The definitions contained in the MB v6.0 help file of Create Pline and
Create Region both give the same limits:

A single-section polyline can contain up to 32,763 nodes. For a
multiple-section polyline, the limit is smaller: for each additional
section, reduce the number of nodes by three.
A single-polygon region can contain up to 32,763 nodes. For a
multiple-polygon region, the limit is smaller: for each additional polygon,
reduce the number of nodes by three.

However, the "version 4.5 supplement" states clearly that "the maximum
number of nodes for regions and polylines has been increased to 1048572
nodes for a single polygon region or polyline. The limit drops by seven
nodes for every two additional polygons."

It seems that MI has missed another place where updating would be welcome.

In any case, the limits for number of nodes and number of elements are not
independent; their sum is limited.

Subject: MI-L Internal limits

Are there internal limits in MapInfo 6:
Maximum number of polygons per region?
Maximum number of points per polygon?
Maximum number of points per region?

Thanks in advance
