MI Geo-locating aerial photos
Gidday, Total amateur requires advice with forest mapping application. I have property boundaries well located into a table from a topographical map and now need to map the corresponding plantation region from an aerial photograph. When I register the digitised aerial image, some error in relation to the location of the boundaries from the topo occurs; which I assume is related to radial displacement in the contact image. Can I force the aerial image to match the topo boundaries by modifying the control points for the raster, without introducing significant additional error via the altered relative positions of the control points? Or should I accept the discrepancy and attempt to sketch the area by hand (as opposed to tracing - if the aerial image sat properly!)? Constructive comments will be most appreciated.

Re: Overlapping polygons in MI table
One way I use in finding the overlaps is too produce a small program which
loops around all the polygons executing the following
if Map.Eval( 'oObject1 intersects oObject2') = 'T' then
{do something}
and then to remove the overlap use:
Map.Do('Eraseobj = erase(oObject1,oObject2)')
ps don`t forget to save the new polygons using the rowid.
I hope this helps

MI MapInfo Oracle 816
Gentlemen, Thank you for your replies. They are appreciated. Thus far I have determined that you can use MIPro 5.5 if you do not convert the data sets to 8.2 and DO install the scripts to keep the user schema "sdo_geom_metadata" up to date. However, if you do any processing on Oracle, the results will not be compatible with MI5.5. I also agree that easyloader 4.3 will not upload to Oracle 8.2. I wonder when MI will upgrade it to Oracle 8.2 (MI Tech Support - You listening???). I am now working with MIPro6beta Oracle 8.2. I discovered that although Oracle says you that can upgrade from 8.1.5 to 8.2, it is better to exp the db, drop it and create a new 8.2 instance and db. The updated db crashes the client and generates a core dump when executing complex custom oracle procedures with embedded SDO commands. These procedures worked fine in 8.1.5 and required several minor changes for 8.2. Oracle actually seemed to work better with an 8.0.5 client than with a 8.1.5 or 8.1.6 client. Ah, the wonderful world of Oracle... Other than this discussion list, MapInfo's web site has next to no technical resources on MI-Oracle issues. Oracle's web site is huge, cumbersome and also has very little on Spatial. Would either of you know if there are other MIPro - Oracle Spatial specific resources, out there? If so, where? If not, maybe we could start one??? Your thoughts?

MI: New info and a tool for MI Tab file format explorers
As an aid to those exploring the MapInfo "tab/dat/id/map" and "mid/map" definitions, I have updated the "map" specifications I uploaded to our web site a few weeks ago. The URL for that information is http://members.aol.com/MapToolsCompany/tabdef.txt Also, I created a little Windows program (using Delphi) that will dump out the "map" header and the spatial objects for a set of MapInfo "tab/dat/id/map" files, and it will dump the "map" file definition corresponding to a "mid/map" pair. The URL for that little "exploring" program is ftp://members.aol.com/MapToolsCompany/dbgis.zip The program is intended as a aid to learning about how minimum bounding rectangles are handled, viewing the internal definitions of symbol and font styles, etc. Be sure to read the "Notes" when you run the program.

MI labels appear offset
Listers, Just wondering if anyone's seen this before. I need to label some index contours, and have tried a few different methods including using MI's Label tool, and also the Labeller.mbx, but I get the following problem with both methods. Even though in the map window a label (5 pt, Arial, bold, with box) may appear exactly centred on a contour line (at any zoom level), when I look at the label in the layout window and on the hardcopy (36"x44" map at 1:24,000) some, but not all, are offset by several mm's from the index contour. Unfortunately this drops it on top of the adjacent intermediate contours. I can get this effect on both 5.0 and on the 6.0 beta. Any ideas what might be causing this?

MI SUM BIG North Arrows
Many thanks to all who replied. It seems there are a couple of ways to approach this. 1. Find the arrow in the workspace and manually change the point size - the new upper limit becomes 720 pt, unless that was a typo and should have been 72 pt. The latter was big enough for me. 2. Yannick Leduc and Tim Nuteson suggested another route (quote is from Tim N.): "The trick to getting around this Mapinfo problem is to add the north arrows as text instead of symbols. For example, to add a big compass-rose type arrow, go into the layout, type an exclamation point. Then, double-click and change its font to Mapinfo Arrows. Change its size, color, etc. to what you need. To see which arrows correspond to which keystrokes, check out Start-Programs-Accessories-Character Map for the MI Arrows font." 3. A third method is to use a map window containing a nice north arrow and put it in your layout inside a frame. Jason Adam, Leith Britt and Edward Davis sent me some pre-made .tab files containing lots of nice examples. I'll forward it to anyone who's interested. Thanks again everyone. _ Tim Warman Geologist GIS Specialist Richard C.

MI SUM: GIS and Secondary Schools

Thank yous go to Brian Cooper for pointing me to http://www.greenmap.com/ , Ian Johnson for his easy-to-understand definition of a GIS in "Understanding MapInfo" and to Robert Crossley for his advice and contacts that he sent me. One thing I did find was that 3d visualisations made it very easy for me to explain the fundamentals of topography and catchments to the students and that 65mins is not long enough.

Hi Adrian To open Mr Sid files in MapInfo you need to do the following (assuming you have already installed the Mr Sid extension from www.lizradtech.com) File open Select "Raster" Navigate to the appropriate folder Type *.sid and hit "Enter" All the Mr Sid format files will appear Select the one you want and double click It should open and be geo-referenced If you want to produce a TAB or TFW file, open the Mr Sid image in the stand alone Mr Sid viewer and export as a TIF file - it will also produce the TAB and TFW files (and a image file 10 to 20 times larger!)

MI Constant Layer control
Hi all, I am looking for a little mbx or other type of program that will provide a Layer Control that will sit beside some maps that I want to display, much like the Arc/View theme manager. Currently I have to, like every body else :-), right click on the map, and make invisible the layer that I do not want displayed any more, thus making the one below visible. I want to be able to have one mapper window and be able to turn off successive layers, from top to bottom, and show different thematic maps as I present information contained within. I cannot think of any way to do this from within MapInfo Pro apart from having this little toolbar-esque Layer Control. I have searched high and low for a tool that will accomplish this but I cannot find one. I am also open to any suggestions, if you have any, about some other means of accomplishing what I have outlined above. I have entertained the idea of doing this just as a powerpoint presentation but I want the ability to be able to dynamically query the data should the need arise.
