Hello Hendrik,

I have created a small application doing this (Christine's arrow40 tool
doesn't come with source code):

include "mapbasic.def"

declare function UpdateWidth(byval Mobj as object, byval Mwidth as float) as
object

function UpdateWidth(byval Mobj as object, byval Mwidth as float) as object
dim NewPen as Pen
NewPen = ObjectInfo(Mobj, OBJ_INFO_PEN)
NewPen =
makepen(Mwidth*10+10,styleattr(NewPen,PEN_PATTERN),styleattr(NewPen,PEN_COLOR))
Alter Object Mobj Info OBJ_INFO_PEN, NewPen
UpdateWidth=Mobj
end function

' width is a field in the table with a value from 0.1 to 203.7 points
update mytable set obj=UpdateWidth(obj,width)

Thanks to Peter Horsbøll Møller for reminding me to include "byval" in the function declaration.

Kind regards

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.
