Re: MI Center X Y in meters
save your table using "save as copy...", the dialog will prompt for a new name for the copy and the "projection"button will allow you to assign any metric projection like UTM instead of Lat/long.

MI GeoTIFFs
Hi everyone I am having a problem creating GeoTiff files.to do this i am using the geotifcp executable which can be got from libgeotif ultimately i am trying to get the geotiffs into MapInfo My metadata file looks lie this: Geotiff_Information: Version: 1 Key_Revision: 1.0 Tagged_Information: ModelTiepointTag (6,3): 6660 684 0 387643.29 290477.65 0 4340 11520 0 387402.29 289265.29 0 20041 13262 0 389146.75 289090.45 0 End_Of_Tags.

End_Of_Geotiff. however once the geotif is created the MapInfo (5.5) Georeg utility complains that my control points all lie on the same line i have succesfully registered read a geotif in mapinfo which used one control point and x and y pixel scales but i would prefer to use three control points if possible. has anyone had any experience of Geotiffs? Or can anyone at MapInfo confirm that MI cannot read geotiffs which have used three control points in this way..i have a read a few articles on the internet (http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff) by people who have been using other software which can read geotifs but do not support this 3 control point technique... any help would be really appreciated and i will summarise the problem when i have solved it.

MI Extracting Intersection Point Computation of Distances
Dear Experts, As I am pretty new with Mapinfo, I would be grateful if you can share your views on this matter. Problem: I have a layer with close polygons (e.g. Layer A) and another layer of just straight lines (e.g. Layer B). If we overlay the two layers, these polylines will pass through the polygons or rather cuts through the boundary of the polygon in two locations. Question: Is there any way which I can "request" mapinfo to extract all the cross-over/intersection points (doesn't matter if it is lat/lons or grids) and also measure the distance from the start of the line to the intersections points? Any advice or suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

MI RE: Data reduction
Althought the Nyquist theorem isn't implemented (I'll have to think of this one, a bit tricky since one would have to implement a low pass filter after going thru a Fourier series on polylines segments groups, then back to regenerate spatial information ... hummm, not really a work for dear old Mapbasic ...), you may try Topocheck from the MI List FTP site (look at top downloads ( ... ;) forgive me, it's s good for my little ego...)), that'll enable you to filter by a combination on two parameters : minimum distance between points, and maximum / minimum angle between segments. One drawback ... it's french, but straight forward (well better back up your table first). BTW, I'll put an english version on my site, and the list as soon as I'll find someone with a Mapbasic compiler to recompile the english version (I'm afraid I gave up MapInfo devs a few years ago, too tired by local MI reseller - kindof having the 'new version' of MI 6 to 10 month too late (when there was already a new version in the US ...), and very, very, very bad partners support (I mean even worse than none !). But that's another rant.) I think other tools on the listFTP site will allow you to use a corridor based simplification.

The line data are extremely finely sampled and hence reproduce beautifully all curved portions of lines at that scale. However, the ultimate scale at which my maps will be produced is 1:200,000 or 1:400,000, a linear reduction of 1 in 4 or even 1 in 8 and the precision of the original data is therefore way too high for the end product. Question is: Is anyone aware of a routine through which one can pass the data files, and which will reduce the data density in such a way that at the smaller scale the exactness is still maintained. There is a mathematical rule which says that the spatial sampling frequency is dictated by the 'curviness' of the sampled line in order to restore the original curve without aliasing.

Normally, MapInfo-L produces about 30 messages a day or so, so when you aren't getting mail with "MI" in the subject line, something's not working. During the last virus scare, many servers were refusing mail, and since I couldn't tell if the bounced mail from these was just temporary or permanent, several people were unsubscribed. When servers stop relaying MapInfo-L mail they just bounce mail back to my mailbox and fill it up, so I if your server stops handling mail for a couple of days, you're automatcally taken off MapInfo-L (I can't tell if your server is broken or if you have abandoned your mailbox.) Anyway, you stop getting mail, so if this is not what you want, just resubscribe. All the information about MapInfo-L is available at http://www.directionsmag.com/mapinfo-l.

MI MapBook Application
Hi, I'm writing a Mapbook application in MapBasic that prints out the roads in the Township on 8.5 X 11 mapsheets. Part of the information I want to print on the four sides of each page is the map # of the adjoining page, as well as the current date. There must be a way to put that information into a variable and then printing out the variable, but I haven't found it yet. I am trying to use the Create Text Statement. What is the best way to approach this? thanks, Bob Regier -- 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 Workspace Prob...
Andre that error message brings back (not so) fond memories - have you changed any of the table structures? if you have that could be the problem, the "36" in the error message is the line number in the workspace file, have a look at it in a text editor and see what the variable name is, does it correspond to a field name in the table? if not there's your problem, you can edit the workspace (insert the valid field name) in the text editor and all should be well, I once had to do something similar for lots of workspaces I know very little about Lovebug etc. but I had the same problem a year or so or go so I suspect it's not related. hope this helps cheers Mick - Original Message - From: Lederer, Andre [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2000 4:09 PM Subject: MI Workspace Prob... Ever since the "I Love You" virus hit us, some of our workspaces are not opening. We are getting messages like... Workspacename.wor.36) Variable or field ID not defined. Could this be related to the virus somehow? Or could it be that in restoring our systems something was changed? Any Thoughts???
