AddContourLayer

AddContourLayer adds a new contour layer to a MapFrame object. Returns a ContourLayer object.

Syntax

object. AddContourLayer( Map, GridFileName )

Parameter

Type

Default

Description

Map

MapFrame

required; This specifies the MapFrame object to which the contour map layer is added.

GridFileName

String

required; This provides the path and file name of the grid file.

Example 1

This example demonstrates how to create a map coordinate system named MapFrame followed by its corresponding color relief map named ColorReliefLayer from the grid file named demogrid.grd. It then creates a contour map layer in the MapFrame object with AddCountourLayer and names the layer ContourLayer.

'declare MapFrame object and create a color relief map

Dim MapFrame As Object

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

 

'declare ColorReliefLayer object and set the reference to the color relief layer

Dim ColorReliefLayer As Object

Set ColorReliefLayer = MapFrame.Overlays(1)

 

'declare ContourLayer object and add the contour layer to the map

Dim ContourLayer As Object

Set ContourLayer = Shapes.AddContourLayer(Map:= MapFrame, _

GridFileName:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\demogrid.grd")
