Good day. I’ve been working on a custom info tool for
mapxtreme 6.2. The tool has to select a rectangular area and show the info of
all the dots inside the given area. After spending some time trying to do this, I came to
a stand still. I have the output coordinates of the area, and I know mapinfo
has an sql function which allows me to define a geographical area. So far, my
sql query looks like this: ‘SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE x AND y WITHIN
AREA(obj, “sq ml”)’ The problem is that the area function requires a
geometry object, and the output of the selection tool looks like this: {X1=10,12345678,Y1=-68,12345678,X2=12,12345678,Y2=-70,12345678} And I’m having problem converting the set of
coordinates into a geometry object. Do you know of any function or property I could use
to convert, or otherwise use the coordinate output to execute the sql query on
the .tab file? Thanks in advance.
