Re: MI Latvian maps

[Cliff Mugnier]

Gustaf,

The Old Latvian Grids were four different Cassini-Soldners: West, West
Central, East Central, and East.  The only Gauss-Kruger Grids used in the
area (that overlapped Latvia) that I am familiar with are the Lithuanian
Belts.  Send me more information, and maybe I can help a bit more.

MI Summary: Splitting Polylines

[Duncan Hendricks]

About a week ago I requested any information on an easy way to split
polylines in MapInfo. More specifically, I was hoping someone had a tool
that would allow the user to select a node from a line and then split the
polyline based on this selected node.

Trey Pattillo and Jacques Paris (not surprising really!) both sent me copies
of tools they had developed for doing that task. Both work very well, and I
would recommend them to anyone that has to split a lot of polylines.

Thanks for all of the responses.

MI SUM WOR Print Outs

[Dyan Catamaran]

Here is the SUM about this issue (Workspace print outs)



1)

The reason I want to print from a command line is to avoid to open every single 
workspace. I have about 400 wor files for different projects.

From:   <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

You might try creating a print file for each workspace (select print to 
file).  This will create a prn file that you can then use in a DOS batch file 
which simply says 'print .  Once the batch file is created 
you only need to ensure the printer has sufficient paper and your off!

2)

Unfortunately I don't have Mapbasic

From:   "Eric Frost / HR and Associates, Inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

you can do it easily with mapbasic..

err, a few tricks.

what are their names? are they irregular?

you could
1) paste the names all into a string array in MB
2) read them from a file you create with dir /b
3) if it is easy to generate the names in a loop like
MyWorksp1.Wor, MyWorksp2.Wor you can
just create the names on the fly...

Then in a loop do:

Run Application szWorksp(i)
Print ...
Close All

(check Mapbasic help for details)

Also, the Layout you want to print has to be the
front window when you open it..(I think this
might be automatic if you have just one layout)

Make sure you have the default printer set the
way you want it...depending on the version of
MI the printer can be set in the workspace..

that's about it. I'd estimate it would take 1-2 hours
to set up if you have some basic programming
experience but need to look up the MB stuff...

good luck!

3)

From:   jchgis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

If your workspaces have the window you wish to print at the top (either map or layout 
window) you may set up your printer to spec, open MapBasic window in mapinfo and enter 
something like:

Run Application "C:\your project.wor"
PrintWin
Close All Interactive

If you have a list of workspaces, it is easy to add the "Run App... etc" in a text 
editor. Select all your commands in the MapBasic window, and press enter... Should run 
overnight (if the
printer does not choke).


4)
From:   Martin Roundill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


There are different ways you can do this.

One simple way is to create a textfile called (for example)
Print_All_Maps.wor

In the text file create a line for each workspace file (a good text editor
will help here) with the following commands:

Run Application "c:\pathtofiles\Workspacefile1.wor" Printwin close all
Run Application "c:\pathtofiles\Workspacefile2.wor" Printwin close all
Run Application "c:\pathtofiles\Workspacefile3.wor" Printwin close all
Run Application "c:\pathtofiles\Workspacefile4.wor" Printwin close all
Run Application "c:\pathtofiles\Workspacefile5.wor" Printwin close all
. etc

This assumes the following:  The workspace file always leaves the map or
layout window as the front window and that the printer and paper size are
correctly set.  (I don't use version 5.5 so am not sure how the printer
setting work for the 5.5 workspace files)
To run this you set the printer and paper size and then open the
Print_all_maps.wor file.


An alternative is to add the command Printwin and close all to the end of
the workspace files themselves.  This would mean that the workspace file
would open print the map and then close.  Then just open each workspace
file.

Hope this helps

Martin

MI PDF Print outs

[Dyan Catamaran]

I would like to thanks to all that answered my inquire about this issue. I got a 
handful of replies here is the SUM:



1 ) this doesn't work. I had tried before.

From:   John Maguire <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
If you can connect your printer  to LPT 1 you can simply use the command line in
DOS to copy your file to LPT1.
This works realy well with .PRN files and should work for .PDF
C:\copy "type full path name and file name (keep  file names to less than 8
charachters )" LPT1.
Hope this helps.

John

2 )
From:   "Leduc, Yannick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I don't know about DOS commands, but you could select your PDF files
in Windows Explorer and drag'n'drop them in your printer, under the printer
setting window. Acrobat will open by itself and print your document.

It worth a try, good luck!

Yannick


3 ) NOTE: each one is about 6 MB and I have about 200 PDF files

From:   "Peter Graham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

You could try e-mailing them to yourself as attachments and then select the
print attachments option when you want to print them all out?


