Overloads Function CreatePredefinedShapeGraphicElement( _
   ByVal elementContainer As IElementContainer, _
   ByVal shapeType As PredefinedShape, _
   ByVal location As MapPoint, _
   Optional ByVal width As Double, _
   Optional ByVal height As Double, _
   Optional ByVal polySymbol As CIMPolygonSymbol, _
   Optional ByVal elementName As String, _
   Optional ByVal select As Boolean, _
   Optional ByVal elementInfo As ElementInfo _
) As GraphicElement

Parameters

elementContainer: The parent element container
shapeType: The shape type of the graphic
location: The location of the graphic
width: The width of the graphic bounding box (optional)
height: The height of the graphic bounding box (optional)
polySymbol: The symbol to be used with the graphic (optional)
elementName: An element name (optional)
select: Select after create flag (default is true) (optional)
elementInfo: Additional element properties (optional)

Return Value

GraphicElement

Remarks

If neither a width or height is provided, the dimensions of the graphic bounding box will use a predefined system default. If only one of width or height is provided then the dimensions will be assumed to be equal. Negative width and height values will be treated the same as if they were missing. When generating a circle (i.e. PredefinedShape.Circle) width is used as the circle diameter. When generating an ellipse (i.e. PredefinedShape.Ellipse) width and height are assumed to be the length of the two axis - major/minor depending on which dimension is the longest.
