Hello Darrin,

Unfortunately, this level of cross-table analysis is (I believe) more than
can be accomplished with MapInfo's SQL implementation. MapInfo/MapBasic has
built-in functions to find percentage overlaps. If you do not want to buy
MapBasic, there are some developers on the list who may be able to create
this fairly simple tool.

Subject: MI-L area of overlap


Hello,

I have two sets (layers) of polygons.  For each polygon in
Layer1, I want to calculate how much of its area - as a
percentage - lies within any polygon in Layer2.  (Layer1
polygons are very small, Layer2 polygons are very big and
spread out.)

Does anyone have advice for how to accomplish this without
the MapBasic compiler?

Thank you in advance.

Darrin
