AddReliefLayer

The AddReliefLayer method has been deprecated. Use AddColorReliefLayer instead.

AddReliefLayer adds a new shaded relief layer to a specified MapFrame object. Returns a ReliefLayer Object

Syntax

object. AddReliefLayer( Map, GridFileName )

Parameter

Type

Default

Description

Map

MapFrame

required; This specifies the MapFrame object to which the shaded relief 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 contour map and coordinate system named MapFrame followed by its corresponding relief map named ContourLayer from the grid file named "demogrid.grd." It then creates a shaded relief map layer with AddReliefLayer in the MapFrame and names the layer ReliefLayer.

'declare MapFrame object and create a new contour map

Dim MapFrame As Object

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

 

'declare ContourLayer object and set the reference to the contour layer

Dim ContourLayer As Object

Set ContourLayer = MapFrame.Overlays(1)

 

'declare ReliefLayer object and add a shaded relief layer to the map

Dim ReliefLayer As Object

Set ReliefLayer = Shapes.AddReliefLayer(Map:=MapFrame,_

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