Mappers,
I usually wait more than a day to summarize responses but the replies came
thick and fast on this one. I guess there was a innate hunger for a topic
other than spam!

Hi Mick,
You can find the area by using a SQL statement with the areaoverlap function.
Eg.
Select Sum(AreaOverLap(Health.Obj,Buffer.Obj)) From Health, Buffer Where Health.Obj
Intersects Buffer.Obj
where Health and Buffer are the table names.
To get it in the area units you require, use the "S

I have a health zone layer and a clinic buffer layer (10km circles) Some of
the buffers extend into the sea, in these cases I just want the area on land
i.e. the overlap between the buffer and the health zone. I can do it
manually, i.e. trace round the desired area with autotrace, then

The rough bitmap problem can be solved if you use a postscript printer

I am using OS data to digitise agricultural field polygons and then obtain their areas

If you have Mapinfo 5.0 or 5.5 you can use the ArcLink feature under the
Tools menu. If you have a previous version you can't do it. I think there
are a couple of programs on the mapinfo-l website that converts e00 files
into tab or mif files.

in MapInfo you are able to vary the relative size of an pie chart in a
