Public Interface ArrowSettings

The following members return ArrowSettings objects:

Remarks

Use the ArrowSettings properties to specify the arrowhead type (ArrowSettings.StartArrowheadType and ArrowSettings.EndArrowheadType), length (ArrowSettings.StartArrowheadLength and ArrowSettings.EndArrowheadLength) and width (ArrowSettings.StartArrowheadWidth and ArrowSettings.EndArrowheadWidth).

The ConnectorFormat.Arrows property returns the ArrowSettings objects.

Example

The code sample below shows how to insert a shape connector, provide it with arrows, change the outline color and attach it to shapes. Both ends are connected to the third connection site of each shape.

csharp
// Insert a shape connector.
Shape shapeConnector = worksheet.Shapes.AddConnector(ConnectorType.Curved, 10, 10, 100, 100);
// Adjust the connector's outline.
shapeConnector.Outline.SetSolidFill(Color.Black);
shapeConnector.Outline.Width = 2.5;

// Convert the connector's ends into arrows.
ConnectorFormat connectorFormat = shapeConnector.ConnectorFormat;
connectorFormat.Arrows.StartArrowheadType = ArrowheadType.Stealth;
connectorFormat.Arrows.StartArrowheadWidth = ArrowheadSize.Large;
connectorFormat.Arrows.StartArrowheadLength = ArrowheadSize.Large;

connectorFormat.Arrows.EndArrowheadType = ArrowheadType.Stealth;
connectorFormat.Arrows.EndArrowheadWidth = ArrowheadSize.Large;
connectorFormat.Arrows.EndArrowheadLength = ArrowheadSize.Large;

// Bind the connector to two shapes.
connectorFormat.ConnectStartPoint(shape1, 3);
connectorFormat.ConnectEndPoint(shape2, 3);
vb
' Insert a shape connector.
Dim shapeConnector As Shape = worksheet.Shapes.AddConnector(ConnectorType.Curved, 10, 10, 100, 100)
' Adjust the connector's outline.
shapeConnector.Outline.SetSolidFill(Color.Black)
shapeConnector.Outline.Width = 2.5

' Convert the connector's ends into arrows.
Dim connectorFormat As ConnectorFormat = shapeConnector.ConnectorFormat
connectorFormat.Arrows.StartArrowheadType = ArrowheadType.Stealth
connectorFormat.Arrows.StartArrowheadWidth = ArrowheadSize.Large
connectorFormat.Arrows.StartArrowheadLength = ArrowheadSize.Large

connectorFormat.Arrows.EndArrowheadType = ArrowheadType.Stealth
connectorFormat.Arrows.EndArrowheadWidth = ArrowheadSize.Large
connectorFormat.Arrows.EndArrowheadLength = ArrowheadSize.Large

' Bind the connector to two shapes.
connectorFormat.ConnectStartPoint(shape1, 3)
connectorFormat.ConnectEndPoint(shape2, 3)
