Re: MI Space oblique Mercator ???
Bill,
Many thanks for the info.
Maybe Mapinfo could provide online access on more background information on
projection systems that are not pre-set in the mapinfow.prj file.
Thanks

from our online knowledgebase on www.mapinfo.com:
Background:
Excerpt from John Snyder's "Map Projections-A Working Manual":
This projection appears to be used simply for ease in plotting. The USGS
distributes maps in this projection that are not marked with the projection
name or scale to avoid implying the maps are suitable for geographic
information.
The Hotline Oblique Mercator appears to be one of its more modern forms and
is used more often presently.
Question:
Is this the same as a simple Longitude\Latitude (no datum) projection with
an affine transformation such as a Plane Chart?
From MapInfo-L 9/15/98: Thanks to the unnamed contributor.
The Plate Carre projection, also known as the Equidistant Cylindrical
Projection, is equivalent to a MapInfo's "Longitude\Latitude
projection" with an affine transformation. Try this coordinate
system:
Coordsys Earth Projection 1,0 Affine units "m", 111200,0,0,0,111200,0
Or, in the MAPINFOW.PRJ file:
"Longitude\Latitude Plate Carre Projection", 3001, 0, 7,
111200,0,0,0,111200,0
To get the correct coordinate values, specify the number of coordinate
units in a degree instead of the 1's.
For example, the very rough estimate of 111,200 meters in a degree yields
the following CoordSys clause:
Coordsys Earth Projection 1,0 Affine units "m", 111200,0,0,0,111200,0
This example gives suitable results at a world-wide scale.
If this is a raster map, let the raster registration process take care of
all the factors that appear below.
If it's a vector map, users will have to deal with the following factors in
order to get maps to line up correctly with datasets in
other projections:
"The Earth's equatorial bulge is represented by giving the y scaling factor
(the second 111200) a slightly smaller value from the x scaling factor (the
first 112000). The ratio of the two numbers is a function of the
eccentricity of the spheroid in the datum being used (It is probably
sqrt(1-e^2)), but needs to be verified).
Finally, the origin of the coordinate system may not be the intersection of
the Meridian of Greenwich and the Equator.
The projection's "False Easting" is the third number in the affine
transformation, the "False Northing" is the sixth number.
It appears to line up nicely with same maps in simple Longitude\Latitude
projection, no affine specs.

MI Mapinfo utility to shift geocoded points
I wanted to find out if there is a MB utility of somekind that will jitter (shift) a bunch of geocoded points that are stacked on top of one another due to being geocoded to a a zipcode centroid etc. I do a tremendous amount of batch geocoding and when there are records that do not have very clean addresses they get geocoded to Zip code centroid and in order to identify how many there are I have to click on the info tool button. What I would like to do is shift/jitter those points that are stacked on top of one another just a shade so that I can have an easier time identifying how many and then click on an individual point and move if rather than having to pull the points one at a time off the top of the stack.

MI pdf files
Hello everybody, What I just discovered is that the recent version of Corel Draw (v. 9.0) alows creation of Adobe Acrobat pdf files as an export function. The cost of upgrading to Corel 9.0 Graphics Suite is just US$199, and you can buy a qualifying package for upgrade for peanuts (Corel Office / Corel WP Office v. 6-7-8). There is also a free filter for Corel 9.0 that allows creation of Macromedia Flash presentations (although with some constraints). So in the end you buy the whole Corel suite (incl. vector Corel Draw, raster Corel PhotoPaint, Corel Trace and many other useful utilities) with pdf and Flash export capabilities for less money than you would pay for Adobe Acrobat writer ($235) or Macromedia Flash ($280) alone! Something to think about. This is not a paid ad from Corel, rather my personal excitement which I got from spending my own money - and I think it's a good deal. I am not saying you will have the full flexibility of handling these "alien" formats within CorelDraw (you cannot edit them, you can only export to them). I tried exporting MapInfo maps to dxf, then converting it into Adobe Illustrator .ai file and importing back to Corel as vector layer. The straight dxf import did not result in anything for whatever reason. E.g. a technology very similar to exporting vector layers from ArcView to Corel Draw for final cartographic design. Gleb.

I've spent the last 25 or so years of my career trying to figure this out. Basically, I'm a software developer that's been doing GIS part time for the past five years... First of all, the soap-box: Software Engineering is a discipline unto itself. There is a large body of work and entire degree programs devoted to it. While it is usual for small projects to be done successfully by anyone, the difficulty of projects explodes in a non-linear way with size, as Bill observed. I strongly suggest that anyone tackling a moderate to large size project (more than 10-20 pages of code, 5 to 10 screens) engage the advice of someone who is familiar with this kind of work. You'll be happier, and so will your users / client. I know this sounds like an argument for job crafts in some Union, but... "trust me". Follow this link for a wonderful summary of "Software's Ten Essentials" "Virtually every backpacker, rock climber, and recreational hiker in the Pacific Northwest is familiar with the Seattle Mountaineers' list of "Ten Essentials": extra clothing, extra food, sunglasses, knife, firestarter, first aid kit, waterproof matches, flashlight, map, and compass. The Ten Essentials are the end-product of years of hard-won experience. They are intended to help mountaineers avoid getting into trouble in the first place, and, if that doesn't work, to minimize the damage. No experienced mountaineer would go into the mountains without the Ten Essentials. Experienced software developers have also accumulated years of hard-won experience. Our software adventures often contain more uncharted paths and dangerous territory than a simple hike in the woods does, and so I propose a list of Ten Essentials for software projects.

Re: MI MapInfo Compatibility Problems?
Yes you are right and why ??? I often simply edit the header info in the tab or wor to downspec the version statement and I can open many new mapinfo files even in 4.1 , 4.1 16 bit (which we use for a few custom mbx's we had built) , 4 for PowerMac and 4.5 so I can't see why MI cannot at least allow some backward compatibility. If you of course are reliant on using some of the more obscure recent line styles improvements, thematic mapping additions or need the over 36,000 node polygons and lines that may fairly well restrict your ability. Welcoming the improvements in linestyle sizes and options in 4.5, we mainly use thematic mapping to alter line styles rather than in the basic data to ensure older versions can remain functional. Since my department budget for software was cut 60% this year I am looking at what maintenance contracts we have, and will be looking at sustaining a variety of version for a few another year since I simply make a bigger rod for my own back each time I upgrade mapinfo and we lose an existing user until this problem is resolved by whatever action. This is making this a real issue to me. I do not see any good reason why in its 'save table as ', and 'save workspace as' options they cannot allow users to choose to save files as older 4.* types not simply as version 2. If Adobe and Microsoft are able to offer this feature with #350 notes software why can't Mapinfo. Is an answer needed!
