Good morning Ethan
the quick and dirty method used to shift centroids in Gridmaker grids (from
one of the nodes to the centre) may work for you too...
once you have reshaped your polygon, convert it to polylines and then back
to a polygon - and hey presto centroid where you expect it
Give it a
Select * from TABLE where Str$(Obj) = "Polyline" into
SELECTION
Other objects can be selected by changing "Polyline"
to:
"Point"
"Line"
"Region"
"Text"and I haven't tested:
"Arc"
"Ellipse"
"Rectangle"
but they may also work
The alternative syntax is (with thanks to Jaques Paris'
wonderful
Shawn, I have copied the contents of a response by Peter Laulund to an
earlier query that looks to provide a formula that would resolve your
problem.
I dont know enough about your problem to know if it will do the trick for
you. Please read Peter's comment about the need to calculate the

If I may add to the idea, let me suggest that you save that mapper
window and the text within as a workspace of its own, so that you

That way you only have to go through the time consuming bit once and any

MI is probably re-running it.
I use a fair bit of thematic mapping and those workspaces can
take ages to load as MI re-creates each thematic from scratch

I save the layout window as a bitmap (in my case I am saving as a TIF) file

One process to achieve that would be to:
If the polygons are not regions, make them so
Create the line "centroidX(obj),CentroidY(obj)"
Set the line as the target and erase the portion inside the two regions
Measure the length of the resulting line
Slow if you had more than one or
Yes, it is up to a point - the file format is the same but it does take some

Re Gridmakr centroids
Another route I use to to get Gridmakr centroids where I expect them is to:
create the grid
select and convert the grid regions to polylines
convert them back to regions
voila!

I had similar issues with conversions until I learnt enough about
co-ordinate systems to understand why I needed to specify co-ordinate
systems for layers before I started entering data.
I suspect you will find that if you were using the generic Longitude -
