MI Re: Jumping to a Specific View
ahoy listers a MapBasic question here (and i imagine it will be dead simple). i have a number of MI tables that make up a map of the UK when opened togther in the same mapper window. one of the tables contains a series of regions within the UK (there are quite a lot of them - approx 180. we've wrtten some code which opens up all the tables in a mapper and then styles them up in the correct manner. what i want to be able to do now is to return the minimum bounds of each of these regions (we've come across the mbr function) when jumped too and then zoom in to those minimum bounds. It would also then be nice to be able to zoom out a bit (say by 10% or so). any ideas ??? thanks in advance Jonathan >-Original Message- >From: Matt.Wilkie [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Thursday, August 05, 1999 12:37 AM >To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (E-mail) >Subject: RE: MI maximum qty of points > >>There is a relatively simple method to fix points being quished >>against an imaginary line when combining tables. >> >>In MI 5.5 there is a mapbasic utility that enables you to change >>the bounds (or extents) of any table.

Selecting via record no in MI
Mornin All (well that depends on the timezone but never mind...) At the moment i'm trying to import MapInfo data into a slightly non standard GIS system. The trouble is the files i am bringing in are pretty large (100,000 - 500,000 records). The system i am importing to (via mif/mid) can only have a maximum of 160,000 records in a file. thus i need to be able to slice these larger MI files up into smaller chunks. Is there a 'record number' function in MI anywhere so i can say in an SQL statement that i to select want records 1 - 100,000 and then save the query ? anyone think of any other ways of doing this cheers Jon. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

MI Clipping Polygons
Hiya All i seem to be asking a lot of questions recently but i guess that's what we're all here for.. i basically have two coverages one of which needs to be clipped using the other. This is not a problem as i have a utility that does this. The problem is this, the clipper layer is in some cases 'bigger' than the layer it is being used to clip. SO i need some way of snapping the layer that is being clipped to the layer that is used to clip it. (?***!!^&&&!!!) hope that make sense any ideas would be really gratefully accepted. cheers Jon.

MI OS DG Resignation
Afternoon all i would suggest that Geoff Robinson's resignation come a bout as a result of the frustrations of working with a notoriously slow moving and conservative Government Agency. As someone who works with the OS and their datasets on a regular basis i can entirely understand this. The whole mindset is still way behind the rest of the industry on things such as data formats (to non Uk MapInfo ers pray you never have to come into contact with NTF), data supply and data pricing. One gets the feeling that the whole thing is still geared towards the 1:50,000 paper maps. In the recent Article in Mapping Awareness Geoff Robinson said that he had found 'a huge well of goodwill towards the OS...' - from whom I feel sorry foir Geoff Robinson because i feel he was trying to change things and possibly for the better. I only hope his sucessor has a similar attitude or a major opportunity will have been lost. sorry if that was a bit of a rant but i feel it had to be said. this whole situation whilst mainly affecting the UK is symptomatic of the way data supply and data providers can affect the whole of the industry (witness the drop in proces mnetionned by bill in NZ and Autralia) cheers & have a good weekend all Jon.
