Re: MI Hardware

Gabor We have found that a good graphics card is essential if you are using a number of layers (and particularly large polygons, such as relief layering). If you are also using a large monitor (We use a 19") then at least 8Mb of video RAM is best. Insufficient video RAM results in slow and

RE: MI Flood data - BFE's

Dan, I am curious, where are you getting your BFE data in the first place? Q3 does not have any BFE information (at least not CA, FL, TX or WA). It is only on the FIRMs. Don't hold your breath on getting a document on BFE changes, the national flood cert companies do not even have a reliable

MI Changing a region object's centroid coordinates

Thanks to those who responded to my post on Feb. 4. I'm wondering why the responses came to me via e-mail, rather than being posted to the group, so others might find help also with this type of problem. But I appreciate the help, regardless of how it comes to me. Apparently I didn't explain

MI: clumsy halos vs delicate lines

Hi all Long, long time ago, before mapInfo introduced the halo function for round mapinfo symbols, I routinely overlay a layer of empty white dots (ie white version of: ... ), overtop solid black dots of the same size (ie: ... ) to get a halo effect around the black dots, when making

RE: MI Changing a region object's centroid coordinates

Hi Charlie, I recall a discussion some (many) months back about this. I tried what you suggested re altering the centroids using the region object dialog box but this also changes the MBR and appears to impact on the shape of the region. My guess is that you will not be able to do what you

Re: MI Can MapBasic call routines in ActiveX DLLs?

I've been asking around about this; I would like to be able to share some VB code (access to Win32API, common functions, etc.) with MapBasic. Currently, I cut and paste the code, then make the necessary syntax modifications... Not too much of an ordeal, but could it be better? The answer so

RE: MI Can MapBasic call routines in ActiveX DLLs?

All, I would like to make one correction to the generally correct response from Chris. VB created ActiveX DLLs (and ActiveX EXEs) can be used by any other language which supports the COM interface (C++, Powerbuilder, Delphi, VBA, ASP). MapBasic does not support the COM interface. - Brad

RE: MI Can MapBasic call routines in ActiveX DLLs?

Listers, I agree with much of Chris's analysis except I would say that the emphasis is wrong. In my opinion the problem is not that applications built with VB5/6 expose their functionality to other applications as COM objects, but rather the fact that MapBasic is not COM compliant. The

Mappers, If anyone has hints about the opposite opperation, getting from Arc Grid files to MI/Vertical Mapper I'd like to hear about it. I've tried converting the ArcGrid to ASCII Grid but VM chokes. The good folks at Northwood Geo have been trying to figure out why but after months no success.
