The seventh, and final, 25 of the Visio ShapeSheet functions that start with the letters T – Z are visually described in the Visio document below that is available for download.
Please see the general introduction to this series at ShapeSheet Functions A-Z for more information.
Each of the ShapeSheet functions that start with the letters T – Z are on separate pages in the following Visio document. Most of the functions in this group that will work in Visio for the Web, but at access to the ShapeSheet is currently only available in Visio for the Desktop. The document can be downloaded and placed into OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online. It can then be edited in Visio for the Desktop as a tutorial, or in Visio for the Web if the offending pages, mainly any function that starts with THEME, are removed.
If the Visio document does not display above, then you can download it directly from here.
There are some undocumented ShapeSheet functions for Data Visualizer. These will be the subject of a future article.

Custom Color Themes in Visio?
I was recently looking into custom color themes for corporate branding in desktop Microsoft Visio and became re-aware how different Visio still is from the rest of the Microsoft Office applications. A Visio page or document does not need to have any theme applied, but the documents of the other Office applications always have a…
When is a Visio Callout not a Callout?
I have been a Visio user/developer since the mid-1990’s and seen the word “callout” used as part of the name of many master shapes in Visio. The images below show five ways that the term “callout” has been applied to the name of Visio master shapes. Generally, each evolution has been an advance on the…
Using Visio Color by Value on Connectors
Data Graphics in Visio Plan 2 and Visio Professional is great, but it only enables us to use them with 2D shapes in Visio, i.e. not on connectors. So, what if you want to change the line colour of the connectors between the 2D shapes because of the data flowing between them? Well, it is…
