PictureFormat.IncrementBrightness method (Word)

  • Article

Changes the brightness of the picture by the specified amount.

Syntax

expression.IncrementBrightness (Increment)

expression Required. A variable that represents a 'PictureFormat' object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data type Description
Increment Required Single Specifies how much to change the value of the Brightness property for the picture. A positive value makes the picture brighter; a negative value makes the picture darker.

Remarks

You cannot adjust the brightness of a picture past the upper or lower limit for the Brightness property. For example, if the Brightness property is initially set to 0.9 and you specify 0.3 for the Increment argument, the resulting brightness level will be 1.0, which is the upper limit for the Brightness property, instead of 1.2.

Use the Brightness property to set the absolute brightness of the picture.

Example

This example creates a duplicate of the first shape on the active document and then moves and darkens the duplicate. For the example to work, the first shape must be either a picture or an OLE object.

Dim docActive As Document 
 
Set docActive = ActiveDocument 
 
With docActive.Shapes(1).Duplicate 
 .PictureFormat.IncrementBrightness -0.2 
 .IncrementLeft 50 
 .IncrementTop 50 
End With
