MI Text cosmetics
Listers, In labelling roads with their respective names I have happened upon some rather shapely country roads. The labels I have added therefore look a little unsightly and angular (they are quite large). Is there a tool out there that will allow me to wrap these labels to a path (something along the lines of what you can do in Corel Draw)? Otherwise my options are to split the text up and position the words individually or I may indeed export the lot to Corel Draw... Any thoughts? Cheers, Dave _ David A.

MI Sorting Browser Data
Mappers, 2 Questions really: 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 supplied by AFD software which can be used to return Postcodes when given partial addresses? If any other packages are available do they also output a grid ref? Oh, and how much? TIA oh saviours! Dave _ David A.

MI Labelling with concentration
Mappers, I have geocoded a number of responses to a survey by their postcodes (it would have been nice to use OS ADDRESSPOINT data but the addresses collected are too much of a mess to get any decent hit rate). As a result of this I now have in most cases one visible point on the map which actually represents between 5 and 25 respondents living under that postcode. Is it possible to label each point visible with an 'expression' that will show the concentration of respondents at each point. Sorry if this isn't very clear but its difficult to explain...

MI Update column
Listers, I have a number of polygons, well, over 200 actually. Their names are featured in the browser in one column and I would like to update another with an incrementing number, 1,2,3,4,5,6,etc, so that each polygon has an individual ID ranging from 1 - 237. Is it possible to do this and if so how? Its probably possible with an SQL but I am unfamiliar with these...I've tried to edit the .dat file (but get a screwy output) and apend from other files but I can only append rows, not columns...Manual keying will take an age and I want to avoid that if I can.

MI Re: Update column SUM
Thanks to Bruce Napier and Laurent Frilleux for your prompt responses to my problem. Should anyone wish to do this in the future, these methods work: 1) Just add an extra column (integer) to your table using table - maintenance - table structure. Then use table - update column choose your table and your new column, get value from the same table. The value you add is RowID. This will update the column as you have asked. 2) In the mapbasic window type: update table_name set column_name=rowid Thanks again, Dave On 27 Jun 00, at 9:43, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Listers, I have a number of polygons, well, over 200 actually.

MI Deriving Coords for MapInfo
Mappers, With all the GPS 'chat' lately I need to be careful here not to get heckled, but I am after some info if anyone can provide the goods? There is a possibility of some work coming our way for which I will need some GPS hardware. With a very limited knowledge of such hardware I need to know what would potentially be the best equipment for what I see as essentially a fairly simple job. Ultimately I want to translate some raw GPS lats/longs into MapInfo to create a database of, lets say street furniture, as an example... Our requirements: We wish to travel out to multiple sites and take fixes at those points of street furniture and then return to the office and translate the fixed eastings/northings, lat/long into maps. The hardware must therefore be able to store multiple fixes (is it possible to attach reference attributes to these features?). We would then like to download the info into a spreadsheet so that this could be transferred into MapInfo to create a spatial database of all the features (with associated attributes attached). If possible I need to know rough hardware costs. What the capabilities are of the unit(s). How the data is stored internally and what level of detail is possible. How the data is downloaded. Into a proprietary package? Into any package (if data is stored in a *.dbf format or a similar format)? If anyone out there does such a task (I'm sure I only require a fairly simple hand held unit?!?), I'd appreciate some input. Will Sum of course!

Just a quick observation really. Using the British National Grid coord system I have a browser full of eastings and northings.

So I altered the info in the browser expecting the geographical entity to move to its new position, I was surprised that it didn't.

Mapping brethren, Relating to the mails that were flying about this morning, what's a Voronoy polygon? According to a reliable source Voronoy was a mathematician who studied subjects closely related to Minkowski who did lots of work on four dimensional linear space time. On this basis is a Voronoy polygon a four dimensional linear shape and if so how would this be represented assuming the 4th dimension to be time? Am I over analysing and completely missing the mark?

As I am working with 5.5, I will say "that's it, you have to do with it." Pam is also right on another point: MI can store in the wor a query, not its result but the "select..." generated by a query. When the wor is open, the results are generated by the query and anything can be done with that "table". My recommendation : once you have made a selection for one set of objects, "save as" the selection with a new name, add the new table to your mapper, do the thematic on it. Alternative: create a sql query that will pick up the objects of one set by their "names" and use it for thematic 1. Repeat for each group. Good luck in your "misery" Jacques _ David A.

This crash never happens when doing any sort of intensive work, usually

I'm running the latest version of NT with service pack 5.

It seems that this is a logical way of trying to get a result but despite interrogating numerous help files, I am still failing... If I manage this what would be really useful is working out how to perform the query relating to another table and therefore selecting all the car park entries that fall within a 3 Mile buffer circle that I have setup on another table Any help would ease my frustration.

MI Query Contains
Ok, heres a problem which I have come accross before and gave up on...It's cropped up again, and I don't want it to beat me again so here goes...

