Specifies the maximum number of shapes that are accurately converted at one time when the map style is changed to birdseye.

VEMap.SetShapesAccuracyRequestLimit(max);

Parameters

Parameter Description

max

The maximum number of shapes that are accurately converted.

Remarks

By default, shapes are not subject to increased accuracy representation when the map style is set to birdseye (the default accuracy is VEShapeAccuracy.None). Use the VEMap.SetShapesAccuracy Method to improve the accuracy of shapes when setting the map style to birdseye. By default, up to 50 shapes are converted at a time. To change this value, use this method.

The examples uses the following custom images.
