Would you kindly let me know what seems to be the problem?

Hello! I'm from Canada and Nunavut was supposed to be NU but then someone at Canada Post taught some french canadian would have been greatly offended by NU which could mean Nude (nue) in french. So Nunavut was NT, some Inuit were not happy about that position so when the story came out, every french canadian was laughting about the NU thing. So Nunavut will become NU once and for all and every one will live happy ever after. Canadian politicsisn't it great!

RE: MI HELP!
I endorse the "left handed mouse" approach. I'm right handed. Two years ago I was suffering from RSI in my right arm, then I broke my arm badly. I was forced to switch my mouse to my left hand, and have never switched back. I no longer suffer RSI in my right arm. One additional point: I kept the buttons the same as they were for right-handed use. Three reasons: 1. "Right-click" and "left-click" still make sense; 2. Other people can still pick up my mouse and use it; 3. I personally find that using my middle finger on the left button is easier than using my index finger on the right button. === Oliver Moffatt GIS Support Officer Peak District National Park Authority Telephone: (01629) 816269 Fax: (01629) 816310 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.peakdistrict-npa.gov.uk === -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Using a trackball (an inverted mouse so to say) enables you to place your hand and forearm in the most comfortable way, you will not need to lift your forearm or wrist but need only to use your fingers for cursor movement and mouse clicks. Another device I came upon lately (but have not tested) is a 'mouse pen'. This is like a pen with a minute mouse ball at the tip. Is is held like a pen and connects to the computer by radio. Clicks are effected by tapping the pen or buttons on the pen and it can be used on any surface. The brand slips my mind but I belive you could look for 'mouse pen' on the net.

RE: MI HELP!
I did help someone cure her "mouse (=tennis) elbow" some time ago by simply showing her how to use the right mouse button; she was using a large size monitor and doing a lot of map editing via regular menus, hence constant long pointer moves. But as the "short cut" menus are somewhat limited, we decided on which items should be available (including some icons commands, such as "pointer/selector" that is so much in demand after using any tool) and I wrote a small mbx to modify the menus. I took this opportunity to even change the display language of these menus. The combination of both actions was a very good remedy. MapBasic does not have to be on your machine, you can write a simple script as a WOR and in the MapBasic window RUN APPLICATION ...WOR; you can have several, each one adapted to specific work requirements, including a standard one to return to the original menus.

Vicky, I am so glad that I did not miss your post. Yes, you are not the only one who has problems with using a mouse and nerve/hand problems. There are several of us out there and everyone I know who has this problem has just happened to put some serious time into MapInfo especially with continuous clicking and map production etc. I use the kensington Expert mouse and it has given me a lot of relief. I will NEVER go back to a standard mouse. Check it out at http://www.kensington.com/products/pro_mic_d1029.html It has a trackball and I can customize the four buttons for any event I choose; I never have to double click again but simply let my mouse envoke the double click event for me with a mouse click.

Title: RE: MI HELP! I like Jacques suggestion about creating an mbx that modifies the MI menus, but there is an easier way. Just edit the MAPINFOW.MNU file with a text editor. Those with only the most rudimentary understanding of MapBasic will not have a problem rearranging the commands. 80% to 90% of my commands are accessible with a right click including pan and zoom.

RE: MI HELP!
Hi! I've been using MapInfo for 4 years and I have developed same problems as you. My remedies are: 1 Like Jaques suggested I have a customised mbx so I can reach common commands from the keyboard. Today I have rewritten the MapInfo mnu-file instead. Helps a lot and it also makes you much faster. Dangerously fast however. 2 I use 2 mouses (mice?). One connected to the serial port and the other on the ps2. You can also use an Y-mouse from P I Engineering but both NT and Win98 supports 2 mice. The advantage is that I can make e g a zoom window by moving one mouse and clicking with the other (the Y-mouse doesn't support that however). 3 I use a "mousetrapper", a mouse tray made in Sweden. Difficult for me to describe it. It's a holder for an Intellimouse and you move the cursor with a rod. You always have the hands right in front of you when using it and it gives support for the wrists. You can see a picture at www.ergoff.se (click on Produkter and Pekdon. It's quit common here. 4 Go to www.tifaq.com It's a very good place to get information of all kind. For example I read something about moving the cursor with the eyes and click by blinking. 5 My experience is to avoid trackballs and touchpads. 6 Maybe most important of all in my experience. Work slightly slower.

RE: MI HELP!
Good call! I switched about 7 years ago to a left-handed mouse because the keyboard itself is not configured efficiently for GIS or other technical applications. Anything requiring numeric input means that a right-handed mouser needs to continually move the right hand back and forth from the mouse to the numeric keypad - a real pain in more ways than one. For those who maintain that they "just couldn't" mouse left-handed, you would be amazed how quickly you become proficient. It helps your work flow, and, since doing this full time since Win 3.0 was a gleam in Bill Gates' eye, I have never suffered from any wrist/arm disorders (I won't talk about any lingering mental disorders...).

