If no Position parameter is specified, the layer is positioned automatically with respect to other layers in the map. For example, a layer with points is placed above a layer with regions.

14. Page 14 标准 Tool 的使用 很多地图应用，都需要用户给出一些地图控件。大多数 解决方法是提供给用户一些工具类型。 Map1.CurrentTool = miRadiusSelectTool Map1 是 MapX 的对象名， miRadiusSelect 是常量。在指定位置 使用用户工具。

15. Page 15 标准 Tool 的分类  Navigation tools (Zoom-In, Zoom-Out, Pan, Center) that let the user change the scale and placement of the map.  A Labeling tool that lets the user click a map feature to label it.  A set of Selection tools that give the user various ways to select map features.  Annotations (symbols and text).

16. Page 16 标准 Tool 的使用

17. Page 17 自定义 Tools  用户可以创建自定义工具，按照以下三步. 创建工具. 编写工具程序代码. 使用工具

18. Page 18 Step 1: 创建用户自定义工具 下面是帮助文件中解释用户自定义工具的说明， [ ] 里面是可 选参数：  Map.CreateCustomTool ToolNumber, Type, Cursor, [ShiftCursor], [CtrlCursor] ToolNumber 以后要引用工具的编号，在 1-99 之间 Type 描述工具类型 Cursor 当前使用工具的光标形状。 ShiftCursor 当前使用工具的光标形状 ，按住 键光标 被隐藏。 CtrlCursor 当前使用工具的光标形状，按住 键光标被隐 藏。

19. Page 19 常数

20. Page 20 自定义 Tools  Step2. 指定程序将执行的任务： 使用过程工具 例如，你要画一条长线，这时用户需要 在地图上使用工具记录移动的状况。由此，在地图对 象上使用 MouseMove 事件。 使用工具 例如，用鼠标画出一个圆，以便计算圆内的 用户数。由此，需要使用功能性工具，在地图对象上 使用 ToolUsed 事件。

21. Page 21 自定义 Tools  Step3. 如果要使用工具，需要设置 MapX 对 象 CurrentTool 的值。 Map1.CurrentTool = miCenterTool Map1.CurentTool = 430

25. Page 25 coordinate Every map has a coordinate system, which affects mapping software in various ways:  The coordinate system affects how X-Y coordinates are processed. For example, a location can be expressed in terms of degrees longitude/latitude, or it can be expressed in terms of other units, such as meters.  The coordinate system affects the appearance of the map. Changing a map's coordinate system can make the map appear stretched or distorted.

27. Page 27 coordinate  Map.DisplayCoordSys 显示坐标系统  Map.NumericCoordSys 数字坐标系统  Layer.CoordSys If you set the Map.DisplayCoordSys to match a Layer.CoordSys, you maximize the display speed of that layer. Note: If a map includes one or more raster image layers, MapX automatically displays the map in the projection specified by the most visible raster image. The coordinate system could then change as the map view changes (due to zooming or panning) if a different raster image with a different projection becomes the most visible. In this case, you cannot change the map's display coordinate system.
