Sub Main
'Declares mvApp as an object
Dim mvApp As Object
'Creates an instance of the MapViewer Application object
'and assigns it to the variable named "mvApp"
Set mvApp = CreateObject("MapViewer.Application")
'Makes MapViewer visible
mvApp.Visible = True
'Declares Plot as an object
Dim Plot As Object
'Creates a map document in MapViewer and assigns
'it to the variable named "Plot"
Set Plot = mvApp.Documents.Add(mvDocPlot)
'Declares PlotLayers as an object
Dim PlotLayers As Object
'Assigns the map document layers to the
'variable named "PlotLayers"
Set PlotLayers = Plot.Layers
'Declares CurrentLayer as an object
Dim CurrentLayer As Object
'Assigns the active plot layer to the
'variable named "CurrentLayer"
Set CurrentLayer = PlotLayers.ActiveLayer
'Declares Bitmap as an object
Dim Bitmap As Object
Set Bitmap = Plot.CreateBaseMap(FileName:= mvapp.ApplicationFolder + _
"\ samples\bitmap.tif")