Re: MI HELP!
My comment is way off base compared to others, but I've been a pretty active swimmer for a long, long time and I've never had a wrist or hand problem from also being a mouser for a long, long time. I don't know if swimming is a good cure for the problem, but it's my experience is that it's a good preventative. So, move some water with your wrist and arms and they'll grow stronger---just don't wreck your shoulder doing it!

My right wrist and hand have been bugging me for months, so I tried the switch this morning and it works great. It's amazing how quickly you can get used to mousing with your left hand, especially once you reprogram the mouse buttons. I'm not quite as accurate just yet, but I'm sure I will be in a day or two.

RE: MI Help!!! how to translate Arc/Info GRID image to be used in MapInfo
Hi folks - Having just been through this, I may have a solution, although a bit kludgey. I had ArcInfo/ArcView grid files which I needed to display in MI. My first thought was convert to shapefile in AV spatial analyst and import into MI but there were a few problems. First, the shapefile translation process generalizes the data a bit, but I could live with that. Second, the resulting shapefile does not seem to be topologically valid, even for ArcView. It will display in AV, but that's about it. I had little success with Universal Translator, Blue Marble's Geographic Explorer or the old shapelink to bring it into MI - MIF or TAB. AutoCAD 14 allowed it to translate successfully, but the resulting product was impossible to work with. What seemed to fail in the translation was that some of the polygons were too complex to be created. Another way out was to export the grid from AV into an ASCII file and then convert that to a point file in MI and regrid it in Vertical Mapper. For 2,000,000 points it wasn't worth it. Neither was writing a reformatter to turn the ASCII file into a USGS DEM file which could be imported by VM. The final method was to capture the image as a graphic and then register it in MI. AV gives a few options in this, but with some pitfalls. Thw WMF options were useable, but they weren't importable into MI. The BMP option seemed to be the optimal choice, but the colours came out mangled - on further checking, this seems to be a documented problem with AV. Working down the list, I tried PostScript output next (I didn't want to lose too much resolution in the process) but the output was monochrome. The next one I tried was CGM Binary (Computer Graphics Metafile). This worked well - it maintained the resolution and the colours were carried over exactly. The only twist is that I had to bring this into Corel 7 and export it as a TIFF. I registered it in MI as a raster image and it worked fine. My conclusion from all this was my belief that ESRI products were never designed to share their data easily - everyone and their dog writes export routines to save in their competitors' format, or publishes file formats - except ESRI.

Re: MI Help!! Why do I get a .MBO file?
Stephen, A very common reason for this is that you probably have written code that refers to a sub that is declared but not actually present. As an example, the following: Declare Sub MAIN Declare Sub DUH Sub MAIN Call DUH End Sub ---will compile as an MBO. DUH is declared, but not written. On the other hand--- Declare Sub MAIN Sub MAIN Call DUH End Sub ---will report errors when compiling. DUH is called, but not declared. But the following--- Declare Sub MAIN Declare Sub DUH Sub MAIN Call DUH End Sub Sub DUH End Sub will compile as a MBX, even though there's actually nothing in DUH. I hope all this helps. Good luck.

Hello Tim, What a familiar problem. We had a similar experience building an E sized geological map for Yemen. This was a couple of years back, but what we did was to create an EPS file as you have. We then imported the EPS into Corel Draw as an interpreted Postscript. This creates vectors within Corel. Once the map is in Corel you can modify the colors to CMYK in a number of different ways. Another option is to send the EPS file to a commercial printer with a high end RIP (raster image processor) Once the EPS is RIPed you can take the resulting raster into something like Photo Shop and Manipulate the colour model there. I've have several years experience dealing with this problem and I can't say that there is an easy solution, but we were able to work around the problem and get very nice results. Feel free to give me a call if you are really stuck.

We have completed a very detailed Open Space Map of the City of Boston and are trying to send it to a print shop for high-quality printing. The map is ANSI E size and we need to print 500 copies. After much trouble locating the proper postscript driver, we were able to create a valid EPS file. But, since MI works with RGB colors there is a need to convert the image to CYMK colors to produce the offset plates. I was told by someone at the print shop that merely using the "convert to CYMK" command in Illustrator will not work because the blacks will not fully convert to CYMK black. Nor will the "Overwrite black" command. He said the only solution is to manually select each black object and change its color to 100% black. There are over 15,000 black objects on the map and this is not a practical solution. After reviewing the MI-list archives, I downloaded MAPublisher, trial version, but that doesn't seem like it will help at this point. We really don't want to rebuild the map layout. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a reasonably affordable way to produce 500 ANSI E prints of high-quality? Also, we used Arial fonts in MI, which I don't think is a postscript font. Is this going to be a problem? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

RE: MI Help needed for Ecological problem
How about opening up multiple copies of your polygon table (you may have to rename them) and create separate thematic maps showing different "themes". You can then play with the order of the layers to show it in the clearest way.

