I am making my own custom control just using shapes, and it looks really good except my rectangle shape is growing in the wrong direction. I don't see a way to 'flip' a shape, is that possible?

To explain.

1. I created a rectangle shape that is tall and thin but which grows in height based on a slider.

2. Height = slider1.value

3. It's working but it grows in height moving downward and I want it to grow in height moving upward.

Can anyone help?

Wow.. 2016..
Put your Shape1.Y reference to other fixed item(Shape2).
Shape1.Y= Shape2.Y-Shape1.Height

We can use HTML (CSS like) to create Shape that are not available in Canvas.

Re: Custom Control - Rotate/Flip?

Unfortunately I can't change the Y value as that will move the shape from left to right. It's sitting on an image so the bottom of it must be anchored down.

Sorry rotate is not supported, I think I already put rotating shapes as a suggestion when I wanted to flip a triangle around to make a call out pointer.

Thanks for your help though!

Re: Custom Control - Rotate/Flip?

Audrie, try this:

shape.Y = 100 - Slider1.Value
shape.Height = 50 + Slider1.Value

That should simulate the behavior you are after.

Rotation is not currently supported for shapes.

I hope this helps.

Re: Custom Control - Rotate/Flip?

Hi Audrie,

I added several shapes in my App, a Rectangle, a Triangle, a Back arrow. When I changed the Height property of each shape to a larger value, the shapes grow in height moving downward, when I changed the Height property of each shape to a smaller value, the shapes grow in height moving upward.

About this issue, could you submit an idea at PowerApps Ideas Forum?

It seems that currently it is not possible to rotate a shape. I have seen an Idea on PowerApps Ideas Forum from you. You could vote this idea at PowerApps Ideas Forum:
