Dear list

I would like to know, if there is a workspace-fix and that we had the same
troubles using the buffer tool as Mats Elfstrom reported.

We just experienced that if we open a workspace in MI4.5, which was saved as
workspace in MI5.5 we cannot open it.

Therefore we open that workspace in a text editor, so that we can change the
heather-line:

*   !version 450 instead of 550
*   !charset WindowsLatin1

As a result all the saved tables which appeared correctly on the screen in
MI 5.5 are gone in MI 4.5.

Did everyone else experienced the same kind of trouble using two different
versions of MapInfo?
Or which functions changed in MI 5.5 that cause those troubles?

By the way I've read the mails of Mats Elfstrom and Steve Wallace concerning
that the buffer does not work correctly in MI 5.5 as a windows solution. 

Yesterday we used the buffer tool and were surprised that in the windows
version the buffers look like eggs. So that we took that table to the good
old Mac and were very much surprised that MI 4.0 for  Mac shows the buffers
correctly as circles.

Best regards


Christian Cattaneo

Hello everyone,

thanks to all who responded - I am now perferctly aware that BNA is a format
used and generated by AtlasGIS. There's also other tools out there such as
IE and MapMaker who can apparently generate BNA from MID/MIF.

MI: Import excel

1999-12-09 Thread Patrick van der Deijl

Hello all,

I've a excel table which loses its last character in a characterfield
when imported in MI 5.0
No matter if the placename is short or long, the last character is
lost.
However, in MI 4.5 and 5.5 this problem does not occur.

Who has experienced this strange phenomenon before and, better, has a
solution. Of course you can export excel into dbase but this kind of
detours are not a solution. And why does it works fine in MI 4.5 and
5.5?

Thanks,

Hi Matt

MapInfo pro comes with ARC Link which converts E00 files into TAB format and
the other way round.
You need to use a custom install when installing MI Pro and select the
ARCLink - it is not installed as part of the normal installation setup.

Re: MI Calculate Raster Area / Convert to Vector

1999-12-09 Thread Damian Skeeles


Thanks for everyone's replies.  It looks like I'm not
the only one looking for this feature in MI - I'm a
newcomer to the MI camp, and when I found it had
almost zero raster functionality, I was amazed. Like
Rich, I also used Arcview with the Spatial Analyst
add-on last year for the same kind of job, and after a
bit of script coding it worked like a dream. I'm new
to MI, and only do mapping as a part of my job (GSM
Radio Planning), but this seems like a massive gap in
MI's features.

Due to time and cost constraints, we eventually
digitised the maps by hand, but I did find a program
that's tailor-made for the task. It's called R2V, and
can be found at http://www.ablesw.com - it takes TIF
files as inputs, and performs edge-detect or
centreline-detect for particular colours, exporting as
Mapinfo MIF, Arcview SHP or Autocad DXF. It could do
with a little refinement - I couldn't find how to
export vector IDs with the MIF file, and it truncated
the coordinate system I gave it - but it did the job
quite quickly and easily, and a couple of edits in the
MIF file afterwards sorted anything it couldn't
handle. There's probably other software out there
that's better or cheaper - this was the first I came
across, but it worked fairly well.

 Well technically this may be correct.  Simple images
 contain only a
 colorization value rather than a raster matrix of
 "sensorized" values
 calibrated to a reference scale that have been
 themed.  You might also consider
 Surfer (http://www.goldensoftware.com).  Lower cost,
 more powerful and faster
 than VM in my opinion.  New tools coming along that
 may also give you that
 spatial analysis edge as well.
 
  So I retreated to the ArcView camp. ArcView Image
 Analyst allows you to
  create a grid from an image file. You can them
 export the grid from Spatial
  Analyst as ASCII, and import it into VM, or you
 can use Spatial Analyst to
  create vector polygons (shape files) which can be
 imported into MI.
 
  I think MI  VM are so superior to ArcView 
 Spatial Analyst that I hate

 VM snobbed me off, and I
  don't think MI reads this list.

MI: Excel Import

1999-12-09 Thread Patrick van der Deijl

Dear Jon/Tom/Anton and the rest of the mailing list who responded,

Thanks for your comments. It seemed to be the patch that wasn't
installed yet.
Imported works fine now, but to be honest, I'm a bit confused that MI
4.5 and MI 5.5 work import excel 97 documents fine, while MI 5.0 has
problems.
Can those wizkids at MapInfo just take the good stuff with them when
they update the software, and modify the known bugs (like the very
irritating bug of filling a column with x and y-coordinates in a
certain projection while it results in latlong coordinates. If you
don't know what I mean, watch this mailing list and I'm sure next year
it will be asked in this list at least 3 or 4 times) in stead of vice
versa?

Hi Patrick,

Are you running 5.0 or 5.0.1? If I recall it correctly, we had a similar

"mi501p.exe", and upgrading it to 5.0.1. It think that was a tiny

Just so that you're not alone, I've had the same experience with MI 5.0.
Fortunately, though, my Excel data wasn't very large and I was able to add a

don't really have a solution except to put in a space character

MI Re: MapInfo and Oracle8i

1999-12-09 Thread Andrew_Dressel

I am currently assessing the feasibility of moving our MapInfo dataset to
an
Oracle8i back-end database.  Does anybody out there have any experience of
using Oracle8i to store GIS data.

Yes, we have, and quite a few of MapInfo's Partners in the UK have been
trained
on Oracle8i Spatial and MapInfo integration.

