The following script demonstrates how the Ellipse object is used.
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
'Assign the shapes collection to the
'variable named "MapShapes"
Set MapShapes = CurrentLayer.Shapes
'Declares Ellipse as an object
Dim Ellipse As Object
'Creates an ellipse and assigns it to the
'variable named "Ellipse"
Set Ellipse = MapShapes.AddEllipse(Left:=4, Top:=5, _
Right:=8, Bottom:=3)
