Description
Returns a value that indicates the type of geometric shape associated with the Points object.
Property type
Read-only property
Syntax
variable = object.ShapeType |

Return Type
Long
Remarks
The possible return values (ShapeType constants) for a multipoint are:
| Value | ShapeType |
|---|---|
| 8 | MultiPoint |
| 18 | MultiPointZ |
| 21 | MultiPointM |
Example
ProjectLLToMap projects WGS 1984 latitude/longitude coordinates to map projection coordinates.