RE: MI Help needed for Ecological problem
I would experiment with the update column command (Table Update column). Choose the table to update as being the polygon table, the table to get the data from as the site coverage; the join criteria as being where the object in the polygon table contains the object of the sites table (accessed by the join button), the column to update as "Add a temporary column" and the values as (Calculate) sum of the number of sitings of a species. Then just do a dot density thematic on the This processure does not change the data in your tables, but adds a temporary column that is reproduced if you save a workspace. Thus change the data in sites and the next time you open your workspace, it will show the changes automatically. You can also do this from thematic mapping by choosing Then just do a dot density thematic on the polygon table, choose the option join for the column in step 2, and choose the sites tables and sum the number of values etc. as above.

Have you considered presenting your data as histograms (numbers of each butterfly species) at the centroid of each polygon with the polygon theme (outlines only, no fill) as a background?

Re: MI Help creating an EPS file from MapInfo for offset printing
There is a freeware program called ghostscript that will do it. If you do a web search it should show up. Open the image and save as .eps. It's also good for creating jpgs from layouts. -- 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 Help creating an EPS file from MapInfo for offset printing
Gary, I'd like to use this opportunity to wish all on the list BEST WISHES FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON and a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR. Thanks to you all for such a great resource - special thanks to Bill and to those heavy and/or compulsive contributors. Now to your problem Gary, Our printer (i.e. the company that produces our colour sep films, proofs etc.) handles eps files from the HP driver we use without any problems. The driver is for the HP2500CP PS3 - choose "encapsulated PostScript" in printer setup, and when you print to file, change the file extension from .prn to .eps. Works for us. Also, for maps like yours, we developed a process of CMYK colour separating in MapInfo, including dialing in the precise CMYK colour we want - no need for any other intermediate program before sending files to printer for proofing. This has advantages in some cases.

RE: MI Help for MapInfo Uncombine ?
Hello Jon Petter,
On the surface of it, an uncombine function doesn't seem complicated, but
from experience I know there are several things that complicate the
solution.
MB provides an easy way of extracting the Nth polygon from a region using
the ExtractNodes() function. If the begin_node and end_node arguments are
both 1, you get the Nth whole polygon. So, this will give you a way of
extracting individual polygons, then using the area() function you can
perform your "threshold" test.
The difficult part comes with determining whether a polygon is an "include"
or "exclude". For example, a donut would be 2 polygons, 1 include and 1
exclude. However, not all 2 polygon regions are donuts - you can quite
easily have 2 disjoint includes. Also, you can nest inclusion and exclusion
zones to create more complex regions. Finally, the first polygon in a region
is not guaranteed to be an include. So, even with a simple donut, the hole
may be expressed as the first polygon.

Subject: MI Help for MapInfo "Uncombine" ?
Hi
I am trying to develop a function to perform "uncombine" on
multi-polygon regions. Then classify them based on area values ("Remove
all smaller than ...")
- Anyone programmed this in MapBasic ?
- Am I able to perform this by looping the polygons using data from
ObjectInfo ?
- How, in general, to detect which polygons are islands and which are
not ? Example : Donut region = 2 polygons.

RE: MI help
Hello Susan, I think this might be a fairly easy one (I hope!) I'm trying to build an array based off of user input. In the custom dialog there will only be on Edit Text box for the user to input the data. There will also be a Control Button titled "Next". The gist of it being that after the user inputs a string/value in the edit text box and clicks "next" the value will be stored and the edit text box cleared so that the next value can be inputted. I've tried a few different things (readcontrolvalue etc. but to no avail) Any suggestions (I'm limited to MB)? You have a choice of re-using or re-starting your dialog. To re-use it, you need to use the "alter control ..." statement to clear the text of the message box. To restart it, just arrange your code so that the "Next" button is an "okbutton" which dismissed the dialog, and loop around to call the "dialog ..." statement again. One thing to think about is that most user use the mouse to press buttons and not any keyboard shortcuts. So, your user will probably be switching between typing, mouse click several times. I don't know how many entries you're expecting from the user but I think a better solution would be to use a larger dialog with a reasonably sized text box. Put a note on the dialog asking the user to enter their value using a comma (or other) separator. Then, when they hit "OK", it's quite straight forward to write an MB loop which runs through the entered string and extracts the sub-strings/numbers for your array.
