Viktor,
I did
something similar a while back that I think is what you want to do. I
wanted to have a large area, 1:250,000 but, at a larger scale 1:24,000. So
I went through the region and tiled the map systematically from upper left to
bottom right. To do this I needed the map to be sized exactly so I didn't
get any overlap between tiles. Something similar
to...
1. Set
your aspect ratio for your window to match the aspect ratio of the size you want
to display...SetWindowSizePixels()
2. Use
SetMapScope() to set the extent of the window
Hope
this is what you meant. Good luck!

Subject: Re: [Maptitude] scaling the map window
I can't seem to find the specific command that would allow me to specify the map window width and height in earth units (miles, feet, km, etc...). I'm looking to improve on Maptitude's built in feature [Map Scale] - [ Adjust Map Width and Height] that would automatically resize the map window to specific earth units in BOTH plans (east-west AND north-south distances), not just one or the other.
For example, I want to create a map view that encompasses exactly an area of 10miles x 10miles, without having to manually adjust the map window. I've been looking at some of the 'Set' commands but none seem to apply. Anyone successfully attempted this already?
