 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)
