Syntax
Z/M values are supported for Point, PLine, region, multipoint, and collection objects only.
Create Point
Create Point [ supportmz ]
[ Into { Window window_id | Variable var_name } ]
( x, y[, [z][,m]] )
[ Symbol... ] [ Priority n ] [ Name framename ]window_id is a window identifier.
var_name is the name of an existing object variable.
x, y specifies the location of the point.
The Symbol clause specifies a symbol style.
n is an integer value indicating the Z-Order value of objects (frames) on the Layout window.
framename is a string representing the name for this item in a Layout window.
supportmz token is optional, passed when setting the z/m value.
z is a Z value.
m is an M value.
Create Pline
Create Pline [ supportmz ]
[ Into { Window window_id | Variable var_name } ]
[ Multiple num_sections ]
num_points ( x1, y1[, [z1][,m1]] ) ( x2, y2[, [z2][,m2]] ) [ ... ]
[ Pen... ]
[ Smooth ] [ Priority n ] [ Name framename ] window_id is a window identifier.
var_name is the name of an existing object variable.
num_points specifies how many nodes the polyline will contain.
num_sections specifies how many sections the multi-section polyline will contain.
Each x, y pair defines a node of the polyline.
The Pen clause specifies a line style.
n is an integer value indicating the Z-Order value of objects (frames) on the Layout window.
framename is a string representing the name for this item in a Layout window.
supportmz token is optional, passed when setting the z/m value.
z is a Z value.
m is an M value
Create Region [ supportmz ]
[ Into { Window window_id | Variable var_name } ]
num_polygons
[ num_points1 ( x1, y1[, [z1][,m1]] ) ( x2, y2[, [z2][,m2]] ) [ ... ] ]
[ num_points2 ( x1, y1[, [z1][,m1]] ) ( x2, y2[, [z2][,m2]] ) [ ... ] ... ]
[ Pen ... ]
[ Brush ... ]
[ Center ( center_x, center_y ) ]
[ Priority n ] [ Name framename ] window_id is a window identifier.
var_name is the name of an existing object variable.
num_polygons specifies the number of polygons that will make up the region (zero or more).
num_points1 specifies the number of nodes in the region's first polygon.
num_points2 specifies the number of nodes in the region's second polygon, etc.
Each x, y pair specifies one node of a polygon.
Pen is a valid Pen clause to specify a line style.
Brush is a valid Brush clause to specify fill style.
center_x is the x-coordinate of the object centroid.
center_y is the y-coordinate of the object centroid.
n is an integer value indicating the Z-Order value of objects (frames) on the Layout window.
framename is a string representing the name for this item in a Layout window.
supportmz token is optional, passed when setting the z/m value.
z is a Z value.
m is an M value
Create Multipoint [ supportmz ]
[ Into { Window window_id | Variable var_name } ]

( x1, y1[, [z1][,m1]] ) ( x2, y2[, [z2][,m2]] ) [ ... ]
[ Symbol... ] window_id is a window identifier.
var_name is the name of an existing object variable.
num_points is the number of points inside a Multipoint object.
x, y specifies the location of the point.
supportmz token is optional, passed when setting the z/m value.
z is a Z value.
m is an M value.
