AddConnector

AddConnector(ShapeType, float, float, float, float)

Creates a new Connector, tunes it from default template and adds it to the end of the collection.

public IConnector AddConnector(ShapeType shapeType, float x, float y, float width, float height)

Parameter	Type	Description
shapeType	ShapeType	The ShapeType of shape.
x	Single	The X-coordinate for a left side of shape’s frame.
y	Single	The Y-coordinate for a top side of shape’s frame.
width	Single	The width of shape’s frame.
height	Single	The height of shape’s frame.

Return Value

The zero-based index of the created shape.

Created Connector object.

Examples

The following example shows how to add a connector (a bent connector) between two shapes (an ellipse and rectangle) in PowerPoint Presentation.

[C#]
// Instantiates a presentation class that represents a PPTX file
using (Presentation input = new Presentation())
{
    // Accesses the shapes collection for a specific slide
    IShapeCollection shapes = input.Slides[0].Shapes;
    // Adds an Ellipse autoshape
    IAutoShape ellipse = shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Ellipse, 0, 100, 100, 100);
    // Adds a Rectangle autoshape
    IAutoShape rectangle = shapes.AddAutoShape(ShapeType.Rectangle, 100, 300, 100, 100);
    // Adds a connector shape to the slide shape collection
    IConnector connector = shapes.AddConnector(ShapeType.BentConnector2, 0, 0, 10, 10);
    // Connects the shapes using the connector
    connector.StartShapeConnectedTo = ellipse;
    connector.EndShapeConnectedTo = rectangle;
    // Calls reroute that sets the automatic shortest path between shapes
    connector.Reroute();
    // Saves the presentation
    input.Save("Shapes-connector.pptx", SaveFormat.Pptx);
}

public IConnector AddConnector(ShapeType shapeType, float x, float y, float width, float height, 
    bool createFromTemplate)

Parameter	Type	Description
shapeType	ShapeType	The ShapeType of shape.
x	Single	The X-coordinate for a left side of shape’s frame.
y	Single	The Y-coordinate for a top side of shape’s frame.
width	Single	The width of shape’s frame.
height	Single	The height of shape’s frame.
createFromTemplate	Boolean	If true then new shape will be tuned from default template. Not empty name, simple style, text centered will be assined to the new shape. If false then all values of the properties of the new shape will have default values.

Return Value

The zero-based index of the created shape.
