AddContourLayerXYZC

AddContourLayerXYZC adds a new contour layer to a MapFrame object from a slice of a 3D grid. Returns a ContourLayer object.

Syntax

object. AddContourLayerXYZC( Map, GridXYZCFileName,SliceZValue )

Parameter

Type

Description

Map

MapFrame

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

GridXYZCFileName

String

required; This provides the path and file name of the 3D grid file.

SliceZValue

Double

required; The Z-value of the XYZC slice to use as the contour's surface

Example 1

This example demonstrates how to create a map coordinate systemnamed MapFrame followed by its corresponding color relief map named ColorReliefLayer from the 3D grid file named GoldConcentrationXYZC.vtk. It then creates a contour map layer in the MapFrame object with AddCountourLayerXYZC and names the layer ContourLayer.

'declare MapFrame object and create a color relief map

Dim MapFrame As Object

Set MapFrame = Shapes.AddColorReliefMapXYZC(GridXYZCFileName:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\GoldConcentrationXYZC.vtk", SliceZValue:=65)

 

'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.AddContourLayerXYZC(Map:= MapFrame, _

GridXYZCFileName:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\GoldConcentrationXYZC.vtk", SliceZValue:=65)
