Map.GetShape (gb.map)

Function GetShape ( Name As String ) As _MapShape

Dal 3.13

Returns an existing _MapShape Layer object.

This is an alternative method to fetch Map array elements. This method returns a _MapShape object, while fetching directly the Map array returns a _MapLayer object.

  • Name - defines the Shape Layer name

Example:

Private hMap as New Map

Public Sub _New()

  hMap.AddShape("MyShape")
  hMap.GetShape("MyShape").Opacity = 0.3
  hMap.GetShape("MyShape").AddPoint("MyPoint", MapPoint(48.86, 2.33))

End

Public Sub DrawingArea1_Draw()

  hMap.Width = Draw.Width
  hMap.Height = Draw.Height
  hMap.Draw()

End

instead of

Private hMap as New Map

Public Sub _New()

  hMap.AddShape("MyShape")
  hMap["MyShape"].Opacity = 0.3
  hMap["MyShape"].AddPoint("MyPoint", MapPoint(48.86, 2.33))

End

Public Sub DrawingArea1_Draw()

  hMap.Width = Draw.Width
  hMap.Height = Draw.Height
  hMap.Draw()

End
