MI Questions for a military tender..

2000-07-29 Thread Alim Kucukpehlivan

Hi There,

It had been a long time... I hope all is well..

this is the first of a series of questions:

1. There is a tender for Military, I am looking for Nato Symbol
libraries... (all  kinds TTF or CAD based, or GIF)... Any hints
wellcome...

2. Does anybody know that Oracle 8i Spatial can store Raster maps? or
how we can load raster maps on Oracle and serve them to MapInfo clients,
along with other vector files.

Best Regards,
Thanks in advance,

MI Questions about MapBasic

2000-06-16 Thread Angelina Ho

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm a research student from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.  I've
encountered a problem in MapBasic about the font.  Would there be anyone
who can solve it for me?

Right now I'm using MapInfo 5.0  MapBasic 5.0 to search some text (e.g.
street name) from the map and change the font size  color.  I used the
command "Makefont(0,20,red,-1)" to replace the original text.  It changed
the style, font color and background color for me but it couldn't change
the font size.  Since the color  style were changed, it showed that this
line of command was executed successfully.  But why it couldn't change the
font size?  No matter what size I set in the program source code, the font
size still kept the same as it was in the map.  Would there be any
constrains in the program or in the map or even in the workspace?


Best regards,
Angelina HO

Re: MI Questions about MapBasic (altering font size of text objects)

2000-06-16 Thread Andrew_Dressel

Right now I'm using MapInfo 5.0  MapBasic 5.0 to search some text (e.g.
street name) from the map and change the font size  color.  I used the
command "Makefont(0,20,red,-1)" to replace the original text.  It changed

The problem is that once a text object is placed in a table (on a map),
its size is no longer controled by font size, but instead by the minimum
bounding rectangle (MBR).

To modify its size, you need to modify its minumum or maximum coordinates.
For example, to reduce the size of object o in half use these two
statements:
Alter Object o Geography 4, (ObjectGeography(o, 2)+ObjectGeography(o, 4))/2
Alter Object o Geography 3, (ObjectGeography(o, 1)+ObjectGeography(o, 3))/2

  File: ATT0.html  Hi all,
Student links list is coming along slowly, thanks again for all your links 
(still want more), hope to be up and running soon.

I have a couple of questions to ask of you all

1) In a recent conversation I was asked if I was going to incorporate a basic 
"What is GIS section". I am aware of  the many sites out there that give 
numerous definitions. What I would be interested in is the definitions that you 
the users would give, be they deeply serious or deeply silly and frivolous (for 
time of stress I have already Goddam Imbecilic Software). You never know you 
might end up being quoted on many a College Students first GIS paper.

2)We are looking to purchase Mapinfo compatible Landscape Visualisation 
Software, I have had a look at Woollysofts GenesisII package and it seems to 
fit the bill. Would be interested in hearing from anybody who has used it in a 
commercial capacity and also if anyone has recommendations for other packages.

Many Thanks

Mark
