AddPolygon

AddPolygon adds a new simple polygon shape. Returns a Polygon object.

Syntax

object.AddPolygon( Vertices )

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
Vertices	Array of Doubles		required; This provides the vertices as XY coordinates.

Remarks

Either page units or map coordinates are used for the vertices. When the polygon is added to the plot, use page units for the vertices' coordinates. When the polygon is added to a map layer, use map coordinates to specify the vertices' coordinates. Vertices is an array containing alternating XY coordinates. This assumes the entire array is used. VB users can use

Example 1

This example demonstrates how to create a polygon using an array of doubles named Coordinates. The even numbered elements within the Coordinates array represent X values, while the odd numbered elements represent their corresponding Y values.

'declares Polygon object

Dim Polygon As Object

 

'declares Coordinates array and sets the element values

Dim Coordinates(5) As Double

Coordinates(0) = 4: Coordinates(1) = 1

Coordinates(2) = 7: Coordinates(3) = 3

Coordinates(4) = 2: Coordinates(5) = 6

 

'creates a new polygon

Set Polygon = Shapes.AddPolygon(Coordinates)
