Hi Rob,
I assume you're at least thinking about intranet, since internet usage of MIPro is
(unfortunately) specifically banned in the
license agreement. Or is it web usage in general ?? Or have you found a loop hole, or
made a deal with MapInfo ?? Let me know if
either is true ;-D
In any case, it's rather simple to utilize MIPro in a web scenario, and it has been
since version 4.1 (since ProServer) !
VB/ASP:
Set objMIPro = CreateObject("MapInfo.Application")
...
objMIPro.Do "Save Window " & MapperWID & " As ""JPEG"" Width 5 Units ""in"" Height
5 Units ""in"""
PHP:
$mipro = new COM("MapInfo.Application");
...
$mipro->Do("Save Window " & MapperWID & " As \"JPEG\" Width 5 Units \"in\" Height
5 Units \"in\"");
etc. etc. MIPro even contains a MapGen object, which is a "MapX version 0.1", and
represents a mapper window in MIPro.
But to sum up, it's all in the scripting/programming. It just needs to handle
ActiveX/COM.
