RE: MI Rotating Grid for Layout

[Jacques Paris]

If you want to rotate your map inside a "horizontal" layout frame, then you will have to rotate the map inside its mapper.   I do not know about the newest development in this area but I had invented a work around quite "involved". It required registering first a fake image such that its North will be rorated, opening a mapper with it and loading your map in that mapper. The map will adopt the North of the image.   There is a chapter on that in "My Bag o'Tricks". See our site if you can still get it (e-mail to my son). If it does not work, I may find a way to send you these pages.   Jacques Paris e-mail                alternate      [EMAIL PROTECTED]   [EMAIL PROTECTED] paris PC Consult (mainly MapInfo app.)      www.total.net/~rparis/gisproducts.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bob Foss Sent: December 9, 1999 10:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI Rotating Grid for Layout I am using Mapinfo Professional 4.5. I have a map projected in NYS Plane Coordinate System that I would like to rotate about 25 degrees for layout purposes. I cannot seem to find any commands to accomplish that goal. "Rotate" only returns information on how to rotate text, not the underlyng grid.   Bob Foss Smith & Mahoney, P.C. P.O. Box 22047 382 Broadway Albany, NY  12201-2047 518-463-4107 fax 518-463-3823
