A read-write property specifying whether lines are sampled at equal intervals or are broken into a given number of sections.

A mcLineProfilesSampleModes enumeration.  

object.SampleMode [= value]

The SampleMode Property syntax has these parts:

The settings for value are:

Constant		Value	Description
	mclpsmFixedNumberOfSamples	0	The line is broken into a fixed number of samples given by the McLineProfiles.NumberOfSamplesDesired property.
	mclpsmFixedSampleLength	1	The line is broken into samples of a length given by the McLineProfiles.LengthPerSampleDesired property. The last (or only) sample may be shorter than the specified length.

The SampleMode determines whether lines are sampled with equal numbers of samples or with samples of equal length. The NumberOfSamplesDesired property sets or gives the number of samples per line desired when SampleMode is mclpsmFixedNumberOfSamples. The LengthPerSampleDesired property sets or gives the length per sample desired when SampleMode is mclpsmFixedSampleLength.

By default, SampleMode is mclpsmFixedSampleLength and LengthPerSampleDesired is 1.0 pixel, so that samples will be taken at 1 pixel intervals along the length of the line features.
