AddClassedPostMap

The AddClassedPostMap method is superseded by AddClassedPostMap2. Please consider using the more recent version. AddClassedPostMap has been retained for backward compatibility.

AddClassedPostMap adds a new classed post map. Returns a MapFrame object.

The AddClassedPostMap2 command should specifically be used instead of AddClassedPostMap, when the worksheet being loaded is an Excel file where the sheet name needs to be specified. It can also be used to specify any data import options when loading a data file.

Syntax

object.AddClassedPostMap( DataFileName, xCol, yCol, zCol, LabCol )

Parameter	Type	Required/ Optional	Default	Description
DataFileName	String	Required		This provides the name of the XYZ data file.
xCol	Long	Optional	1 (column A)	This provides the column containing X coordinates.
yCol	Long	Optional	2 (column B)	This provides the column containing Y coordinates.
zCol	Long	Optional	3 (column C)	This provides the column containing the class information.
LabCol	Long	Optional		This provides the column containing labels.

Remarks

Default=0 means use the default column. xCol defaults to column A , yCol defaults to column B, and zCol defaults to column C. LabCol defaults to none. Worksheet column numbers begin with 1. This means that column A = 1, column B = 2, etc.

Example 1

This example demonstrates how to create a map coordinate system named MapFrame followed by its corresponding classed post map named ClassedPostLayer from the data file named demogrid.dat.

Dim MapFrame As Object

Set MapFrame = Shapes.AddClassedPostMap(DataFileName:=SurferApp.Path+"\Samples\demogrid.dat")

Dim ClassedPostLayer As Object

Set ClassedPostLayer = MapFrame.Overlays(1)
