MI AD: Compass V2 Release
Dear Mappers Meridian GIS is pleased to announce that Version 2 of our Data Management product, COMPASS, has now been released. Version 2 represents a significant improvement over Version 1, including spatial searching and unlimited categories. Developed to manage the increasingly large amounts of MapInfo data, Compass will catalogue and maintain Tables, Saved Queries, Workspaces, Images and Oracle 8i connections. The catalogues can be searched either hierarchically or spatially and the results presented to the user in a logical, intuitive interface with corresponding metadata. A more detailed description of Compass can be found on our homepage together with the complete html help. I would invite those who are interested, to download a demo copy from our home page. http://www.meridian-gis.com Yours sincerely, Rob Healy Meridian GIS PO Box 295 Level 2, 1050 Hay Street West Perth 6872 Western Australia Phone : +61 (08) 9226-0101 Fax : +61 (08) 9226-0102 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.meridian-gis.com -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MI MapExtreme - cannot export Gif format.
Mazuaz, If I recall correctly, you must explicitly state that you want to convert maps to GIFS during the MapExtreme setup. This is because the GIF format is copyright protected and you are required to pay your dues. If you ommit this the GIF format is not available.

Re: MI automatically locating a caller on cellular networks
Yes for both questions.. somewhat I do not believe accuracy to 25 meters can be claimed, even though someone trying to sell you something will tell you anything you want to hear. There are 3 and perhaps 4 ways of identifying location, the problem is that equipment needs to be located at the cellsite for the carrier. Equipment vendors use such techniques as the timing difference between when each cellsite sees the signal, timing difference between antennas located at the same cellsite, the strength of the signal transmitted by the phone, timing infomation located in the bit stream in some wireless technologies like TDMA (time division multiple access) and CDMA, and I've heard something on the timing in CDMA (code division multiple access) and using the reference gps from the cellsite, all cellsites in CDMA systems use gps timing to time all users on the cellsite (Sprint, Primeco...). Cellular carriers also can pinpoint a phone to a single antenna beam on a single cellsite from reports in the network switching office. Research the subject 'time of arrival' and see what you come up with. Wireless phones at the end of the year will have gps installed in them by some of the manufacturers, if they hit the market, Big Brother is watching, will again have a new twist. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Text from Word to MI 5.5
a sub-hack, if you have a postscript printer, would be to print an eps file of your map and put that into word. depending on your text, you might be able to break it up into paragraphs and place them into your layout one paragraph at a time. if you save just that layout as a workspace, then you can add the workspace and copy and past the text to any other layout. good luck bob There are a couple of options (hacks for you programmers): 1) Use Word as your layout program - import the map into Word and do your layout around it. I usually dump it to an image using File | Save Window As but it is also possible to copy the map window and paste it as an OLE object. To get a higher resolution of the image you export, specify an image width of about 3 times the final size when using the File | Save Window As command. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To get a higher resolution of the image you export, specify an image width of about 3 times the final size when using the File | Save Window As command. 2) Do the same thing - but in PowerPoint. PowerPoint actually makes a pretty good layout program and it handles images better than Word. It also has a number of easier-to-use graphics tools that make the layout process work better. I have had great luck using PowerPoint as the poor man's desktop publisher - it's easy to use, the output can be scaled and it is actually pretty powerful. You not only get a document that prints well, but also the basis for a powerful slide presentation. 3) The third option (and this can work very well) is to get your text out to an image file. This is not always easy to do, but it is possible. The image file can then be placed in a Mapinfo layout window. Whatever choice you make, you will probably find that you need to edit the image a bit. I would suggest a wonderful shareware image editor - PaintShop Pro. Go to http://www.jasc.com to download a 30 day trial - which is usually enough for a quick project. I would strongly suggest registering the product if you like it - it is a very powerful image editor with a reasonable price (under $250 US I think). Good luck!

MI - Solution to remove an ADDED column
Hi, For those who are interested, here's the solution to my problem. Anton de Gruchy pointed out that WindowId() is a dynamic identifier not static. Phew, thanks for that. My solution was to use the Timer() function to get a unique column name, and then ADD COLUMN. I have put the unique column name into the window title so that I can retrieve it later relate it back to the relevant column for the purpose of export. Using this technique, there is no need to remove the added column, but of course, a need to be mindful of deteriating performance after many iterations of the program. Thanks all Ian Hi The ADD COLUMN statement allows a new "temporary" column to be created for an open table. In an application I'm writing, I want to give a column the name of the map window identifier, so that each map window can have a unique thematic map. The thematic mapping bit works, but only the first time through. I cant seem to find a way to make an ADD COLUMN created column either "updateable" or "deletable", other than closing and reopening the table (I dont want to do this). Can anyone help?

RE: Text from Word to MI 5.5
Additional Text: For those that don't know you can actually get the layout to contain a block of text that is longer than you can manually enter in the text box. This is achieved by editing the workspace file directly. I haven't sat down to count but I think the test box lets you enter around 300 characters by editing the workspace file you can extend it to around 410 characters. Useful if you just about fit everything in and don't want to mess around aligning another text box. Another strange but true fact. regards Martin -Original Message- From: Vincent Decker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 24 March 2000 10:49 To: James Marlow; 'Jeff Reid'; Mapinfo-L (E-mail) Subject: Re: Text from Word to MI 5.5 Just like James, the powerpoint option is the one i have been using for a while now, and i am very satisfied with the results.

I usually dump it to an image using File | Save Window As but it is also possible to copy the map window and paste it as an OLE object. To get a higher resolution of the image you export, specify an image width of about 3 times the final size when using the File | Save Window As command. 2) Do the same thing - but in PowerPoint. PowerPoint actually makes a pretty good layout program and it handles images better than Word. It also has a number of easier-to-use graphics tools that make the layout process work better. I have had great luck using PowerPoint as the poor man's desktop publisher - it's easy to use, the output can be scaled and it is actually pretty powerful. You not only get a document that prints well, but also the basis for a powerful slide presentation. 3) The third option (and this can work very well) is to get your text out to an image file. This is not always easy to do, but it is possible. The image file can then be placed in a Mapinfo layout window. Whatever choice you make, you will probably find that you need to edit the image a bit. I would suggest a wonderful shareware image editor - PaintShop Pro. Go to http://www.jasc.com to download a 30 day trial - which is usually enough for a quick project. I would strongly suggest registering the product if you like it - it is a very powerful image editor with a reasonable price (under $250 US I think). Good luck!
