MI Automatic Column Update

2000-07-05 Thread Grant Dickson

Does anyone know of a way to automatically update a
column in MapInfo?
What I am doing is connecting to an Access database
via the power of ODBC. I want to combine the values of
three fields to make a unique ID. e.g. 1  N50  SE
would become 1N50SE etc. 

I tried doing it in Access, and it did not like it at
all. 

Any Ideas?

RE: MI Drivetime Analysis Packages

2000-07-05 Thread Mark Pollard

Dryden technologies sell a Software package called MarketDrive, built by
MapInfo in Australia. It allows market catchment analysis and routing. There
is also no need to build networks for the software as this is done for all
of Australia. There is no reason why data couldn't be put into the system
for other countries if the data existed in a good format. For Australia it
is basically install, run, point and click and it will return either
boundaries or routes based upon your settings. don't hesitate to ask for
more info.

 RW Net will perform this. Just go to www.routeware.dk and download the

 to see it for your self. There is also a list of other packages which do
 drive time analysis.

I had a look at this product, and am about to look at DrivePlan as well.
RWNet looks quite impressive. I am presently doing vehicle tracking, but
would like to add this kind of capability to my system.

What I don't yet know is what form I need to collect data in to make it
useful for either of these products. As we are in Asia, there isn't much in
the way of information on roads, so we have been driving around with GPS
units in vehicles, logging the data then "joining the dots" to make roads.
Obviously there is more to it than that. Do we need to collect other
attributes? I can imagine that road type, speed limit, road names, etc,
etc, might be useful, or maybe even necessary.

Is there some sort of generic list of data that needs to be collected in
order to make it useful for drivetime analysis? I'm also unsure of what
format it should be put into MapInfo (to keep it on topic). I could sign up
for either of these packages straight away, but would rather collect
enough data first in a format that would work generically with any
drivetime analysis package so I could do some sort of comparison using
our own data.

Anyone working in this field know of resources where I could find more
info? Any mailing lists on the subject?

TIA,

Dave

Re: MI Drivetime Analysis Packages

2000-07-05 Thread Uffe Kousgaard

Hello David

Most packages will be able to deal with a network even if it doesn't have
any attributes (speed limit etc) at all. In that case you will of course
need to assume the same speed everywhere, meaning shortest=fastest route.

You should also make sure, that your data is correctly geocoded in terms of
either lat/long or non-earth coordinates. Not all packages support lat/long,
which your GPS data probably is? But anyway you can always convert lat/long
into a local non-earth coordinate system (like UTM) using mapinfo.
(RW Net supports lat/long)

Road type are of course more convinient to use than speed info for each link
and street names/road numbers are nice for labeling on maps (and very neede
for making route descriptions), but they are not necessary from the
beginning.

Regarding mapinfo-format it should normally be (poly)lines and a few
packages also support multi polylines. Lines should snap (=touch), but some
packages accept "near-snap", that is a certain tolerance.
(RW Net doesn't support multi-polylines or "near-snap", but can locate
lines, which almost snap)

And I doubt you will find any mailing lists on this subject, but this one is
probably also quite good ?

MI Querying Text-Line-Colour

2000-07-05 Thread brian . forrester




I've got a problem with some text objects.  Someone has set up some text
with label-lines of no-linestyle (no, don't ask me why)

This is fine, as the lines never appear; unless, that is, you output them
as WMF files, when they have a nasty habit of reappearing on the final
print (but never the proof copy printed in-house- isn't that always the
way!)

There must be an StyleAttr(Objectinfo(obj,x),y) somewhere to trace these,
but I can't find it.

Can anyone help me out or, even better, point me to a definitive list ?

MI Re: Mapbasic 6.0 and printer settings

2000-07-05 Thread Andrew_Dressel


My question is how do I reproduce this functionality using
M_EDIT_PREFERENCES_PRINTER?  I think the suggestion was that I should be
able to still use the Windowinfo() to detect what the user has set in
M_EDIT_PREFERENCES_PRINTER and then go off and load the appropriate
layout,
but I cant get this to work.  Mapinfo still seems to return the
orientation
that has been set using page setup not the one set under Options/Printers.

As there are not MapBasic commands to access preferences, to detect what
settings will be applied to a new layout window, create one, off screen
if desired, detect its settings, and then close it back up:

  Layout Position (-100, -100)
  Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_NAME)
  Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_ORIENT)
  Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_COPIES)
  Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_PAPERSIZE)
  Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_LEFTMARGIN)
  Print WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_PRINTER_RIGHTMARGIN)

MI How to Unsusbcribe from MapInfo-L

2000-07-05 Thread Bill Thoen

For those of you who haven't seen what's posted on the bottom of
every MapInfo-L mail message, or who didn't save the information
sheet that was sent to you when you signed up, or who didn't
bookmark the MapInfo-L Clearinghouse page, here's how you get
yourself off the list.

