I am trying to set up a .mbx that exports(as images) several views along a
route. I want to create a scalebar and north arrow for each view and i am
having a lot of trouble figuring out how to achieve this.
Ideally i would like to be able to use the North Arrow and Scale bar tools
that come with MapInfo but i have no idea how to call them from in my code.
I have been attempting to use the NorthArrow table to insert the objects
into my cosmetic layer but no objects are visible after the mbx has
executed.
This is the code i have been using where oNArr1 & oNArr2 are objects that
are the two parts of North Arrow.
Sub MakeNorthArrow
Insert into WindowInfo(FrontWindow(),WIN_INFO_TABLE)(obj)
values (oNArr1)
Insert into WindowInfo(FrontWindow(),WIN_INFO_TABLE)(obj)
values (oNArr2)
End Sub
I suspect that the objects are created in exactly the same location
spatially as they are in the North Arrow table, and i don't know how to
move them to where i need them. I just wish there was a function that was
equivalent to just copying and pasting like i can do manually in MapInfo.
