MI ODBC Errors

1999-12-20 Thread Markus Lindner

Hello List,

I have a problem with MapInfo Professional and ODBC Connection to
Access 97.

When i want to open an access table via odbc i get an error message: 

operation cancelled by user,...data may be incomplete... 
(translated from german) although i have not cancelled this operation...

It happens in the following cases: 

Machine running MapInfo 4.5 and Acess 97, ODBC Version 3.5
Machine running MapInfo 5.0 and Acess 97, ODBC Version 3.5
Machine running MapInfo 5.5 and Acess 97, ODBC Version 3.5

Did anyone from the list run into the same errors ? Is it a known bug ?
i did not find anything in the faq, or the knowledge base.



Regards, 

Markus

MI MAPBASIC

1999-12-20 Thread Crompton, Mark

Hi All,

Even though Fraser asked about the Spy tool, I would like to bring to
everyone's attention the book mentioned below:

WHITENER AND RYKER (authors) - MAPBASIC DEVELOPER'S GUIDE

Anyone wishing to get into MapBasic programming - BUY THIS BOOK.  It is
without doubt the most useful resource I have ever seen or used for
MapBasic.

Just my $.02

I am working my way through Whitener and Ryker's MapBasic Developer's Guide.
They refer to a Visual C++ utility called Spy that enables a developer to
get information on dialog controls by clicking on them. Can Spy be used
independently of VC++, and if so, is there someone who can send me a copy of
this or a similar utility?

Many thanks,

RE: MI Buffers with problems...

1999-12-20 Thread Warren Vick, Europa Technologies Ltd.

Hello Ian,

If I understand your message correctly, the bug you describe is not related
to the accuracy issue of passing objects through the cosmetic layer but one
regarding MapInfo's inability to create large spherical buffers correctly.
This is has been a long standing bug in Pro - since I started to use v3.0
anyway. The problem is demonstrated by creating large buffers (typically
several hundred miles) around objects. Pro converts a single lat/lon (at the
centroid I'm told) and turns the buffer distance into a unit measurement of
latitude and longitude. The problem here is that a degree of longitude
changes width depending on latitude. The single sample point means that
buffers always appear elliptical (in the normal rectangular world
projections). I have also observed that the "spread" which should be seen as
a buffer approaches the poles does not occur. Changing projection does not
seem to have any effect as the buffer functions do not take coordinate
system into account (unless deciding between spherical and Cartesian
schemes). The errors induced can be quite staggering (I've seen ~20%),
especially if you create a large buffer around a latitude rich region (like
the country Chile).

If this is the problem you are experiencing, then as you say, it has been
reported and it has come up on the list a couple of times. The separation of
spherical and Cartesian buffers highlights the problem more-so since Pro's
implementation is not a spherical calculation at all - more a sort of
adaptive linear system. Personally, I think it's the most serious bug in the
product. I have not found any workaround apart from having to write my own
spherical buffer code. Extreme caution is needed in this area for safety or
commercially critical applications.

BTW, please take it easy on those attachments when posting to the list!

MI Pro generated web maps with info pop-ups

1999-12-20 Thread Warren Vick, Europa Technologies Ltd.

Hello all,

Over the weekend I updated the Map Gallery on the Europa web site to reflect
new versions of our products. I added something that may be of interest to
the list. Each of the map gallery pages now has a map which includes pop-up
information. This is a bit like a floating info-tool window or a rich tool
tip. Hovering your mouse pointer over the black place dots reveals some
information about the location. It's pretty useful when MapInfo's anti label
collision method has prevented certain place names appearing - now you can
just point to reveal. I'm currently just displaying some attribute
information... there's no reason why the pop-up could not show contact
details, etc. Overall, I think it's a good example of intelligent map
interaction without the need for a map server. There are still a few
improvements to be made. The biggest problem is that modifications need to
be made to support Netscape - so, for now, try it with IE. An additional
problem is that pointing to a location on the far left brings up a largely
off-screen pop-up - I'll fix that one tomorrow.

You can look at any of over 200 maps which use this scheme at
http://www.europa-tech.com/gallery.htm

For the technically minded, the maps and HTML pages were generated by a
MapBasic program. The program has now been enhanced to generate a client
side image map (CSIM) which details calculated hot-spot circles for each
place dot on the map. The pop-ups are based on some JavaScript code called
overLIB (http://www.bosrup.com/web/overlib/).  There is of course no reason
why each of the hot-spots could not link to other web pages.

