All
I am fairly new to MapBasic but have experience of programming in other
languages. I have hit a problem while trying to write a mapbasic tool.
Firstly, the user opens a map window with a table that the user
specifies in a FileOpenDlg.
Once this table has been opened and is displayed in a mapper window, I
try to extract the min_x, min_y, max_x and max_y coordinates using the
MapperInfo() function.
The values that are returned from these functions are not the same as
the coordinates of the window.
For example, I have added a section of code to the tool so the user can
input an x and y coordinates (british national grid) to create a point
(uses the CreatePoint() function). However the point created is not at
the coordinates entered i.e. if coordinates entered are x = 457980, y =
263570 the created point comes out as x = 400,000 , y = 4,470,000
Any help would be much appreciated.
