Hello Ron,

The Convex Hull feature (Pro v6.0+) may give you a satisfactory result for
groups A and B, but it will not make a multi-polygon region out of C. A
MapBasic program could detect the clusters using some criteria and then run
it through the Convex Hull generator. I have not seen any specific tools
around to do this.

Subject: MI-L Drawing Regions or Polygons using MapBasic


I have several thousand groups of points on a map.  I would like to draw
arbitrary boundaries around these groups of points.
Since it is too much work to draw boundaries around each group, it must be
done using a program.
For example:

Group 1                   Group 2                  Group 3

      aaaa                     b                  cc          ccc
     aaaaa                  bbbbb             ccc        cccc
     aaaaa                 bbbbbbb            ccccccccc
     aaaa                   bbbbbb                 cccc
                                  bbb                       ccc

Draw a boundary around each of these irregularly shaped groupings.

Does anyone have an mbx or other tool that can accomplish this?

TIA
