DuplicateMap()

Creates a copy of a map.

Added to Version 6.0/2012.

map_name = DuplicateMap(string mapname, array options)

Argument	Contents
mapname	The name of the map to copy

Option	Type	Contents
Activate Macro	String	The name of a macro called whenever the map window is activated
Auto Project	Boolean	If "True" the map projection is chosen automatically based on the current scope and scale; if "False" projections are not automatically changed
Close Macro	String	The name of a macro called when the user closes the map from the system menu
Done Macro	String	The name of a macro that is called after the window is closed
Locked	Boolean	If "True" the Close option does not appear in the system menu; if "False" the Close option does appear
Menu	String	The menu associated with the map window
Position	2 integers	The screen location of the window (x, y)
Scale Change Macro	String	The name of a macro function called whenever the scale or scope of the map changes
Scope	Scope	The initial (default) scope of the map
Size	2 integers	The screen size of the window (x, y)
Toolbar	String	The toolbar associated with the map window

A string indicating the name of the new map.

The scale change macro runs whenever the map scale changes. This occurs when functions such as SetMapScope() or SetScale()) are called, or when the user resizes or reshapes the map window.
The position and size of the map window are expressed as percentages of the Maptitude frame.
The attached menu and toolbar are automatically displayed whenever the map is activated.
If the menu, toolbar, activate macro, close macro, or scale change macro is not specified, DuplicateMap() uses the default specified with SetDefaults(). If a map specific default was not specified with SetDefaults() then DuplicateMap() uses the generic default.