MI Aerial Photography
I have some aerial photography onto which I am overlaying other data...When I print it out though the photos are very dark. Is there any way within the mapinfo environment that I can adjust the brightness/contrast of these photos? I have tried exporting the window as numerous file types and altering this in paint programmes which is sucessful but when I do this the quality of the picture is degraded and overlaid text becomes blocky... Any Ideas would be welcome... Thanks, Dave _ David A. Eagle (Graduate Analyst). WS Atkins Consultants - East Anglia Wellbrook Court, Girton Road, Cambridge, CB3 0NA.

MI Workspace
My nightmare has occurred... I accidentally deleted a table which was used in several of my fairly complicated workspaces yesterday and when I try to open them today, not only can they not find that one but they seem to have lost all the others too. When I go through the process of finding each table individually it gets so far and then tells me that it can't open one of my other tables which has never moved and I know is ok...Is there anyway of getting some tables disregarded within a workspace so that it will boot up as normal? Er, thanks (again). _ David A. Eagle (Graduate Analyst). WS Atkins Consultants - East Anglia Wellbrook Court, Girton Road, Cambridge, CB3 0NA.

MI Cosmetic Problem
A Monday question! Does anybody know if it is possible to select more than one layer at a time in order to globally override the style of a particular area...? or do I have to go through each layer individually and rather tediously? I have OS Landline data (numerous individual layers) displayed in colour which I wish to display as black only so that the colour layers I am superimposing over the top are more prominent. I have tried a roundabout way of achieving this by printing the Landline in BW and then only the colour layers by form feeding the same page into the colour printer but there is a mismatch in the layers (as I expected!). Any ideas would be helpful! TIA, Dave. _ David A. Eagle (Graduate Analyst). WS Atkins Consultants - East Anglia Wellbrook Court, Girton Road, Cambridge, CB3 0NA.

MI Eastings Northings Part II
Ok, many thanks to all of you who have replied to this annoying little problem. I'm getting there slowly...I now know that my initial mistake was in having the column flagged as an Integer, it should be a 'Float' it seems. To clarify for those who have asked the projection I am using is "British Coordinate Systems" - Category Member "British National Grid" with coordinate units expressed in Meters. After updating both columns again with the 'float' setting I atleast get a result but it seems there is a projection problem somewhere. E.g. - When I select an object and go to EditGet Info, I get the following, Location X: 549,316.39m Location Y: 256,640.97m. These are the figures I wish to grab and put in my table, however when I update I get the following for that point: X: 0.184493 Y:52.1874 Major annoyance! Some of you have suggested entering a mapbasic command similar to the following "set coordsys table yourTableName", not being familiar with MapBasic (in any way shape or form!) I am unsure what this is doing, and it doesn't work when I try it anyway. If anyone can help, you know where I am...Thanks, to all have helped thus far anyway! Dave - Another one for the masses! I have geocoded over 100 addresses by Postcode. I now want to append the Eastings and Northings for each point to this table. I have created two extra columns and have flagged them as integers. I then have tried going to 'Table', 'Update Column' and then select the 'table to update', then the 'column to update' and then 'get value from' the same table, with the 'value' as centroidX(obj). I'm getting nowhere! I'm sure I'm on the right lines as it seems logical and I have gotten a semi-valid output but only when the column is flagged as a character...Er, help?!

MI Eastings Northings, Concludes!
Here's the solution to the problem... A big thanks to all those who have given me a helping hand: Options Show Mapbasic window goto the window, enter set coordsys table YourTableName hit return.

MI Legend backgrounds
Help Listers! Situation: Using aerial photography as a backdrop I have used some 'White' cosmetic items e.g. White dasked polyline to show a disused railway line. Problem: However, when I generate a Legend you can't see the cosmetic item because the background of the legend is white too! I can quite sucessfully put a border around the legend but can't seem to find anyway of colouring in the background of the legend or importing a picture as the backdrop as you can do in some graph programs. No doubt I am missing the obvious, so can anyone show me where to click to get results? Thanks in advance... _ David A. Eagle (Graduate Analyst).

MI Masks: The solution!
Dear All, An overwhelming response to my masks problem has given two main options: The true masking solution: In a new layer (or cosmetic) draw a polygon over the area you wish to view, (you may already have a polygon!) then draw a bigger one over the area you wish to mask. Select the larger area and... Objects - set target on the larger area. select the smaller area using ctrl + left mouse click then... Objects - erase. That will give you a single polygon with a hole in the middle the shape of your original polygon. Then save this doughnut polygon to a separate layer and move it on top of everything else thus masking external data and letting what you wish to see shine through!! The Clipping version: Select the polygon you have e.g. a district boundary with LandLine data overlaid. Select the district polygon: Map Clip Region, this will clip all of the surrounding data and show only that which falls within the polygon. N.B. - Apparently this is only a display function, you are not actually permanently clipping all your data... Thanks again everyone who replied! The solutions solved my problem, good luck to those who inquired for their own purposes!! _ David A. Eagle (Graduate Analyst).

MI Masks?
As simple as it maybe I cannot work out how to create a 'Mask'. I have a polygon within which I wish to see the contents of other layers but outside of it I want to mask the data. Can anyone point me in the right direction? -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