Let me know what you think about it, or if you experience any problems with
your IE browser.

RE: MI MapBasic : Distance point to line

1999-12-20 Thread Warren Vick, Europa Technologies Ltd.

Hello Véronique,

May I add to Bill's reply that a truly accurate implementation of
point-object distance is not very efficient to implement in MB as it
involves iteration through nodes. This is the reason why many utilities will
compromise accuracy by not calculating the true perpendicular distance.
Also, ensure that very long "straight" lines have a suitable number of
coincident nodes. This will reduce errors induced by the geometric straight
line vs. great circle path discrepancy.

RE: MI Help for MapInfo "Uncombine" ?

1999-12-20 Thread Warren Vick, Europa Technologies Ltd.

Hello Jon Petter,

On the surface of it, an uncombine function doesn't seem complicated, but
from experience I know there are several things that complicate the
solution.

MB provides an easy way of extracting the Nth polygon from a region using
the ExtractNodes() function. If the begin_node and end_node arguments are
both 1, you get the Nth whole polygon. So, this will give you a way of
extracting individual polygons, then using the area() function you can
perform your "threshold" test.

The difficult part comes with determining whether a polygon is an "include"
or "exclude". For example, a donut would be 2 polygons, 1 include and 1
exclude. However, not all 2 polygon regions are donuts - you can quite
easily have 2 disjoint includes. Also, you can nest inclusion and exclusion
zones to create more complex regions. Finally, the first polygon in a region
is not guaranteed to be an include. So, even with a simple donut, the hole
may be expressed as the first polygon.

Re: MI DRILL DOWN?????

1999-12-20 Thread Exa-Min

This is a standard MapLinker feature. You can configure mappers and drill
downs through the standard user interface without programming. Sorry it is
not a freeware solution - but perhaps still cheaper than buying MapBasic. 

We do much of our programming in C++ and VB, but we still need a little
MapBasic to link the dll or com objects into MapInfo Pro. Your other
programming option is the MapX OCX which you can talk to directly from VB,
but you do have to custom program all the menus and buttons.

Can MI create points as it opens an Access DB?

1999-12-20 Thread Eric S Johnson



Here's something I've been able to do in ArcView, but have no recent
experience with in MI.  Does anyone have any experience with this and/or
suggestions to offer?

I have an Access97 database that includes latitude and longitude fields.
I'd like to be able to open an MI table of that database so that all
records have point objects affiliated with them, based on the most
up-to-date values in the latitude and longitude fields.  It'd be nice to
avoid having to create points by hand each time.

In the past, I've used a somewhat clunky workaround -- I wrote an MB
program to create the points.  Unfortunately, one has to remember to run
the .MBX every time information changes in the Access database.

ArcView can 'create the points' (or whatever the equivalent ESRI term is!)
anew every time the data is opened and added to a view (=mapper).  Does MI
have a similar functionality?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Sincerely,

Eric Johnson

MI Webpublisher Press Release

1999-12-20 Thread Freyja Ellis

"...a population the size of the UK joins the internet every 6 months." 
(Cisco Systems,1999)

As the internet increases in popularity so does the demand to include maps 
and related data on the web.  Until now, it is a choice between posting a 
static image of a map or investing in server-based GIS technology to 
publish maps requested by end users.  To fill the middle ground between 
these options, MapCentric are pleased to announce the launch of 
web.Publisher? for MapInfo? and ArcView?.

web.Publisher is a fast and easy way to publish a MapInfo workspace or 
ArcView project on the internet or intranet as a static map with live data 
"hotspots".  In just three easy steps, web.Publisher can produce HTML pages 
with maps containing hyperlinks and/or any attribute data you wish to be 
viewed.  web.Publisher is Browser independent, needs no special server 
software and can be used within MapInfo and/or ArcView.  It can even be 
integrated into your own applications to make it easy for your users to 
spread the results of their work quickly and easily to non-GIS users.

web.Publisher also has the ability to publish a "live" folder tree from 
Windows? Explorer so that you can find and open selected files directly 
from the Browser.  A fabulous way to publish your work to a wider audience.

