We use maps at the moment that are raster renderings of vector maps. They come from TensingSKS and they have their own mapping software that does this. I'm surprised that a market leading product such as mapinfo doesn't have this feature. Perhaps there's a plug-in for mapinfo that does this. -----Original Message----- From: B.

You can't do that with MapInfo. This surprises me too. You'd think that after so many years MapInfo would have added a feature such as this that so dramatically improves the appearances of a map. I wrote a simple MapInfo to SVG translator that shows that when you display a map via SVG, the anti-aliasing really improves a map's graphic quality. If you want to try SVG, you can download the translator from http://www.gisnet.com/notebook/SVG_mapping.htm. - Bill Thoen ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
