Hi. Have just uploaded a product brief of a new tool into the MapInfo = Professional, Utilities section under DirectionsMag. Will load a Beta = version of the utility shortly or email for a copy. Basic idea is to = provide the same layer management functionality to any MapInfo or MapX = application. Summary of features: LayMan - Layer Management for your MapX application or MapInfo = Professional environment. Layer Control is a vital component of any mapping system. Applications = ease the burden of making setting adjustments, appropriate to their = function, but users still spend a lot of time making changes to suit = their requirements. Often these changes involve repetitive operations on = multiple layers. LayMan provides layer management beyond the scope of layer control in = current versions of MapX and MapInfo Professional. All layer attributes available in a spreadsheet style format, minimising = clicks=20 Attribute groups expand to show more information - Basic attribute = setting is achieved in the collapsed view. Double click to show more = details Single click to change a switch, enter data or bring up a style dialogue Select Multiple Rows to Repeat Attribute changes - Prior to making a = change, select all rows the change is to apply to. All cells in the same = column will change with a single click. Group Layers - Group layers to show a single group entry and to perform = subsequent operations on all layers in the group. Groups are saved for = the next call to LayMan. Double click the layer to expand/collapse a = group. Move Layers by dragging - Drag a single or multiple layers to change the = display order. Info Column - See a summary of layer attributes in the Info set, = including feature counts. Style Overrides are shown in a column - See all override styles at a = glance. MapX and MapInfo support. Call LayMan from your own MapBasic or MapX = application or as a MapInfo Tool. Pass your licensed MapX, map object to = LayMan for MapX support. Uses OLE for MapInfo support. Embedded Map Window shows changes as they are made. - Use the redraw = option to turn this off if changes are to be made collectively and = quickly. Register for full version or use in Demonstration mode - Demonstration = mode will update visibility, selectability, autolabels, editability. = Licensed version will update all attributes Phil. _____________________________________ Philip Waight Spatial Projects Pty Ltd Phone/Fax: 61 2 4861 7977 =20 Mobile: 61 (0) 418 647 697 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