Regards
Peter Graham

4 )
From:   "jw&a inc." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

if they're in the same folder, you can shift click them, right click them
and select print from the popup menu. you can't do too many at once, though,
because you run out of dde channels. maybe 25 at a time or so.


5 )
From:   "Blair, Sylvia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


You can multi-select the files in Windows Explorer. Right click and select
"print".  This solution opens the associated application but doesn't display
the files.  All files will be printed without further user intervention.


Thank again for spending your time helping me.

Re: Label From Multiple Fields in MI

[Severin Roberts]

Kris,  
there are two good ways to get at this.  First, open
multiple copies of the table in your map window and set the
labeling preferences to allow room for all the lables--One
set of info above the centroid, one on the centroid, one
below.

Also, you can write an expression from the Layer Control,
Label button.
I wrote this piece to have the data run in a single line.

Zipcode+", "+Pop90+", "+Pop98+", "+Pop03

Good luck

SUM MI table Structure

[Brendan . O'Donovan]

Hello
Sheila, Mark, Laurence, Anton, Andy and Tim

Thank you all for your suggestions, they fall into two categories
Sheila's and
everyone else's.
I used Sheila's immediately, it was
join your original tables to another table with the table structure you
desire using Query SQL
once I remembered to make the table containing the structure I desired
(table A) un mappable so that the entities in the table coming from the dxf
(table B) did not get lost, this method worked very well with the added
advantage that the fields in the query were filled with the values in table
A.  This added bonus of the "Sheila" method saved Table Update Column work
as well.
I then tried the Mark Laurence Anton Andy and Tim method
Having never used the Mapbasic window before, I was gratified to see how
well it worked, doubtless with more experience I could
make the Mapbasic window method do the field filling as well.

My gratitude to you all

Brendan O'Donovan Snr Geologist, Tara Mines, Ireland.

MI: Locking frame content in layout: Possible?

[JFLépine]

Hi,
 
Is there a way to eliminate refreshing of a 
layout frame content? I have a map that I want to show on a layout. Once 
displayed, I don't want the content to move while I'm panning/zooming/resizing 
the mapper with which it is associated.
 
Is there a MB procedure to solve this problem or 
do I have to create a workspace to ensure that I can keep the view I want 
safe?
 
Thanks in advance for your answers,

RE: MI Opening HTML pages within MapInfo

[James Marlow]

Hi 
Graham
 
Well, 
you are going down the right track (does that translate to the Queen's English?) 
with the HTML output - it's a great way to make report. VB, however, will not do 
the job for dll's - it produces ActiveX dll's which are not the same as a 
standard dll - and MB requires a standard dll. You have a couple of 
options:
 
1) Use 
Delphi (or Visual C++ if you have a someone who codes in it) to write the dll. 
Delphi is rather similar to VB (the language is Pascal instead of BASIC) but it 
has the capability to write true dll's. It also includes an HTML viewer control 
so you could actually just pop up a window or dialog containing the report 
output - a potentially neater solution than spawning another copy of a web 
browser. Delphi is relatively inexpensive, fairly easy to learn, and there are 
examples out there of making it work with Mapinfo - check out the White 
Papers section of http://www.directionsmag.com for some 
samples and instructions.
 
2) If 
you must program in BASIC then check out PowerBasic at http://www.powerbasic.com - it's not a true 
visual development environment (although it does have a GUI builder that does a 
lot) but it _does_ produce true dll's. It's also a pretty good development 
environment and it's output is blindingly fast at a lot of things. Programs 
written in PowerBasic frequently run rings around similar code written in Visual 
Basic. I personally prefer Delphi, but that's because I learned Pascal a long 
time ago and then I was developing MB dll's in Delphi long before I ever heard 
of PowerBasic.
 
3) I 
_think_ you can issue a command through MB to start an external program - and 
you _might_ be able to do this with either Internet Explorer or Netscape 
Navigator. However, this is not exactly the best solution out there and it is 
klunky at best).
 
Good 
luck!

Hi all
there is a slightly easier way of doing this. If you look at the bottom on
the left hand side of the mapinfo window there is a box with "Zoom
,numbers>" in it and there is a little blavk arrow head next to it. Click on
the arrowhead and you can select either zoom level, map scale or curser
location. The relevant figures will tehn be displayed

RE: Label From Multiple Fields in MI

[A. T. Beckett]

Hi,

This is quite straightforward, in Layer Control, select the layer of 
interest, click the "Label" button, choose Label with : Expression, enter 
an expression like this example :

"Region: "+Region+Chr$(13)+hect+" ha"+Chr$(13)+acre+" ac"

This produces the following label on the map

Region: MGa
  8.335 ha
 20.595 ac

Region, hect and acre are three columns in my table, Chr$(13) gives a new 
line, free text must be in quotes eg. "Region : "," ha"," ac"

In MapBasic :  Set Map Layer 1 Label With "Region: "+Region+Chr$(13)+hect+" 
ha"+Chr$(13)+acre+" ac"

Hope this helps.

