All of the available post map label properties can be found in the PostLayer Object Help topic in the Properties table. The script below demonstrates how to create a post map with a label column, assign it to the overlays collection, and then adjust several label properties.
For example:
Set MapFrame = Plot.Shapes.AddPostMap(SurferApp.Path+"\samples\demogrid.dat", LabCol:=3) Dim PostLayer As Object Set PostLayer = MapFrame.Overlays(1) 'Sets the label format properties. For all options, see LabelFormat object. PostLayer.LabelFormat.NumDigits = 1 PostLayer.LabelFormat.Type = srfLabFixed 'Sets the label font properties. For all optiosn, see FontFormat object. PostLayer.LabelFont.Face = "Comic Sans MS" PostLayer.LabelFont.Size = 14 PostLayer.LabelFont.ForeColorRGBA.Color = srfColorBlue PostLayer.LabelFont.Bold = True 'Sets the angle for the label text PostLayer.LabelAngle = 30 'Sets the label position relative to the symbol PostLayer.LabelPos = srfPostPosUser PostLayer.LabelPos = srfPostPosUser 'Sets the X and Y offset for custom label positions relative to the symbol. This is only active if the LabelPos above is set to User (User Defined). PostLayer.LabelXOffset = 0.02 PostLayer.LabelYOffset = 0.01 'Sets the 3D label line properties. See LineFormat object for all line property options. PostLayer.LabelLine.ForeColorRGBA.Color = srfColorGreen 'Sets the length of the 3D label lines PostLayer.LabelLineLength = 0.5 'Sets the plane for the labels PostLayer.LabelPlane = srfPostScreen
