OpenMap()

Opens a map file and displays it in a map window.

map_name = OpenMap(string path, array options)

Argument	Contents
path	The path and file name of the map file

Option	Type	Contents
Activate Macro	String	The name of a macro that is 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
Force Directory	String	The path that will be used to look for layers used in the map file, before any of the other locations they would usually be searched for (including the location the files were in when the map was saved)
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 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)
Title	String	The map title, shown on the window title bar
Toolbar	String	The toolbar associated with the map window

A string containing the name of the map window.

OpenMap() opens files created by SaveMap().
The scale change macro runs whenever the map scale is altered. This occurs when appropriate functions are called (such as SetMapScope() or SetScale()) 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, OpenMap() uses the default specified with SetDefaults(). If a map specific default was not specified with SetDefaults() then OpenMap() uses the generic default.

folder = RunMacro("G30 Tutorial Folder")

mp1 = OpenMap(folder + "nesouth.map", {

{"Auto Project", "True"}

})