MI Friday Humor: Driving Along and Latest Darwin's . . .

[John Hoffmann]

Driving Along
=

A young couple drove several miles down a country road, not saying a
word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument, and neither wanted
to concede their position.

As they passed a barnyard of mules and pigs, the husband sarcastically
asked, "Are they relatives of yours?"

"Yes," his wife replied. "I married into the family."



Darwin Award Candidates
===

"The stupidity of the human race never fails to surprise me."
 --Charles Darwin 

(22 February 2000, New York) A man clearing timber from his lot in 
Chestnuthill Township failed to notice that the tree he was working 
on had others leaning against it. When the weight of its neighbors 
pushed the tree over in the expected direction, the erstwhile 
lumberjack ran for his life, but slipped in the icy snow and fell 
directly in the path of the looming trunk, which landed on him with 
the expected result. 


(1 January 2000, Nevada) 26-year-old Tod made a place for himself in 
history by being the first person to die celebrating the millennium. 
Minutes before midnight, the Stanford graduate climbed to the top of 
a street light in front of the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and waved to the 
enthusiastic revelers below. At midnight he slipped and, in an effort 
to break his fall, grabbed the wires that were supplying the 
electricity to the street light. Suddenly he was conducting more than 
a cheering crowd. A camera caught his foolhardy climb and subsequent 
headfirst plunge to the concrete below. It has not yet been determined 
whether he died from electrocution or from the 30-foot fall, but 
either way, he deserves the first Darwin Award of the new millennium!
Footnote: Tod was a Stanford graduate working at a Silicon Valley 
startup scheduled to go public in the summer. He stood to make a 
substantial profit with his options, until they were voided by his 
untimely death. Clearly, a sterling academic pedigree is no indication 
of common sense. Before leaving to Vegas, one friend said, "People are
going to be doing crazy things. Be careful." Tod replied, "You know 
I won't." Friends pondering his death said, "He thought he was 
invincible." "He used to climb the Golden Gate Bridge." "He would 
never do something stupid."

(11 March 2000, Perth, Australia) It just stands to reason, one 
should follow safe practices while filming a safety video. But Peter, 
the 52-year-old owner of a machinery and equipment training school, 
violated that rule of common sense while filming a forklift safety 
demonstration. With the cameras rolling, he was thrown from the cabin 
of his forklift and crushed. Subsequent investigation revealed the 
culprits responsible for the fatality: driver error and high speed 
over varied terrain, coupled with an unused seat belt. His final 
safety demonstration was the most convincing of his career.

[Jacques Paris]

I became curious about that "CREATE TEXT" behaviour and I tried to find the
conditions of use of that way to handle bigger text boxes. I found some
interesting things.

1 - in the MB command description, MI states that the text string should be
255 character long maxi. But if you enter a longer string in the text box
requester, it will be chopped down to 258 characters.

2 - text is stored in 254 character blocks; a string can be broken in blocks
joined by +  ("block 1"+"block2").

3 - the maximum number of "positions" acceptable by that statement in 500

4 - the number of usable characters is equal to 500 - the number of blocks
and - the number of format characters.

5 - format characters are essentially '\n' used within the text for a new
line ("bablabla\nboobooboo", or 'chr$(10)' used between blocks and +
("block1"+chr$(10)+"block2"). The first solution requires less 'usable
positions' than the second one.

These considerations apply to the use of that statement in MB programs, in
the MBWindow or in WOR.

Warning : if you create a text longer that the 'basic' 258 and if you decide
to activate the text box by a double click, the text will be chopped to down
to 258.

Conclusion : as the only formatting capability is a "new line" command, as
it requires lots of shaping up of the text like introducing "new lines",
breaking into blocks, managing the number of usable characters, as it is
relatively unstable, I do not find that using the create text is a
particularly effective solution in adding "general" text of a substantial
length from an outside source.

Additional Text:

For those that don't know you can actually get the layout to contain a block
of text that is longer than you can manually enter in the text box.  This is
achieved by editing the workspace file directly.  I haven't sat down to
count but I think the test box lets you enter around 300 characters by
editing the workspace file you can extend it to around 410 characters.
Useful if you just about fit everything in and don't want to mess around
aligning another text box.

