ahoy listers
a MapBasic question here (and i imagine it will be dead simple). i have
a number of MI tables that make up a map of the UK when opened togther
in the same mapper window. one of the tables contains a series of
regions within the UK (there are quite a lot of them - approx 180. we've
wrtten some code which opens up all the tables in a mapper and then
styles them up in the correct manner.
what i want to be able to do now is to return the minimum bounds of each
of these regions (we've come across the mbr function) when jumped too
and then zoom in to those minimum bounds. It would also then be nice to
be able to zoom out a bit (say by 10% or so).
any ideas ???
thanks in advance
Jonathan