Further information, some sample output and a free 30 day evaluation 
download is available from our website at www.mapcentric.co.uk or email us 
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call +44 (0)20 7242 4535.  It's worth a quick 
look - it could save you loads of time and money.

MI Replies - calls to kernel.exe

1999-12-20 Thread Fraser Gardiner

Thanks to all who replied to my question and saved me a lot of trouble! The
sample applications I was studying were 16-bit programs calling
"kernel.exe". In 32-bit systems the call is to "kernel32.dll".

Anssi Joutsiniemi said:

"Also most of short type (SmallInt in MapInfo) variables are replaced with
Long (ie. Integer in MI). Also the names of dll functions have an additional
'A' on their name in 32 bit system.

So for example the 16 bit declare :
'*'
 Declare Function GetProfileString Lib "Kernel" (lpAppName As String,
  lpKeyName As String, lpDefault As String,
  lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As SmallInt) As SmallInt
'*'

would look something like this on your Windows98:
'*'
Declare Function GetProfileString Lib "Kernel32" Alias "GetProfileStringA"
(lpAppName As String,  lpKeyName As String, lpDefault As String,
lpReturnedString As String,  ByVal nSize As Integer) As Integer
'*'


Thanks again. Hope everyone enjoys the festive season.

MI/VM data aggregation questions

1999-12-20 Thread Daniel Donnell

Hi all,
I have a Vertical Mapper data aggregation question for anyone who has
had some Vertical Mapper experience.
I have a fairly large data set that contains Lon,Lat,Depth, Survey+AF8-ids,
and four other 1 character attributes that I open in MI as a text file and
then create points.  I then use simple data aggregation in VM to thin the
data set to something more managable.  My question is how do I get the
Survey+AF8-ids and other attributes(all Character values) into the aggregated
table.  I know how to get the Lon and Lat values through the update column
function(centriod(x),centroid(y)) but have yet to figure out how to bring
the Survey+AF8-ids,etc into the aggregated table.
 I'm running MI 5.0 with VM 2.1 on an NT4.0 platform.

TIA
Dan Donnell

RE: MI Using the data in a String Variable

1999-12-20 Thread RH Jannini

Scott-

What you want to do is PARSE the string to the individual commands that are
unique to the LAYOUT code you listed. Start with LAYOUT or SET LAYOUT and
work your way down the next "unique" command such as in the CREATE 
command - the quotes may be the only tricky part in properly double quoting
them if you dynamically rebuild them with new values.

Alternatively, if the layouts are made to be STANDARD enough (i.e.: window
names, common query result table names, etc.) then you could simply keep
your STRING in a file with the appropriate WOR header and run it from the
RUN APPLICATION command (which, if you didn't know doesn't have to be called
*.WOR or *.MBX).

Depending on your need - either approach should work for you.

Happy mappin'

MI Lat Longs in MapInfo

1999-12-20 Thread John Harrop

I havn't been able to find this in ant FAQs I know about.  Please point me
at the right one if there is one.

I've been working with digital maps for some years, but I find it quite hard
to track down explinations of the various Lat Long systems and how they
relate.  I know that is I use a map from Sweden that the Prime Meridian does
not go through the same place as a British map.  But when it comes to Lat
Long shifts between datums, things get cloudier.

I can see that a change from a non-geocentric ellipsoid to a geocentric one
can affect Lat and Long for a given position on the surface of the Earth.
I'm pretty sure that changing between two geocentric ellipsoids will only
affect Lat for a given position on the surface of the Earth.  (Is that
correct?)  But I'm not sure when all these other Lat Long systems that are
defined in MapInfo come into use.  I'm used to being able to find the
projection used, and usually the datum on maps I'm working with.  Or select
a suitable projection if I'm compiling from various sources.  But I'm not
sure how much difference the different Lat Long systems make - how bad is
selecting the wrong one for instance?

Any help with this, or a pointer to a Web page covering this would be most
appreciated.  If there isn't already a Map Projection FAQ perhaps this would
be a good starting point.

Cheers,

Re: MI Calls to kernel.exe

1999-12-20 Thread Chris Martin

Isn't it Kernel32.dll? You must have it somewhere because the Kernel
is the part that links your OS to your hardware - it not optional.
