If you have an attribute to distinguish between the points consistently from place to place then this might be doable. For example, if you could attach a sequence number from 1 to 5 to each place then you could use classes and offsets.
For example: seq name color 1 place1 red 2 place1 blue 3 place1 red 1 place2 white 1 place3 red 2 place3 blue then you could have a layer like: LAYER ... CLASSITEM 'seq' CLASS EXPRESSION '1' # no offset STYLE ... END END CLASS EXPRESSION '2' # ul STYLE OFFSET -10 -10 ... END END CLASS EXPRESSION '3' # lr STYLE OFFSET 10 10 ... END END ... END This would have the effect off ringing the center point with the other data. You could create other patterns (such as a line) with different offsets.

Here is my case: There are many ppl in same xy, each ppl carry 1-5 color ball(s). I would like to show these five ppl and also what color ball(s) they are carrying on the map in same time. Does anyone experiense similiar case? Is it possible? Since I have seen a disperse function in mapinfo. Thanks all Regards Taka Wong
