Hi list, 
        
I have bunches of points that need to be grouped together by an common 
attribute and then each group converted into seperate region.  Does anybody 
know of a way to convert the "foot print" or a set of points make into a 
polygon / region.  I have tried to query for one type and then buffer the 
objects (with the create "single object" option) but this creates a too course 
an object with excessive overlap because a circle shape is used. 
                  
EG for 1 particular group of points 'x'  the output should be

From    x   x   x                                   /----x-- x- x\              
                
                x                                  /           x\_____  
         xx              xxxxxxx        Should become   |xx                 
xxxxxxx|
            x  xxx  x   xxx                                \x  xxx   x      
xxx-----/   
           x    x  x x                              \-x-------x-x-x----/


I am happy to write something in Mapbasic if I could figure out the algorithm 
(but a ready made tool would be better)

Hope this makes sense  - any and all help is appreciated.
