In MI Pro 7.0 there is a SNAP/THIN option under the OBJECTS menu...it
provides some functions to generalize/simplify by thinning out nodes on
lines...

Subject: MI-L Generalization


Dear all

Does someone know a tool or a way in which MI would allow me to simplify a
network? MapInfo describes it as: The process of simplifying a data set to a
size which can be easily manipulated and represented. For example, a river
may have many twists and turns; however, if a map covers a very large area,
the river may be represented as a straight line. Similarly, in a map of a
very large area, a city might be represented as a point marker.

I have to generalize the rail network for illustrations. Which function in
MI should I use?

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards

Christian Cattaneo
