Hello Hendrik,

I don't think you can do this as a thematic map, but you can do it in mapbasic, by setting the width of all lines in points instead of pixels. Pixels only allow the value 1-7, while points is a value from 0.1 to 203.7 in 0.1 steps. You just have to set up an expression based on your migration that results in a proper value for the widths.

You will probably have to loop through all objects to do this or define your own function and use that in the "update" command.

Regards
Uffe

Subject: MI-L Thematic Map with Arrows


Dear List,

I am looking for a way to create a specific type of thematic Map with Mapinfo. I do not know the correct name of this type of maps but want to describe what I mean. I have some polygons representing cities and now I want to show the migration movements between these cities. This should be done with arrows. The thickness of these arrows should vary according to the value of migration.

My Questions:

What is the name of this thematic map?
Is this possible with Mapinfo ? (7.8 is available)
Does anybody know a MBX which produces these maps?
If not, does anybody have an idea what should be done to write an Application for MI. (Mapbasic Available)


Thanks in Advance.
