Samples

GISDK allows you to show samples of points, lines, areas, and text in dialog boxes and menus. Maptitude uses samples in the style dialog boxes to show how features will look when they are drawn on a map. You can create samples from scratch, or get samples for any layer, selection set or theme in a map, using the following GISDK functions:
