RE: [MI-L] Exporting map as bitmap

[Tim Smith]

Title: Message

Thanks Gilbert,   That would help a bit, but my problem is that I need the street level printed out. When zoomed in to the correct level (where street-names appear), I can only get about 500m on the screen. If I change the zoom level to get more of the map, it changes the feature appearance. Also the size of the layout window is determined by the printer, which in my case is A4!   Perhaps there's a way to set dpi, without changing the zoom level.   I've no idea what to do next.   Tim -----Original Message----- From: Gilbert Haché [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 September 2006 13:57 To: Tim Smith Subject: RE: [MI-L] Exporting map as bitmap Don’t use the Map windows to export. Use the layout, put your map on it and export your image from there. The screen is limited in size but the layout can be huge like 36X 28 as an example Vs a 15 inches screen! You can even set a layout with multiple pages and resize it if you really want a lot of details   Save as .png, the file size will be small, jpeg are good for images with lots of colors or shade, png is more efficient with file with few colors like a map.   Hope this help   Gilbert   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim Smith Sent: September 15, 2006 8:29 AM To: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: [MI-L] Exporting map as bitmap   Hi List,   Does anyone know the best way to export a huge bitmap of an area of a map with MapInfo pro?   The 'Save Window As' option is no good as I need to export a large area, and when I zoom in to street level (which is what I want to export), I obviously only see a small part of the large area I want to export.   I'm using the UTM WGS84 projection and datum.   What I'd like to do is specify an easting and northing and width and height, a zoom level (so I can choose street-level) and an output resolution. I might be asking for a lot, but how else can you export a street-level bitmap?   The 'Save Window As' option is also limited to around 9,500 pixels in any dimension.   Can anyone help me?   Kind regards   Tim ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
