Example

This example creates a symbol map of California.

 

Sub Main

'Creates an instance of the MapViewer Application

'object and assigns it to the variable named "mvapp"

 Set mvapp = CreateObject("MapViewer.Application")

 

'Make MapViewer visible

 mvapp.Visible = True

 

'Declare Plot as Object

 Dim Plot As Object

 

'Creates a new map window

 Set Plot = mvapp.Documents.Add(mvDocPlot)

 

'Declare SymbolMap as object

 Dim SymbolMap As Object

 

'Create a symbol map

 Set SymbolMap= Plot.CreateSymbolMap(BoundaryFileName:= _

 mvapp.ApplicationFolder + "\Samples\ca2010.gsb", DataFileName:= _

 mvapp.ApplicationFolder + "\Samples\ca2010.dat", _

 BoundaryFileOptions:="AreasToCurves=0", PIDCol:=1, VarCol:=3)
