Sub Main

 

 'Declares GrapherApp as an object

  Dim GrapherApp As Object

 

 'Creates an instance of the Grapher Application object

 'and assigns it to the variable named "GrapherApp"

  Set GrapherApp = CreateObject("Grapher.Application")

 

 'Makes Grapher visible

  GrapherApp.Visible = True

 

 'Declares Plot as an object

  Dim Plot As Object

 

 'Creates a plot document in Grapher and assigns

 'it to the variable named "Plot"

  Set Plot = GrapherApp.Documents.Add(grfPlotDoc)

 

 'Declares Shapes as an object

  Dim Shapes As Object

 

 'Assigns the AutoShapes collection to the

 'variable named "Shapes"

  Set Shapes = Plot.Shapes

 

 'Declares Ellipse as an object

  Dim Ellipse As Object

 

 'Creates an ellipse and assigns it to the

 'variable named "Ellipse"

  Set Ellipse = Shapes.AddEllipse(5,7,6,10)

 

 'Declares FillFormat as an object

  Dim FillFormat As Object

 

 'Assigns the fill properties of the ellipse

 'to the variable named "FillFormat"

  Set FillFormat = Ellipse.Fill
