Name // Gets the name of the shape
END

Properties

Properties specific to diagShape variables

The following properties can be used to handle an original shape:

Property name	Type used	Effect

ActionAllowed	diagActionAllowed or constant	diagActionAllowed variable used to define the changes the user can make to the shape. constant diagActionNo: no action will be allowed on the form. Constant diagActionToute (default value): all possible actions will be allowed on the shape.
Angle	Real	Angle of rotation of the shape (in degrees).
Background	Constant, integer or Color	Background color of the shape. The Color property is used to define the background color of the shape. This property can correspond to: an RGB color (returned by RGB), an HSL color (returned by HSL), a WLanguage preset color. a variable of type Color. In this case, the opacity specified in the variable is taken into account.
Border	diagBorder	Characteristics of the shape border. The available properties are: Color: border color. Thickness: edge thickness. Type: type of border.
Comment	Character string	Note about the shape. This note is not displayed.
ConnectionPoint	Array of diagConnectionPoint	List of connection points of the shape.
New in version 2025 Extra	Variant	Allows you to store advanced information without affecting the execution of the application. You can store values of any type (array, etc.). It is also possible to add members to the Extra property. Example: MyVariable.Extra.Info1 = Value MyVariable.Extra[Info2] = Value2 MyVariable.Extra.Date = DateSys()
Height	Real	Height of the box that contains the shape before rotation or zoom, expressed in pixels.
Name	Character string	Shape name. This name will be used for searching, for example, if the shape is in a library.
Note	Character string	Note associated with the shape.
Opacity	Integer	Percentage of opacity of the shape. This value ranges from invisible (0) to completely opaque (100).
Shadow	Boolean	True if the shape has a shadow, False otherwise.
Text	diagText	Text (with formatting) inside the shape.
Width	Real	Width of the box that contains the shape before rotation or zoom, expressed in pixels.
X	Real	X-coordinate of the box that contains the shape before rotation or zoom, expressed in pixels. This X-coordinate is relative to the parent of the shape.
Y	Real	Y-coordinate of the box that contains the shape before rotation or zoom, expressed in pixels. This Y-coordinate is relative to the parent of the shape.
