REPROJECT USA Add-In

The Reproject USA Add-In re-projects and edits a geographic area layer that has a global extent. The result is a map layer with the USA on the central meridian. Such area layers are generally for visual purposes. As can be seen in the map below for example, desire lines between cities involving the Americas can be better visualized.

The macro illustrates:

1. How to use the area and line layer conversion functions
2. How to use the ChooseFile(), ChooseFileName() and GetTempFile() functions
3. Various usage of coordinates in adding links and in map projections and scopes
4. How to use the AddLayerToWorkspace() and DropLayerFromWorkspace() functions
5. How to add Cancel buttons to progress bars created by GISDK functions
6. How to use other functions: GetDBInfo(), GetDBLayers(), SetMapRedraw(), GetLayerType()
7. How to use Macro "G30 new layer default settings"
