MI export text from layout...
Hi community, We did our legend directly from our layout. Those legend have a lot of text in it and we now need those legend in a freehand document. I'm using mapublisher to import my mapinfo table into freehand and it's working fine. My problem is that i can't get the text from my layout and import it to freehand as an editable object not as an image. Is there a solution. Thanks. __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Street number in geocoding - MI5.5
Ian, Something I don't understand is why you have your addresses broken down into separate columns. MI will geocode if all the address information is in the same column.. I have had success using that method. Perhaps someone else will have a more thorough idea of your plight. For me, to have it all in one column works quite well, as you need. Good luck! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2000 4:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Street number in geocoding - MI5.5 I've got a novice question about interactive geocoding, and I don't see a clue in the Mapinfo Professional 5.5 manual: Would someone please tell me 1) what, if anything, controls the fields which are displayed during interactive geocoding, 2) and how I can control that function? Details: I'm geocoding a file of ticket pass outlets, against a map file of San Antonio streets (Bexardsl.TAB if you're interested). Each street is represented by several segments. In the file to geocode, street number is in the 2nd column and street name is in the 3rd column. In the map file (Bexardsl.tab), street name is in a column separated from (four) odd and even street number columns (left and right sides: leftadd1, leftadd2, rightadd1, rightadd2.)

It's just displaying "Fredericksburg Road" twenty times and not "2000 Fredericksburg Road" "3000 Fredericksburs Road" etc. Naturally I have problems picking out the correct segment of Fredericksburg Road. Or any other street or road. I CAN arbitrarily pick one from the display, let it run to the end, then click-and-drag to move my map pin; but there are a lot of points to deal with, and with this non-solution the initial geocoding errors are easily several miles.

RE: Street number in geocoding - MI5.5
Nathaniel - Thanks, I got another reply to the same effect. Actually, "why" is that I inherited both files from other folks; and thought that if the map file carried addresses separate, and was supposedly made for Mapinfo (bought from a service by VIA and the MPO) , then the file to be geocoded could have a similar structure. I'd think that such parameters for a usable file would be in the manual. But, of course, not. Ian -Original Message- From: Trammell, Nathaniel A.

MI Sliver Tool
Hello, I am interested in finding out if anyone knows of a tool to help in the management of slivers. I am looking for something that at the very least allows you to set a sliver size and have MapInfo automatically merge polygons of that size or smaller with a polygon that is adjacent. In most cases it wouldn't matter which polygon it chose, as the sliver size will generally be very small. Ideally the tool would allow you to choose between 3 options - delete the polygons, resymbolize the polygons and merge the polygons. Any help would be appreciated.

MI Interstate and Route Shield Dilemma
I am attempting to create a regional map of the Southeastern United States. I would like to include multiple layers including the Route and Interstate Shields. My dilemma is, the default for Autoloader places Route and Interstate Shields for every county as the default. This is fine for a small region, but when the scale is for a much larger region, the map becomes very cluttered in almost unreadable. Does anyone know of a way to eliminate a number of these shields (i.e. MapBasic). I know you can eliminate these shields individually with the Shield Manager but this is a long process.

MI: MB: Line Intersection MapBasic App
I have uploaded a line intersection MapBasic app to the Directions Magazine site at the following link. http://www.directionsmag.com/tools/default.asp?a=downloadfilename=IntPn tTab.zipid=248 This program will create a point table of the intersecting points of two line or polyline tables. If any segment in the first table intersects any segment in the second table, then a point will be placed at that intersection. In addition, text from a specified fields from both tables will be placed in the resultant table to identify the point. Additionally, the program will not add a point where the text values for each segment are the same. This condition is in place so only intersections of roads with different names will get a point. The source code is included. Peer review and feedback are encouraged.

Dear Mappers: Our firm is preparing a quote for a few studies in San Salvador that requires detailed street data.

We want to export the map at twice that size (86x69 inches) and drop it into an HTML doc that has an image that's 43x34.5 to retain as much of the original image resolution.

MI MB: Call dll with a 4Bytes float instead of 8Bytes float?
In MapBasic I declare the following external function : Declare Function getnodevalue Lib "SomeoneDll.dll" (ByVal Index As Integer, ByVal Code As Integer, Value As Float) As Integer and define the following constant Define EN_PRESSURE 7 when I call the Function with myopen = getnodevalue( nodeindex, EN_PRESSURE, pressure) It returns wrong values. The same code works perfectly in Visual Basic except the dll is declared: Declare Function getnodevalue Lib "SomeoneDll.dll" (ByVal Index As Integer, ByVal Code As Integer, Value As Single) As Integer I suppose that the problem comes from the fact that in MapBasic the type "float" is coded with 8 Bytes while a type "Single" is coded in 4 Bytes. I do not know how to change the type of the variable Value in Mapinfo to pass a 4Bytes coded float. Any body knows? Please reply directly...

SUM: MI Can MapBasic call routines in ActiveX DLLs?
The question was: "...can you make ActiveX DLLs that can contain functions and subprograms that can be called from MapInfo [via MapBasic] like you can with the earlier style DLLs?" The answer is: "No." Some people confused Windows API functions with ActiveX DLLs, but in fact, these are regular DLLs, and so can be used directly in MapBasic. However, you CAN make a resource DLL to provide tool button icons to your MapBasic app (See Chris Martin's Feb 1st, 2000 summary on this, "Re: MI Resource Files/DLLs - summary") For those who want the dirty details, Chris Martin explained that the new VB5/6 DLLs are ActiveX DLLs or COM Servers. Basically, this means that if your development language isn't COM compliant, you lose. Access to ActiveX functions require COM support which is what makes them "visible" to an application, and MapBasic is not COM compliant. Chris also mentioned that there may be ways around this, but they would involve some sort of bridge written in C++ that serves as an interface to your app. He also thought that Desaware's SpyWorks may be useful here. He adds: "In normal DLL's an Export Table is generated where all public function names and their parameters are written. Any program can then import that library (that's what you do when you DECLARE an api function) and use its functions. Unfortunately, as VB DLL's are COM servers, the only functions that they export are to register and un register the server. There's no other functionality you can access." Brad Matthews added: "VB created ActiveX DLLs (and ActiveX EXEs) can be used by any other language which supports the COM interface (C++, Powerbuilder, Delphi, VBA, ASP). MapBasic does not support the COM interface." Richard Burkmar added some interesting perspective by pointing out that the main issue is that MapBasic is not COM-compliant, and that the future is with development tools that are; like MapX. He says: "The Component Object Model (COM) is central to the Microsoft Windows environment and there probably isn't much of a future for development environments which don't support it. Nowadays, most do - for example any development environment in which you can incorporate a MapX map is COM compliant. MapX exposes its functionality as a COM component - if it didn't it wouldn't have got off the ground." In addition to Chris, Brad and Richard, thanks also to Mark Crompton, Brad Matthews, "MAPPER MAN", "Geografía y Electrónica, SA de CV", and David Troughear for their responses. - Bill Thoen -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
