MI MBR or not

2000-08-02 Thread Leduc, Yannick
Hello to you, I was answering the request of Sebastian Hudson about polygons attribute when I found out something I can't explain to myself. What is the difference between querying the MinX of an object and querying the MinX of the MBR's object. To me, it was the same thing, but I obtain

Hi Johnathan! I have an answer to your query. First, make a copy of your table of points. It will become your circle table. Open it. In the MapBasic Window: Set Distance Units "mi" Update set obj = CreateCircle(CentroidX(obj), CentroidY(obj), 100) Save the circ

Hi Fran, sometimes, I've seen this very same message when attempting to print to AdobePDF. I find out that the name of the layout window was not compliant with file name syntax. What I mean is that a layout window named "Layout:2" will cause an error because of the ":". Since the ":" is n

To display parallel lines, I created line styles in MapInfo Line Editor. I just put 1,2,3...,10 pixels off the center line and I can display multiple dataset on the same line/pline. But, I'm limited to 128 line styles within a *.PEN file, so I have to sacrifice existing line Style or swap *.PEN fi

MI Label: Comma vs dot in decimal

1999-09-28 Thread Leduc, Yannick
Hi! I noticed some strange behavior from MI when I display decimal value in labels. My regional settings are set to display a comma as decimal separator. So, in the browser, in MI, a distance value looks like 0,5. If I label objects with decimal numeric value, the label will show as 0,5 o

MI Strange workspace behavior

2000-04-04 Thread Leduc, Yannick
Hi L-ster, On occasion, when saving a workspace with a few queries, MI behave strangely. Most of my queries are saved right, but sometimes, I end up with a mutant. Here's an example of a query found in one of my workspace: Select þF_P_T from where into  noselect order by Natur

RE: MI Thanks for the QueryN suggestions

2000-04-06 Thread Leduc, Yannick
Hi Mick, If the query is based on a SQL statement, the query can be saved in the workspace. On the other hand, if the query is based on the user's selection of elements, there is no way for the workspace to keep track of the selection. So it can't be saved even if you give it a name. If

Hi L-sters! you will say I am splitting hair, but I came across a strange feature in MI. Because I need only linear object in a table for thematic purpose, I convert point objects to zero length line objects using : Update set obj = CreateLine(CentroidX(obj), CentroidY(obj), CentroidX(

Hi, I speak French, and I say, i'm impress with the automatic translation! Margie, you're right, "Vois" is a typo, it should be "Vous". "endroi" too is a typo, it's should be "endroit". so, "Vous devez choisir la ligne avant de pointer l'endroit ou separer!" translate "You must choose th
