Subject: Determining polygon areas and proportions within polygons


Hi all

I have a very large data set of vegetation classifications (various coloured
polygons in the base of the example map attached), in a GIS also including
proposed vegetation corridors (blue polygons), national parks (green
polygons) and state forests (brown polygons). The veg corridors, NPs and SFs
do not intersect, however, the vegetation classification polygons intersect
across all other layers.

I need to determine how much area there is of each vegetation class in total
and how much area of each class is contained within each of a number of
distinct veg corridors (blue), and generally within NPs (green) and SFs
(brown). I also need to determine percentages of each veg class within NPs,
SFs and veg corridors compared to the entire area.

I am having trouble getting MapInfo to automatically generate these
statistics for me, any advice you could give would be fantastic.

Thanks for your help

Dan Bowles
