MI Unique Index Column Creation Problem (Oracle)
Hello, While registering the Oracle table in mapInfo it does so by ordering the table in ascending order upon the unique index column created. Is it possible to register the table as it is without any ordering ? Thank you.

RE: MI - Command line parameters?
You can't pass parameters to a main, as far as I am aware, but you can pick up the parameters when mapInfo was run. Eg "c:\mapinfo\mapinfo.exe c:\mapinfo\myapp.mbx john johnspassword". (Although this does have the effect of leaving a nasty stain on the MRU). The API to do this is: Declare Function GetCommandLine Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetCommandLineA" () As String Carl Nunn - ALIGNED ASSETS - telephone: 01483 306 210 - web: www.aligned-assets.co.uk -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David J Jerrard Sent: 18 August 1999 00:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI - Command line parameters?

MI MapX questions
Hello All..., I have some qustions regarding MapX Application Programming Development. 1. We have tried developing a VB and MapX based application. After it was compiled to be an .exe and made its installer using Package Deployment Wizard - the application always asked for Mapx30.ocx. It just won't work until I copy the whole SDK into the PC. Q: Do we always need to install and use MapX SDK to run an application? If not - how? 2. We tried to call a geotiff raster to be shown as a vector backdrop - It really took a long time compare to the usual MI Pro. Q: What do I have to to make it faster? After it was loaded - We failed to show it in a small zoom(It doesn't appear in the screen) Image quality also degraded(appears some lines on top of image) Is it capable opening more than one raster file?(We loaded two files and than the app. hang up). Our image file size average is 35MB. We use MapX 3.5 and VB 6.0 in a PC with PII-400MHz, 64MB Ram, 4 MB VRam, 2X 4.3GB HDD.

MI problems printing colours
Thanks to everyone who replied to my question on HPGL2 printing. I've downloaded the Oce drivers, but haven't tried it yet as I'm still working on the maps. I've been trying to print some smaller test plots at the same scale (1:24,000) on our HP Deskjet 855C, but it doesn't print many of the colours correctly when printing lines. The basic colours like red, blue, black and green come out nice and sharp, but most of the rest come out as faint, "bitty" looking lines, almost like a bad raster image of a vector line. A specific example is the the color RGB 128,128,0, which is the fifth from the right on the top row of the MI colour palette (on 5.0). I'm trying to print some contour lines with this colour but they look terrible. Is this just a limitation of my printer? I downloaded the latest driver from HP (the 850C driver), but that doesn't help. Any suggestions? TIA, Tim Warman Geologist GIS Specialist Richard C.

Re: MI MapX questions
Howdy, I can address the first question, but I haven't fiddled too much with the raster images within the MapX framework. Regarding installations, the Package Deployment Wizard is simply too limited to be able to do a MapX installation. Look in the MapX help file regarding deployment of MapX applications. Not only do you have to include a bunch of dll's, ocx's, and tlb's, you also have to install fonts, register some (but not all) of the dll's, register the tlb's, write registry keys. It's a pain, but if you follow the instructions by the letter, it does work. I've had success installing MapX using InstallShield Professional, and lesser versions could probably do the job as well. Simply put, the VB Package Deployment wizard can't do it. Also, installing the full SDK as you're doing *might* violate some licensing issues. One rumor had it that MapX 4 (which should be out soonish) was going to include it's own installation routine... but rumors are rumors.

Having a heck of a time trying to address match in MI 4.5.
Hi Richard, view your street data in a browser window and see if there are any street number range columns, from left, to left, etc. where the house address numbers are present. If no numbers are present you can only geocode off of the muliple street segments present, i.e., you have no way to distinquish which segment to pick. If you have street intersection data you might be able to geocode to that level. Having a heck of a time trying to address match in MI 4.5.

Re: MI Theme colors
here are two answers i received to the following: my table has a field with 10 specific values in it that i set up color themes for. when the entrire table is mapped, the colors correctly match the corresponding value of the field. for example: apple=red, pear=yellow, grape=purple, pea=green. however, when i query and map only a portion of the table, it may only have 2 of the 10 values present, such as pear and pea. the color theme then becomes pear=red and pea=yellow. the color is being determined by the order the value appears in the field, rather than the value itself. the thematic map type=individual and the template name=region indvalue. how do i set up the theme colors to always be apple=red, pear=yellow, grape=purple, pea=green, regardless of the order they appear in the field Answer from MI tech support: Unfortunately, you would need to write a MapBasic application to do this. There really isn't anyway to set this up in MapInfo. Cindy MapInfo Technical Support here's an answer from the MapInfo-L discussion group... 1. In your dataset, make sure that all of your particular data pieces are assigned a #. For instance, pear = 1, apple = 2, orange = 3 2. Under Ranges in the Thematic Map Step 1 section, choose Area Ranges, Default. 3. Pick your table and field in section 2. 4. In step 3 Customize area, choose Ranges... 5. For Method, pick Custom. For # of ranges, choose 10 6. Type in ranges: 1 to 1, 2 to 2, 3 to 3, etc. for all ten items. 7. Choose OK 8. Choose Styles in the Customize section. 9. Make your color style for each item, then hit OK. 10.

I have a tricky SQL someone might be able to help me with (at least, it's tricky for me). I have two tables of polygons, one is land use, the other are management units. I need a breakdown of land use within each management unit. I need to be able to say for example, "management unit Type A comprises 10% cropping, and 90% grazing land use." There was a discussion not long ago about the use of the AreaOverlap function, but I can't seem to make it work for me. It would be nice if I could do this by calculating proportion overlap, rather than having to split the land use polygons. The two files are very big and complex. Any ideas?