I am particularly interested in the performance of spatial queries,

Of course, they entirely depend of data volumes, how many concurrent users
and
size of your system in terms of CPUs and memory available.   We have no
generic
benchmarks available, but depending on your requirement, we could look to
help
out with your assessment of this environment.

multi-user capabilities,

This is exactly what the MapInfo Professional and Oracle8i Spatial
integration
provides.   MapInfo Professional, MapX and MapXtreme/Java are all now using
NATIVE Oracle8i Spatial connectivity (via Oracle Call Interface = OCI).  In
MapInfo Professional we provide both a "download" as well as a "live
access"
model supporting multi-user concurrency and transactional
insert/update/delete
functionality at record-level !


No. of Oracle concurrent licenses required

That depends of how many users you expose to your application and what your
chosen deployment will be (i.e. client/server setup or web-based).

and what the trade-offs in terms of license requirements over performance
are
when using linked or live tables.

If I understand this question correct, there will be no difference in
license
requirement whether you are using linked or live access tables.  In both
cases
you'll need the same amount of licenses.  In terms of performance,
generally,
you'll probably perceive the "linked" scenario to be faster (especially on
small
data volumes), - however the beauty of "live access" is that you can limit
the data-retrievel to the "current mapper window" (provided you have a
unique index
on your dataset) and therefore "live access" will accelerate on big data
volumes.

Re: MI MapInfo Stock - On fire

1999-12-09 Thread Neil Havermale

Bill the stock was moving before the announcement of a 3:2 split.  Why?

Well lets see.  My bet is primarily the effect of Oracle 8i and DB2
integration with the MapInfo internet model, MapXtream.  Given that both
database systems are moving towards JAVA designs, it makes MapInfo suddenly
a very good alternative to ESRI that gambled on Microsoft's vision.  I
think Linux growth also may have a secondary effect here as well.  You may
not need NT at all and MapInfo's internet technology apparently works well
on Linux.  And we know JAVA works on SUN machines. And to quote Andy:

"MapInfo Professional, MapX and MapXtreme/Java are all now using
NATIVE Oracle8i Spatial connectivity (via Oracle Call Interface = OCI).  In

MapInfo Professional we provide both a "download" as well as a "live
access" model supporting multi-user concurrency and transactional
insert/update/delete functionality at record-level !"

Another issue that tends to drive stock upwards is plain old success.
MapInfo since John Cavalier's taking over of the company has had nothing
but good news.  Most stock value growth in the near past was directly in
step to their PE ratio.  As gross sales went up quater after quarter the
stock value moved as well.  And the MAPS PEs never got really out of wack.

The most recent change in stock value, I  believe, is suddenly MapInfo is
seen as a $100 million corporation with very important "internet"
technology.  It is the only GIS software stock that has good fundamentals
as well as the preceived "killer" technology.  The alternatives, like
AutoCAD and Intergraphic are doing relatively poorly.  And ESRI is not a
public corporation.  (Better yet ESRI is seen as absorbed by the "Borg"
having aligned their newest offering, ArchaicInfo 8.0 to Micorsoft's NT,
SQL Server, and Visual Basic.)

Lastly, the stock "float" (stock available for trade) is not really all
that large as compared to the emerging daily volume of 60,000 and more
shares.  It seems that once a small stock hits the daily trading value of a
million bucks, suddenly alot of traders (who typically know little about
GIS) take interest.

I see the stock split as a very prudent and smart move to increase the
necessary float to build volume and give all of the earily MapInfo
"bleeders' something tangible in liew of a dividend.  Very smart and
essentially unexpected.  You too can get the bonus if you move quickly.

Is anyone aware of an .mbx or a snip of code that will
convert "combined polylines (multiple sections)" into
single section polylines?

I am aware Andrew Dressel's "polyline to line

utility, however it splits polyline segments into
single lines, and I don't want to inflate the table
record number more than necessary...

It is also important to maintain the data attributes

RE: MI MapInfo Stock - On fire

1999-12-09 Thread Wilson, Doug A

Well in looking at the chart, the stock barely reacted to the earnings
report. The price started to take off 12/1, 7 days before the announcement.
Perhaps someone got the news early, which seems to be increasingly common.
To me a stock split in this price range, today's close was 35.625, is abit
worrying as a stockholder.
A few years ago I owned Iomega. It split 2:1 at $20 and has never seen $10
since!

Notice that there was no reason given for the split. Stocks generally split
because the have gotten too high for the "average" investor to buy an even
number of shares. $36/share still doesn't seem to rich (Most stocks seem to
split around $100/share).

Maybe MapInfo wants to get the price back to the IPO price, $24/share. Looks
like an analyst recommended a buy on MapInfo. Maybe he recognizes that
MapInfo as an Internet play possibility. ( I'd like to see it go up like
Yahoo, or Linux, wouldn't you?)

Now you may be wondering what this has to due with this list. Well we've all
hooked a fair amount of our time and energy to MapInfo and the stronger the
company is, the more valuable and in demand our skills will be.

 Probably has something to do with the stock split. See Recent
 Industry Press release,
 "MapInfo Announces Three-For-Two Stock Split" at

MI Open Workspace

1999-12-09 Thread ganeshag





Dear Mapper,
We are a GIS Consultant located in Bali, Indonesia. We use Mapinfo 
Professional to process our map, and made some additional Mapinfo functions to 
open workspace. For example: we handle the Mapinfo window into our program 
window. We use Ms. Visual Basic as a tool, but we have a problem to open the 
workspace with multiple windows, such as: one map window, one browser window, 
and one layout window. We can not handle all of those windows, but only the map 
window that we could handle it through our program. So, we would like to ask you 
how we can solve this problem.
Regards,
Alit

MI outer join utility

1999-12-09 Thread Fran Peck

Anyone know of a utility that will process a SQL outer join in one pass. I
checked out the archives, but didn't see anything that looked like it would
do the trick.  The multiple steps needed to do an outer join in MI are
clunky.  Thanks in advance.
