You could do a loop through the layer and get each object, query the object to find out its centroid co-ordinates and then query to see if any others have the same. Then you can just delete the identical polygons.
The mapbasic user's guide or help files are as good a place as any to start learning mapbasic. ------------------------------- Kind Regards, Colin Henderson GI Developer Ordnance Survey Tel: +44 (0)2380 79 2327 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: paradigm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 March 2002 08:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Eliminating duplicate Polygons Hello, Iam new to mapbasic programming. I have hands-on experience on visual basic and SQL. Can anyone suggest me books to start with. First task given to me is to write a program to eliminate duplicate polygons in the same layer. I tried with correlated subquery in the mapbasic window. Unfortunately correlated subqueries are not supported by mapbasic. Please let me know if anyone has source code or knows method to eliminate duplicate polygons in the same layer.
