Re: MI Hardware
Gabor We have found that a good graphics card is essential if you are using a number of layers (and particularly large polygons, such as relief layering). If you are also using a large monitor (We use a 19") then at least 8Mb of video RAM is best. Insufficient video RAM results in slow and sometimes incomplete drawing of frames on layouts, especially multiple frames and legends. We have a 500MHz CPU and 64Mb RAM which seems to be sufficient. regards Nigel James On Mon, 7 Feb 2000 14:27:08 +1100 Gabor Vasarhelyi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear all, I have previously brought up the issue of what hardware works best with Mapinfo. When working with a larger data set I notice the CPU is working flat out. Does anyone know whether the software is hard disk, CPU or video card demanding ? All of these things cost money ot update. I know bigger and fastest is best, however a more technical subdivision of what is critical would be appreciated. eg will a SCSI hardrive improve things or is it better to increase ram and cpu rates.? cheers Gabor Gabor Vasarhelyi GIS Manager Environmental Resource Managers Australia Pty Ltd Phone: 02 8425 1675 Facsimile: 02 9906 5375 -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Nigel N James Map Room Bodleian Library Broad St Oxford OX1 3BG UK tel : +44 1865 277013 fax: +44 1865 277139 Visit the Map Room Home Page at: http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/guides/maps/ -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MI Aerial Photography
Dave, With the raster image open as a table, open the Table menu, then go to Raster - Adjust Image Styles. You can then tweak the brightness and contrast. regards Nigel On Wed, 2 Feb 2000 19:15:43 - David Eagle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have some aerial photography onto which I am overlaying other data...When I print it out though the photos are very dark.

Re: MI Workspace
David Join the club! I had a similar tale of woe from a student who had done the same thing. Open the .wor file in Notepad (after saving a copy in a different folder for safety!) and delete the lines referring to the lost tables. (The sections start: Open table "C:\mystuff... etc). Save the file and it should open OK with the remaining tables. You can then open the tables which still exist (but wouldn't open) and save the workspace again - preferably under a new filename just in case it falls over again! regards Nigel On Tue, 1 Feb 2000 12:56:40 - David Eagle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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.

Re: MI MapInfo crashes when selecting
Ewa, Is it just MapInfo which crashes or does your PC freeze? We had a similar problem which was caused by running a mediocre spec. graphics card at its maximum resolution and refresh rate. Upgrading to a better card with more RAM fixed the problem. regards Nigel __ Nigel N James Map Room Bodleian Library Broad St Oxford OX1 3BG UK tel : +44 1865 277013 fax: +44 1865 277139 Visit the Map Room Home Page at: http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/guides/maps/ -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
