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 Rectangle As Object

 

'Creates a rectangle and assigns it to the

'variable named "Rectangle"

 Set Rectangle = MapShapes.AddRectangle(9, 8, 10.5, 4.5, True)
