Re: exporting contour vector to .MIF
Hi Alberto, maybe just a hint : If your table is stacked with records, try to find out in what geo-reference the table is (projection and geographic expents): maybe your vectors exist but outside the map window or whatever table you use as reference. We had similar experiences here with another desktop GIS where it appeared that our vectors of the southern hemisphere were mapping somewhere in the northern hemisphere. During export, some mix-up happened netxween North / South and East / West. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been creating vector segments of elevation contours from a DEM using EASI, but am having trouble bringing these into Mapinfo. EASI exports the vectors fine; I've tried both direct to .MIF and also to E00, then .TAB via ArcLink. The problem lies on the Mapinfo side. After processing for a few minutes, a .TAB is created,but nothing appears in the map window. However, looking at the file in a browser shows that it is populated with records. Any suggestions are appreciated, and I'll collect and post any hints that come my way.

MI Re: Invoking MapInfo Pro from VB application
Paul,
try to use the Automation.
If MapInfo is properly installed this will work:
dim mapinfo as object
set mapinfo = CreateObject("Mapinfo.Application")
mapinfo.Visible = True
Look at the MapInfo documentation for integrated mapping for more.
Or ask the registry for the install-path for mapinfo.
Regards
Markus

RE: MI Thematic mapping by name and numerical value
I did not find a straight answer such as the double thematic on regions combining patterns and colors. I found two work-arounds each one with its own draw back. 1 - a/ make a "color" thematic with "name" using a circle as a symbol. b/ make a "size" thematic with "canopy" using a tramsparent circle as symbol. note: make sure that the size corresponding to the smallest canopy is not smaller than the colored symbol. 2 - a/ convert points to circles of sizes proportionate to canopy radius. In the MapBasic Window write and run set coordsys table your_table set distance units "unit_used_in_canopy" update your_table set obj=createcircle(centroidx(obj),centroidy(obj),size) b/ make a color thematic of these objects. note: you may find safer to work on a copy of your original table. I would love to hear there is a "better" way for doing it.

Currently the data is in the form of circles representing trees. All of these are uniform in radius. These have a name and canopy radius fields. When I attempt to colour by species (individual thematic) and size by radius(using graduated thematic) I only get the size changing but the colours don't. They do but I can't merge the two variables. Any ideas? Can I resize the existing circles by the canopy field permanently? And then colour them in a later process.

One way to accomplish this is with the MapBasic Window. First, explicitly set the coordinate system to what you want. For example: Set CoordSys Earth Projection 13, 62, "m", 0 Then update the column with coordinates from that system: Update Test_Table Set x_column = CentroidX(obj) Update Test_Table Set y_column = CentroidY(obj) You can easily get the coordsys clause to use by opening the MapBasic window and setting the map window to the coordsys that you want. -- 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 Grid file
Does anyone have experience of using either large grid files or tiled grid files to represent, for example, elevation data? We have some. We're trying to determine the best way to distribute DEM data for use by MapInfo Professional (without add-in's). Options we've considered are: (1) points (2) square cells as regions and (3) .mig files. Given around 10 million readings, option 1 would be bulky and option 2 even more so! Specific questions on .mig files- (1) what is the size limit? (2) is the limit related to the IDW algorithm? (3) are there alternative algorithms? (4) has anyone written a .mig loader, say from a point file? 1. Based on the definition of these functions from the API, the size limit appears to be about 2,147,483,648 x 2,147,483,648, but I'm sure practical limitations become apparent long before that. BOOL GRIDENGFUNCTION GE_GetContinuousValue(GE_HGRID hGrid, long lCol, long lRow, double *pdValue, unsigned char *puchIsNull); BOOL GRIDENGFUNCTION GE_GetDimensions(GE_HGRID hGrid, long *plWidth, long *plHeight); BOOL GRIDENGFUNCTION GE_WriteContinuousValue(GE_HGRID hGrid, long lCol, long lRow, double dValue); 2. No, the IDW algorithm is just one way to create a grid file. 3. I know that ESTI-Map in Moscow has written a TIN-based interpolator, and Mercator Geosystems has others. 4. MapInfo Professional 5.5 (and now 6.0) includes a DEM2GRID utility. The complete API for the Grid Engine is available upon request. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MI Sum Graph Wizard - table drop-down list
Thanks to Jason Adam for his explanation and help in making a table appear on the table drop-down list in step 2 of the Create Graph Wizard. For a table to appear on this list, it must have at least one numeric column. The table I wanted to graph did not appear on the graph wizard's table drop-down list because it had only columns with character types and not the 'graphable' numeric types (integer, float, or decimal). To verify the type, refer to TableMaintenanceTable Structure and view the character types for the column (s) to be graphed. Since I had been using an Excel file, I had to Save Copy as... to a new MI table and change the column types to integer (or decimal). Then the table appeared on the table drop-down list where the data in the column could be used to create a graph. Thanks again, Jason.

MI MB: Turning of zoom/resize/pan etc of map window
Hi, Is there any way you can disable the pan/zoom functions for a particular map window? I'd also like to prevent the user from resizing the map window. (I'm setting up title boxes etc and want them to be standard) I've found you can turn AutoScrolling etc off using the Set Map function, but I was thinking more along the lines of disabling the zoom/hand toolbar buttons when a designated map window was active.
