AddContourMap

AddContourMap adds a new contour map. Returns a MapFrame object.

Syntax

object.AddContourMap( GridFileName )

Parameter

Type

Default

Description

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 contour map named ContourLayer from the grid file named demogrid.grd.

'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)
