MI histograms
Hello all, I'm trying to create a cumulative histogram within MapInfo similar to that of Microsoft's Excel. I can replicate the scatter plots almost exactly like Excel can output. I'd really like a MapBasic solution to this. Thanks, Dion Duran GIS Systems Analyst Metricom, Inc.

MI RE: Interactive Web-mapping
Natalie, From your first message, I would have replied with the answer MI 6.0 too. MapInfo 6.0 has an Image map creator tool that can take a layer like your company locations and export them as an image map in an HTML file. You have to choose a field it can use as a link to a web page to assign the locations on the image map. This would be your companies' web page. It will also export the image as a png or a jpeg. I've been using it in beta to output a clickable service grid map where the link is a zoomed in map of the area. I've found a limitation on the length of the html file name assosicated with the link. It can only be 8 characters long. You may also want to look into MapXsite. It is a location-finding tool specifically design to do what you want. Big companies like Blockbuster and Walmart have used it to upload their locations. MapInfo serves the data for you, all you need to do is give them a file with the data. Check the MI web site. I haven't look into it in a while. Also everything you stated was correct about Mapinfo on the web unless you have an old copy of MapInfo Proserver which did call Mapinfo using OLEISAPI from a web page. I've tried'em all. If you need maps with ever-changing data and live maps, you need Mapxtreme, else you can create a Mapbasic batch output program to update your web page like I do now for data that only changes every-so-often.

RE: MI Accessing DLL
Kenn, It took me a while to get this working when I did it 2 years ago, so I hope what I tell you is correct. I just opened my C++ project and here's what I have. First, If I remember right you need to create a Windows 32 dll - empty project. Then create a resource script file. Insert your Bitmaps by right clicking on the resource folder, then insert, then select bitmap and click import. Make sure to copy the bitmaps into the project folder before you do an insert. Or you can create your own bitmaps by drawing them with C++ by selecting New instead. The bitmaps have to be 16 color and either 18 width by 16 height and 26 width by 24 height. See page 246 of the MapBasic User's guide for reasons why you have to have two and other specs. Also, make sure their resource id value is sequential. Start the smaller bmp as 100, then the larger as 101 then the next icon set as 102 and 103. If you need to change the values append a '=integer' to the name like DRAW_LINE=100. Then go under Project-settings. LINK . In the Project Options box at the bottom of the window type /NOENTRY at the end of the list. Make sure there is a space between the last option. Then rebuild all and you should have your DLL. Now for the Mapbasic code, I think your error is in the Icon value. If you didn't create 2 Icons, this is where it'll fail, or if you picked a value not in the file. The Icon value in MB source has to be the smaller value. You could put the DLL anywhere, but Mapinfo will find it if it's in the Mapinfo program directory without adding a path to the statement. I like to leave the dll with the mbx if its only for that app, but I have about 30 icons in my dll for several apps, so I have to tell my employees using it to move it to their MI directory. Here is an example call " ICON 102 file applicationdirectory$() + "testicons.dll" If it doesn't work. Let me know and I'll send you a sample to help.

I am using Visual C++. What parameters or procedures are required to compile a dll that MapBasic can access. My error message is unable to load external Icon resource. There is something I must be overlooking. Thanks for everything gang!

RE: MI Converting .grc files
Hi all, If you read the question again, you will understand what he is asking! I believe there is a tool built into Vertical Mapper that will convert( or contour) a .grc to a polygon-based Tab file, not a grid file. The mbx you refer to will only allow for viewing the grid, not query or manipulate the underlaying data from the raster.

SUM: MI Digital topos
