AddVectorMap

AddVectorMap adds a new vector map. Returns a MapFrame object.

Syntax

object.AddVectorMap( GridFileName1, GridFileName2, CoordSys, AngleSys, AngleUnits)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
GridFileName1	String		required; This provides the 1-grid vector map grid file name, or a two-grid X component (angle) grid file name.
GridFileName2	String	""	optional; This provide, two-grid vector map Y component (length) grid file name.
CoordSys	SrfVecCoordSys	srfVecCartesian	optional; This provides the two-grid vector map coordinate system.
AngleSys	SrfVecAngleSys	srfVecBearing	optional; This provides the two-grid vector map angle system for polar coordinates
AngleUnits	SrfVecAngleUnits	srfVecDegrees	optional; This provides the two-grid vector map unit type for polar coordinates

Example 1

This example demonstrates how to create a map coordinate system named MapFrame followed by its corresponding vector map named VectorLayer from the grid file named "demogrid.grd."

'declares MapFrame object and creates a new 1-grid vector map

Dim MapFrame As Object

Set MapFrame = Shapes.AddVectorMap(GridFileName1:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\demogrid.grd")

 

'declares VectorLayer object and sets the reference to the 1-grid vector layer

Dim VectorLayer As Object

Set VectorLayer = MapFrame.Overlays(1)
