Peter, Cairns City Council uses 2 TCS400 OCE A0 colour plotters. We constantly send large format prints mixed vector/raster image with excellent results. Particularly good with IKONOS image ecw, as well as AutoCAD plots. Numerous TC Larry satellite image plots really tested it out. No major issues after 12mths hammering just replacement ink & printhead for Cyan, which we use more than most with a large ocean area on our eastern boundary. HTH.

I have had some experience with a couple of brands but am keen to get some additional input. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice as to what works well?

The problem is that MapInfo does not seem to handle the composite data too well (e.g. red,green, and blue bands). The colors bands associated in an IKONOS imagery are compound and therefore when MapInfo attempts to open the image, it gets confused with the multispectral data. The solution: Open the IKONOS imagery (assuming that its a *.tif) in any image editor (I used Irfanview, available as a free tool). Once it is opened in the image editor, save it with another name. The editor will strip out the multispectral data inherit in IKONOS images and for all purposes "flattens" the image. Once this is done, don't forget to copy and rename the world file (*.tfw, *.tga, *iga) to match the renamed file. This should fix the issue. Open the new file and reassign its projection. -Vitad > Try Mapimagery for Mapinfo - Free download at http://www.gid.com/. > > Allows you the choice of stretched or unstretched data on import.

To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 After checking the archives I found only one message that described a mix of truetype symbols for geology and oil & gas for MapInfo. But it was pretty old and all the referenced links from it are 404. So I'm looking for MapInfocompatable symbols that match the symbols supported in a software package known as Petra. The Oil & Gas symbols that come with MapInfo aren't enough. Does anyone have any suggestions or public resources? Even commercial is okay as long as the set has what I need.

Crystal Report (report software sold with mapinfo) does that...all the time.

I did a small test on XP Pro with all service packs. This is the order: mbx folder mapinfow.exe folder windows/system32 windows/system windows PATH environment I think this is how it's always been. There is also the "current dir", but I was too lazy to test that one.

The problem is that MapInfo can't find the layer in the map, so you need to add the layer to the map before zooming to the extent of this layer/selection. Something like this: '**selecting all objects into a named temp table Select * From ObjectsToMap Where OBJ Into TO__PRINT NoSelect Fetch first From TO__PRINT Do Until EOT(TO__PRINT) nRow = TO__PRINT.OBJ 'remember to Dim this integer variable '*Selecting the current record into a temp table Select * From TO__PRINT Where ROWID = nRow Into CUR__OBJECT Noselect Fetch First From CUR__OBJECT Set Map Center (CentroidX(CUR__OBJECT.obj), CentroidY(CUR__OBJECT.obj)) 'center map on selected object '**Adding the layer to be able to zoom to its extent Add Map Layer CUR__OBJECT Set Map Zoom Entire Layer CUR__OBJECT '**Removing the layer from the map again Remove Map Layer CUR__OBJECT Run Menu Command 112 'Print Command Fetch Next from TO__PRINT Loop HTH, Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.
