Thanks Stewart! I actually just thought of one more question...
Is there a way to generate a map title that can be displayed directly on the map, in a constant location with respect to the physical layout of the map (e.g., 2 inches from the top, etc.)? While "AddAnnotation" ultimately does the job, I'd prefer a function that associates text with a position on the layout, as opposed to a longitude/latitude coordinate. (That way, I'd be able to both fiddle around with a map's scope without having to worry about readjusting the title's position, as well as use the same code for maps with a different scope altogether.) Any ideas? ~Dan --- In [email protected], "Stewart Berry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Group: > > ShowArray() is a good way to get a general view of the contents of a compound variable: > > ShowArray({GetMapScope()}) > > However, there is a section in the Online Help called "Compound Variables".
