Example

Executing the example requires a form with the following components: the Button component named Button1, the MapBox component named MapBox1, and the UiMap component named UiMap1. UiMap1 is a data source for MapBox1. The map must be connected to the UiMap1 component.

The example is a handler of the OnClick event for the Button1 component.

Add links to the Drawing, ExtCtrls, Forms, and Map system assemblies.

Sub Button1OnClick(Sender: Object; Args: IMouseEventArgs);
Var
    Map: IMap;
    MapView: IMapView;
    Image: IGxImage;
Begin
    Map := UiMap1.Map;
    MapView := Map.View;
    Image := MapView.GetImage(True, MapBox1.Width, MapBox1.Height);
    Image.SaveToFile("C:\Map.bmp");
End Sub Button1OnClick;

After executing the example all the area of the map is saved as an image to the "C:\Map.bmp" file.
