Hi: I hope I can help. What is it that you would like to know? The help states:
Location Type Window Type Comments Scope Map A compound variable with a center, width, and height; the angle is ignored. Use Scope() <Scope.htm> or ClickRectScope() <ClickRectScope.htm> to create a scope 2 coords Layout Compound variables with an X and Y. Use Coord() <Coord.htm> to create a coord or ClickRect() <ClickRect.htm> to create a rectangle of 2 coords A coord Layout, map A compound variable with an X and Y on a layout or a lon and lat on a map. Use Coord() or ClickCoord() <ClickCoord.htm> to create a coord A coord and an alignment string Map The coord is a compound variable with an X and Y on a layout or a lon and lat on a map; use Coord() to create a coord. The alignment string can be NW, N, NE, W, C, E, SW, S or SE A circle Layout, map A compound variable with a radius and center. Use Circle() <Circle.htm> or ClickCircle() <ClickCircle.htm> to create a circle Maptitude Mapping Software <http://www.caliper.com> Group Moderator --- In [email protected], "timmelko" <timmelko@...> wrote: > > Good afternoon everyone! > > I'm hoping that someone can provide a better explanation of the {"Location", {Coord(57000, 57000), Coord(72200, 61200)}} function. > > The example that the Maptitude 6.0 help provides isn't clear enough as to how exact the 4 coordinates reference the locations properly. > > Currently it's all about trial and error for me which works somewhat, but I'd rather actually understand the system. > > Here is one of my text annotations that I'm adding to a layout as an example: > > id = AddAnnotation("Layout|" + lyts[1][1], "Text", { > {"Text", "Date Printed - " + Right(GetDateAndTime(),4)}, > {"Font", "Arial|8"}, > {"Color",ColorRGB(0,0,0)}, > {"Location", {Coord(57000, 57000), Coord(72200, 61200)}} > }) > > Tim Melko >
