Thanks for looking into this Bill although this is really not what I wanted to hear. Does this make any sense to you? Graphing is a common requirement. I would expect that Mapbasic functions for the graphing package would have been included when the company decided to go this 3rd party route. This is a very strange decision and not really acceptable.

The only way to communicate with it to control these advanced features is through a template. On Thu, 13 Jan 2005, Lorne wrote: > I posted this request in mid December but received no replies...
