Greetings, List I need some articles about error sources, types and error information in gis concept. This articles may be about specific projects like land use or gps, or general information about gis tools. If there is someone out there can direct me any web site or any other kind of source that covers a considerable information about the errors , it will be very helpfull to me. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MI Using custom fonts in mapinfo V5
Hi Mappers, I have managed to obtain the font set for the greenmap symbols. They are a truetype font. What is the procedure for mapinfo to register this new font set as a symbol set. Currently they are not recognised as a symbol set, only as letters. The best of the season to all.

Re: MI MapBasic Utilitiy Tool
Hi It's not a problem. There is CogoLinm from Juan Pufleau [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://members.xoom.com/geosoft99/gis/util/cogolinm.zip But more usefull COGO.MBX is shareware on http://www.GreenwoodMap.com If you have MapBasic - seek in samples code of Cogoline and change it as you want.

Re: MI Dot Density custom symbols
What you may do is: Add 10 fields to planning district that stores the total number of clients in each program. Now you can create a pie chart or bar chart to show the numbers for each zone in each program. -- Rajeev saraf -Original Message- From: W.

I have about 8000 addresses that I have geocoded in St. Paul, MN. Most of them are clustered in certain parts of the city. My boss wants one, and only one, map that shows where the clients live what type of program they are involved in and where the programs are located in the city. There are approximately 70 programs. I tried individual values but the map is not legible. Even if I collapse the programs down to 10 with ten corresponding symbols that are legible, the addresses are so close together in certain areas that the symbols would be illegible. (If I had a large format plotter, this might not be a problem, but the best I can do is 11x17.) I liked the look of the dot density maps. It provided a good graphical shot of what part of the city our clients come from. Now the question. How can I combine the best of individual value with the dispersed representation of dot density? And as long as I'm asking for the moon, how can I ensure that they don't overlap with each other? The final product would look something like this; a map of the city with planning districts (17), within each planning district a certain number of circles, squares, stars etc, representing the corresponding number of clients in a particular program. Negative responses appreciated as well, so I can start trying to figure out a different strategy. Respectfully submitted, Kent -- W. Kent Treichel Wilder Research Center 1295 Bandana Blvd N.

Re: MI Dot Density custom symbols
Frankly, I'd go for bar charts: multiple pie charts are very difficult for end-users (particularly bosses who want the impossible) to visualise. Kent: you have my sympathies: I, too, have a boss who has unworkable ideas quite often, and I reckon that the first thing I routinely say when he comes up with a new demand is "it can't be done: what is the simplest diagram/map/graphic we can get away with?" and we negotiate from there. He gets what he wants, rather than what he asks for! Many managers are unaware that the sheer quantity and density of data they demand means that the data are not translated - nor translatable - into meaningful, useful information. This is particularly true of maps, which can be very opaque to the unsophisticated reader, despite the intuitive grasp of the concept of a map that most people have, or think they have. Not much help with the problem, but maybe a strategy for the future! Another possible avenue ... how about using a data-simplification technique in a stats package (I use SPSS) such as factor analysis to tease out three underlying factors (call them Factors A, B C) that may be used to explain the multiplicity of variables you have. Each subject will have a value of 0.0 - 1.0 for each of the three factors: colour each point marker with RGB according to the three factors: red component for factor A, green component for factor B and blue component for factor C. For a legend, use the 3 'pure' colours and the 3 complementary colours. You'd need to use MapBasic, but that should be easy enough. It's just a thought - I've never actually tried it. If it works, I quite fancy having a technique named after me - it would impress my kids no end Season's greetings to all Graham O'Brien! - Original Message - From: Dr Rajeev saraf [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: W.
