AddByPoints Method

Description

Creates the referenced object by specifying a set of points.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function AddByPoints( _ ByVal PointCount As Long, _ ByRef Points() As Double _ ) As Boundary2d

Parameters

PointCount: Specifies the number of points in the Points array.
Points: Specifies the x and y coordinates of the points used to define the boundary geometry.

Remarks

The active Fill Style is assigned to the Boundary2d object created by this method. No relationships to bounding objects are created by this method. This method can only create a simple boundary without any holes.

Example
