AddSurfaceLayer
AddSurfaceLayer adds a new surface layer to a MapFrame object. Returns a Surface object.
Syntax
object. AddSurfaceLayer( Map, GridFileName )

Type |
Default |
Description |
|
Map |
required; This specifies the MapFrame object to which the surface plot 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 contour layer named ContourLayer from the grid file named demogrid.grd. It then creates a surface layer in the MapFrame with AddSurfaceLayer and names the layer Surface.
'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 Surface object and add a 3D surface layer to the map
Dim Surface As Object
Set Surface = Shapes.AddSurfaceLayer(Map:=MapFrame, GridFileName:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\demogrid.grd")
