Drawing letters in excel - vba

Question

Is there a plugin that helps generate letters (A-Z) in excel as seen below? Or can we write some sort of VBA script to do this?

Answer 1

Stackoverflow is not a code-for-me service. Anyhow, the task looked interesting, and I have decided to code something about it:
Option Explicit
Public Sub WriteLetterA()
Dim varLetterA(8) As Variant
Dim lngColCounter As Long
Dim lngRowCounter As Long
Dim blnReverse As Boolean
Dim rngCell As Range
blnReverse = True
varLetterA(0) = Array(1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1)
varLetterA(1) = Array(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)
varLetterA(2) = Array(1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1)
varLetterA(3) = Array(1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1)
varLetterA(4) = Array(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)
varLetterA(5) = Array(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
varLetterA(6) = Array(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
varLetterA(7) = Array(0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0)
varLetterA(8) = Array(0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0)
Cells(1, 1).Select
For lngRowCounter = 0 To UBound(varLetterA)
For lngColCounter = 0 To UBound(varLetterA(lngRowCounter))
Set rngCell = Cells(lngRowCounter + 1, lngColCounter + 1)
If varLetterA(lngRowCounter)(lngColCounter) Then
rngCell.Interior.Color = IIf(blnReverse, vbBlack, vbWhite)
Else
rngCell.Interior.Color = IIf(blnReverse, vbWhite, vbBlack)
End If
Next lngColCounter
Next lngRowCounter
End Sub
' Points for improvement - varLetterA in a separate class
' Refer to the sheet, do not assume it
' Pass the first cell as a reference
This is what you get:
blnReverse = False
blnReverse = True
Take a look at the points for improvement - they can be useful, if you decide to build the rest of the alphabet. Good luck.
