Hi Mark,

We've seen this problem too, and think it's a conflict between certain
graphics cards and MapInfo Pro's internal map redraw optimization routine.
A work-around is to disable Pro's optimization, and that's done in the
registry by setting the key (adding it, if it's not there)
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/MapInfo/MapInfo/Common/OffScreenBitmap" to 0
(maybe string "0"). And restart Pro.

The redraw will be slower, but you won't have any fragmentation problems.

I don't know why it happens on some machines. Maybe the graphic card's too
fast, or maybe it's not 100% complaint to specs.
If anyone's got an idea as to the core of the problem, I'd be delighted to
know too.

Best regards
Lars Nielsen

This has long been an intermittant problem for us for years (I assume it is
the same problem - a panel at the edge of the screen shows the old view
while the rest shows the new view). I assume it is some incompatibility
between MapInfo and the video card - we have had three different
machines/cards over the eyars and the problem still pops up now and then. I
haven't been able to work out what the problem is or what triggers it, but
it does seem to happen more when you have lots of layers in view.

We are still using 4.1.2 so I don't know if this is a problem with later
versions.

If you find how to eliminate it, please let me know.

Regards


Mark Knudsen

MI Perpendicular Lines

2000-09-20 Thread Mark Pollard



Hi List
 
I have a slight issue that I need resolved, 
I have a line that has start,end and centroid, I want to generate a 
perpendicular line to the original one with the new perpendicular having its 
centroid at the same point as the original line, so the new shape would be like 
an "X". This may be simple but I have been running around in different areas and 
can't see the answer, maybe I can't see the forest for the trees but any help 
would be appreciated.

If you don't want to waste your time, don't respond to spam. Just
because it mentioned "GIS" doesn't mean it wasn't just a
bald-faced advertisement.

In addition, it's NOT the first GIS magazine for Asia. GEO World
Asia/Pacific has been covering this region for years (see
http://www.geoplace.com if you're interested.)

I still think the best way to draw business online is to FIRST
establish yourself as a contributing member of the community, not
to introduce yourself by treating the community as a resource to
be exploited. The only time we hear from these folks is through
bulk mailings to all the GIS lists they could find...all at once
(another unwise thing to do.)

Considering that Asia will be where the action is online in the
21st century, there's an incredible opportunity to build a
community foundation here. Spamming isn't the way to do it.

RE: MI Help with finding intersection coordinates

2000-08-01 Thread Mark Pollard

Try using the Overlay nodes command first or the intersects command, you
could even return the section inside the radius with the overlap function
and then find the end node of the segment.

hope this helps

I'm trying to get the coordinates of the point where a search radius I've
set up intersects with a Polyline. If the intersection occurs at a node, I
can find out the coords. However, I'm having great difficulty thinking of
how to find them if the intersection is at some arbitrary point along the
line.

Any suggestions greatly received.

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.

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
