[Shapedotnet-development] Exposing MapMetrics

[Rife, R. <ri...@pw...>]

I found it hard to create a shapefile outside of the Map object's
AddLayer method and later use the Map's InsertLayer method to add it to
the map.  This is mostly because of the Shapefile's contructor requiring
a MapMetric object.  I think it would be useful to"

1)       expose the Map's _mapMetrics variable as a public property so
it can be used in the creation of standalone Shapefile objects

and/or

2)       have a Shapefile constructor that does not require a MapMetrics
object and have a metrics property on the Shapefile that can be set
during the InsertLayer method call on the Map

I prefer the 2nd approach mostly because it allows for the most
flexibility.  Later.
