MI - Grid Handler API
Hi, Anyone had a problem with out-of-date documentation for the Grid Handler API ? The documentation I have is Ausgust-98. Comparing the documentation to the functions exported from MIG.GHL, it seems that there are 14 undocumented functions exported, plus 2 documented functions (GetCellValue and WriteCellValue) are not exported.

MI - Long plots to HP1055
Hi, A client has a problem plotting 1500mm (=59") long PostScript plots on an HP1055. The correct length of paper is produced but the printed output stops at 1170mm (=46"). The plots are OK using HPGL/RTL on the HP1055 and are also OK using PostScript on an HP755. The HP1055 also produces long PostScript plots from software other than MapInfo. Any ideas ?

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.

RE: MI Pro Geometry Manager
Hi, From my tests so far with fairly large datasets it works very well and VERY quickly. We compile geological maps by digitizing, cleaning, polygonizing and attributing. Pro Geometry Manager builds a 7000 polygon geological map from the linework in a couple of minutes on my PII-266 with 128MB RAM. The ability to clean spikes and dangles, batch process, combine linework from multiple tables and the very verbose log files are also great features. It is relatively high cost, but it offers big value if you're cleaning and building large polygon datasets.

RE: MI Calculate Raster Area / Convert to Vector
Hi Roy, This is where specialist image processing software such as ER Mapper comes in. ER Mapper treats every "image" as a grid, thus allowing all types of operations such as complex filtering, classifications, raster-vector polygons, statistics, 3d views etc. Check out www.ermapper.com for more info.

I use MI and Vertical Mapper. Vertical Mapper uses is quite flexible with grid (grd grc) files. All that is needed is to be able to convert a raster image to a .grd file in one of the formats that is recognizable with either or both MI and VM. This appears to be a real chore. At least, I haven't seen any 'successful' results or discussions about it. All of my inqueries have left me feeling like I'm the only one in the world who doesn't know how to convert an image into an ascii array of values that are related to image colors. Then that file could be modified with the appropriate header and be importable via Vertical Mapper and wa la you have a grid file that you can do something with. I have been dinking around, off and on, breaks for Army Navy Gators and Bama, and haven't solved it yet. Damians edge detector idea would be great, but what about drawing the regions after the image w/edges detected is georeference. Then you gotta create a new map and trace over the regions. I takes enough time that the quest for the better way is the only way.

RE: MI MapImagery
Hi Maxine, I personally use MapImagery, and know many other users who use it. One note - make sure you have version 6.039 or later as there were some minor instabilities in earlier versions. MapImagery is great for viewing ER Mapper algorithms and datasets, but more importantly it now allows you to access images served up over the web via the Image Web Server (IWS) technology (check it out at www.earthetc.com). The IWS is available in several flavours - from personal through to enterprise - and allows you to put any images (such as a large mosaic of high res air photos) on the web. They can then be displayed in MapInfo (+ MapX, ArcView etc) with no more work than if you were reading the images from your own disk.

RE: MI Seemingly Senseless Seamless
Steve, If you are creating a seamless table from multiple rasters, then a more efficient solution (though it would take more time to initially set up) is to get all of your images mosaiced together, then written out to a compressed format like ecw (ER Mapper's compressed imagery format). ER Mapper (www.ermapper.com) provides tools for automatically mosaicing, balancing and compressing your imagery. There are essentially no limits on the amount of imagery you can mosaic and compress (up to TB if your system is big enough). Once compressed, the original 4GB of imagery will be compressed down to about 50-100MB (or alternatively you might create a few, smaller compressed files). You can use the ecw compressed image in MapInfo using the freely available plug-in called MapImagery (see www.gid.com). And the best bit is that the compressed image displays much quicker than the original uncompressed files. This is because the slowest part of the procedure is reading the data off disk, and there is up to 50 times less data to read with a compressed format like ecw. You should be able to find a local consultant who will do the mosaicing, balancing and compression.

I thought that the way I used to make seamless tables (best method or not) was to open 1 table and use the Seamless Manager utility to create a new seamless table. Then, I would open the new table, select "Append to Seamless Table" and choose from the file dialog all the other files I wanted. Well, that doesn't seem to work anymore. I created a new seamless table with just one table in it. I went to append tables to it, and I get the error message, "Table is not defined seamless." Okay, so I create a new seamless table with some other tables in it, try to append it and get another error message, "Table is defined seamless. Seamless table cannot contain other seamless tables." This is a catch-22: you cannot append tables if they are not seamless, but they can't be seamless and append them??? I think something is broken. My logic, or their code. I would try and write around the problem, but couldn't find MapBasic commands to do so. The reason why I do not just create the whole seamless table in one step is that there are almost 3,700 raster images (4 gigs) involved here. Any help greatly appreciated.