Another strange but true fact.

regards

Martin

Just like James, the powerpoint option is the one i have been using for a
while now, and i am very satisfied with the  results. All my layouts are
done with it!

Re: MI Opening HTML pages within MapInfo

[Graham Smith]

 
I've seen these programs where you can click on 
a map object and it links to a url. What we really want to do is write html to a 
file from within an MBX to create a formatted report (that's the easy bit!), 
then to open that html page in a web browser without having to exit the MapBasic 
application - in other words, once the file is written, not have to manually go 
into Explorer to view the report. We wrote a short DLL in Visual Basic and have 
tried calling this, but with no success (VB skills not too hot!).

MI Latvian maps

[Gustaf Svedjemo]

I have in my hand a latvian map made in 1993 (scale 1:200.000) marked "Latvija 
karte 1993". It shows all of Latvia making it rather big. The information only 
states that it is in some Gauss (gausa) Conformal projection (I think, my 
Latvian is rather poor!). The grids are in lat/long. Does any body now anything 
about the Latvian maps from that period. As I understand it the Latvians now 
use some The UTM system based on the GRS 80 elipsoid and the old Russian maps 
used the Pulkovo 1942 coordinat system. But this one?

MI adjust colors???

[Haavard Bogh-Olsen]

hello

When I make thematic maps..with for example solid blue..from light to dark, 
the colored regions consist of awful lot of small pixels, the colored 
surfaces are not clean colored.  I have tried to use the custom color 
command to erase the pixels, but then I end up with only one brightness of 
blue.

Can somebody help?

MI MapInfo 5.5 and DLL functions

[James McCormick]

Hi List,

I have compiled a mbx which has function calls to certain windows system
DLLs.
These calls are to the "GetUserNameA" function in the "advapi32.dll" and
the "GetComputerNameA" function in the "kernel32" library.

Compiled in MapBasic 4.5 and running in the MapInfo 4.5 to 5.0
environments, these
calls work.  However running in the MapInfo 5.5 environment these calls
chop the computer and user names down to 7 characters.

Is there a problem and fix for the way MI 5.5 handles some DLLs, or am I
the only one with these problems.

MI MapXtreme - Unsupported Screen Depth

[Maneesh]

Hi List,
 
This problem refers to the use of MapXtreme to 
display simple maps on the client's side. 
 
After initialisation of map engine, creating 
wrapper objects, creating map objects when we come to creation of unique file 
name with .gif extension and than with the ExportMapToTitle, Mapxtreme Image Renderer object is to be created. 

 
But when the render method is called the server is 
giving error as "unsupported screen depth" and hence it is creating a 0 KB 
file.
Because of this when we try to write the image into 
a file using tofile() method, it is giving error as 
java.io.eof.exception
 
Thanks,
 
Maneesh
 
 

MI General Maps of Ireland, Archaeology

Bryan,

About two years ago, Duchas, The Heritage Service, did supply as e00
format, maps of NHA's, SPA's and SAC's, some of which are so designated
because of archaeological interest.  These are regions. The Duchas web site
is www.heritageireland.ie, email is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Duchas data is (or at least was) free.
The OSI (Ordnance of Ireland) sell, digital vector maps, a layer of which,
is termed Antiquities which are, in the main, features of archaeological
interest.

Hope this helps

Re: MI MapExtreme - cannot export Gif format.

[LVN]

Roeland et.al.,

Is this how UniSys' LZW (i.e. GIF) license requirement works ?!

I've always thought that the builder of the GIF handling routines, i.e.
MapInfo Corp.,
paid the license with rights to distribute. And as long as you only used
the written
routines, you were covered by that license.

Am I completely wrong here, and missing something important ?

Btw: I've never encountered such a setup question in the NT version.
Are you using MXT/Java ?

Mazuaz,

If I recall correctly, you must explicitly state that you want to convert
maps to GIFS during the MapExtreme setup. This is because the GIF format is
copyright protected and you are required to pay your dues. If you ommit
this
the GIF format is not available.

MI Friday funnies

[Sarah . Myers]

A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday
morning. He said "Today, Church, I am going to say a single word and you are
going to help me preach. Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing
whatever hymn that comes to your mind."

The pastor shouted out, "Cross."
Immediately the congregation started singing in unison "The Old Rugged Cross."

The Pastor hollered out "Grace."
The congregation began to sing "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound."

The Pastor said "Power."
The congregation sang "There is Power in the Blood."

The Pastor said "Sex."
The congregation fell in total silence. Everyone was in shock. They all
nervously began
to look around at each other afraid to say anything. Then all of a sudden way
from in
the back of the church a little old 87 year old grandmother stood up and began
to sing
"Precious Memories"
