MI Suggestions for Text in a Demo
Greetings, I've got the main part of my code working properly and would now like to create a demo. The demo will have a number of text boxes that come up at each step to explain what is happening. For example: Text Box: "In the next step we overlay a grid on the map." MapInfo: (remove text box and load grid table) New Text Box: "The program now appropriately colors each cell of the grid." MapInfo: (remove text box and run the code to color the cells of the grid) And so on. I can create a table for each text box, but that seems wasteful. Is there a better way to put all the text boxes into a single table and then control which ones are visible through MB? I'd also like to insert arrows at various points that point from the text box to items of interest. This is probably easy, but I haven't done any work with text at all, and probably just need to be steered in the right direction.

MI Pro - Custom Symbols Problems
I am having some trouble with custom symbols under MapInfo 5.0. The setup is MapInfo Pro 5.0 Server Installation and then client installs on machines that will will be using MapInfo Pro. The application directory is G:\MapInfo\ where G: is a mapped network drive on an uncompressed NTFS partition. I have tried to load the Custom Symbols with the following command: reload custom symbols from "g:\mapinfo\custsymb" but I get the error : --- Cannot access file CUSTSYMB for reading. Please be sure that this file is not open in another application. Retry Cancel The sub directory exists, it is where my Custom Symbols are, and the symbols that reside there all conform to the size and colour depth rules (256 colour bitmap under 128k for the 32 bit version). The strange part is that they appeared there yesterday but now they will not load. In fact, when you open the Custom Symbols font it only has the N which means that none of the symbols, including the MapInfo standard ones, are available.

MI Custom Symbols
Hello Group I am creating my own custom symbols and everything is good until I have to scale these symbols down to around sizes 3 and 2 as they become distorted. I have saved my bmp as a 16 bit through Microsoft paint which is in my opinion the problem as Paint works in small square pixels and dose not give me the save as 32bit option. I would like to know how others are creating custom symbols especially circles and what software they are using to make MapInfo read them.

Yannick, This looks like RTF or some other kind of formatted text. It is what happens when one edits a workspace in a word processor, rather than a text editor!

Hi Elliot! My suggestion is that you create a standard symbol, maybe a basic dot or square and then make a thematic template for the advanced display you want to create. This is much simpler and much more flexible, since a change in the numbers will be immediately visible. Also, cartography can easily be adapted for different purposes simply by changing or editing the template.

Suggestions for Text in MI Demo?
Greetings, I've got the main part of my code working properly and would now like to create a demo. The demo will have a number of text boxes that come up at each step to explain what is happening. For example: Text Box: "In the next step we overlay a grid on the map." MapInfo: (remove text box and load grid table) New Text Box: "The program now appropriately colors each cell of the grid." MapInfo: (remove text box and run the code to color the cells of the grid) And so on. I can create a table for each text box, but that seems wasteful. Is there a better way to put all the text boxes into a single table and then control which ones are visible through MB? I'd also like to insert arrows at various points that point from the text box to items of interest. This is probably easy, but I haven't done any work with text at all, and probably just need to be steered in the right direction.

RE: MI ordering items in the legend
Tim,
I find the easiest way is to save your workspace, then open the .WOR file
with notepad or other editor and edit the cartographic legend section. If
you use Search:Find carto, this will take you to the top of the legend
section. Then you can reorder the frames by simply cutting and pasting. A
good tip is to keep a copy of the .WOR file in case you create an error,
then you can always start again. Here's an extract from a .WOR to
illustrate :
<<
Create Cartographic Legend
Position (5.79167,0.375) Units "in"
Width 2.8 Units "in" Height 5 Units "in"
Window Title "Legend:2"
Portrait
Default Frame Title "# Legend" Font ("Arial",0,10,0)
Default Frame Style "%" Font ("Arial",0,8,0)
Frame From Layer 4
Border Pen (0,1,0)
Title ""
Using Column object
Style Font ("Arial",0,8,0)
Text "Martin Grant Homes Land Holding" Region Pen (2,2,16728064)
Brush (1,0,16777215)
Frame From Layer 3
Border Pen (0,1,0)
Title ""
Using Column object
Style Font ("Arial",0,8,0)
Text "Wates Land Holding" Region Pen (2,2,7381247) Brush
(1,0,16777215)
Frame From Layer 12
Border Pen (0,1,0)
Title ""
Using Column object
Style Font ("Arial",0,8,0)
Text "Housing Sites (Net)" Region Pen (1,2,0) Brush
(2,16770192,16777215)
you want to bodily select and reshuffle the blocks of text commencing
"Frame from layer." and ending with Text "
Save the .WOR in it's new form and everything should be fine.
Hope this helps,
Andy Beckett

Re: MI Voronoi Polygons
Eric, If you can wait for one more week or so. We will start Beta testing our triangulation toolkit. This MapInfo plugin will offer the following functionalities: - Fast Delaunay triangulation - Contour creation (both lines and surfaces) - Interpolation to MapInfo grids and... - The creation of Voronoy polygons (also fast :) If you want I could sign you up as a beta tester. Just out of curiosity... how large are the datasets for which you want to create Voronoy polygons?

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 12:01 AM Subject: MI Voronoi Polygons Hi Folks: I'm sure I used to have a tool that would create voronoi polygons but I seem to have misplaced it! As I remember, it was very slow, but gave you an option to put in a maximum radius---so that a store with no other store within a few miles could just appear as a circle with 2 mile radius for instance... Any ideas? Thanks! Eric