Send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the body of the message
put:

unsubscribe MapInfo-L

See additional info at the MapInfo-L Clearinghouse site:
http://www.directionsmag.com/mapinfo-l

You will get a note confirming your request and subscription
status. Once you do sign off you may still receive a few
messages, but it should stop in less than a day.

If you get a note saying that you are "...not a member of this
list..." then it probably means that the address you signed up
with is not the address you are currently using. In that case,
just add the address that you want unsubscribed one the
unsuubscribe line.

Example: 
Suppose your address is now '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', but you were
signed up as [EMAIL PROTECTED] To get this address off
the list, send e-mail to majordomo and in the body of the message
put:

unsubscribe MapInfo-L [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This has to be approved manually, so give me a day to get to it.
As long as the real address resembles the address you want taken
off, I'll approve it automatically. If they aren't even close,
then I will send a note to the address being unsubscribed, and if
there's an affirmative or a no response, that address gets
removed.

Other problems, please contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

You probably got unsubscribed if your mail server started
refusing MapInfo-L messages. Lately, this is usually the result
of misguided anti-spam and virus countermeasures employed by your
ISP. Some of them blindly block all mail that is relayed to you
via a mail server (like ours at [EMAIL PROTECTED]). The theory is
that if the original sender is not the current sender (i.e.
someone sends mail to the list as the original sender, and the
list sends that message to everyone else becoming the relaying
sender) then the mail must be unwanted trash. Of course, that's
not always true, so clear that up with your ISP.

Other reasons for mail being bounced include people abandoning
their accounts, letting their disk quota get exceeded,
misconfigered servers, broken down servers, and probably a few
evil spirits drifting about the net. True, sometimes these
problems are temporary, but when I see that messages could not be
sent to your server for more than a couple of days, I don't want
to deal with several more days of bouncing MapInfo-L mail coming
from your server, so your address gets lopped off the subscribers
list.

Since tens to hundreds of bounced messages from the list pile up
in my mailbox every day I've been getting more aggressive with
taking problem addresses off the list. I can't always send you a
note about it because that takes a lot of time (and if your
address is broken it won't reach you anyway), but if I don't keep
the broken addresses cleaned up, then the list delivery slows
down as the MapInfo-L server tries to resend messages or wait for
timeouts.

Until we get a more automated setup (I'm considering moving the
list to the Directions Magazine list host... so give that some
thought) I'll be dropping any addresses causing more than their
fair share of trouble. 

Anyway, the solution is to resubscribe. If your address continues
to be a problem, I'll start to notice and will contact you
(because by resubscribing I know you really are still out there)
and we will work it out.

1) I have digitised 400 zone boundaries each with a unique number 
id. I did, however, digitise them in the wrong order, which means 
that the browser is a mess. Although this is not a problem is it 
possible to sort the id's from 1-400+ without physically affecting the 
mapped zones, much like you can in Excel with the 'sort data' 
command?

2) Does anyone know of any software other than Postcode Plus

2000-07-05 Thread Matt.Wilkie

 move list to a newsgroup

In one sense I agree completely, newsreader software is
much smarter about threads 'n such and much nicer to use. 

On the other hand,our firewall at work blocks the newsgroup 
ports (and no amount of pleading on my part will change it. 
I've tried). Also at my home ISP does not carry many 
newgroups and a fairly high volume one like MI would not be
considered to due the low number of GIS people in my area.

Web-based newsgroup access is more or less pointless from
my viewpoint - you lose most of the usability, while putting
up with ton's of slow downloading and fast animating ads.
The only real gain here is the ability to search past posts,
and browse without subscribing.

A mirror situation could work though: those of us unlucky
enough to be able incapable of using newsgroups could 
continue with email.

my 2 cents.

Sounds like your looking for is what's known as Voronoi polygons.
Take a look at http://www.tetrad.com/VMapper/example2.html, and
replace those Col McBuckets Chicken Fried Blasphemy stands with
fire stations, and you can see that the Voronoi polygons could be
used to select nearast roads to a station.

Vertical Mapper (http://www.northwoodtec.com) makes these easily.
Also check out The Map Tools Company's

RE: MI Automatic Column Update

2000-07-05 Thread Jo Acton

Use  Table  Update Column 

Fill out the relevant details in the dialogue box (the column to update will
obviously be the one you want the data stored in  you may need to create
this column through table maintenance)

Then click on the Assist button.  

Use the following:

Column1 + Column2 + Column3

Don't forget to save the table.

Hope this works,

Jo

Subject:MI Automatic Column Update  


Does anyone know of a way to automatically update a
column in MapInfo?
What I am doing is connecting to an Access database
via the power of ODBC. I want to combine the values of
three fields to make a unique ID. e.g. 1  N50  SE
would become 1N50SE etc.

I tried doing it in Access, and it did not like it at
all.

Any Ideas?

Grant
