MI default units

1999-08-27 Thread Swayze, Natalie: WPG

Is there a way to permanently set and save the distance units that MI uses
so it doesn't have to be changed in the options menu each time the program
is opened? Presently the units always default to miles and I would like to
change this to kilometers.

RE: MI Interactive Maps on CD-ROM

1999-08-27 Thread Swayze, Natalie: WPG

Our company has a database as well as CD-ROM versions or topographical paper
maps. The maps consist of various layers of information and are used with a
MI application called Smartview.
I am interested in producing a webstyle version of this map data, or making
it somehow accessable via our companies web site.
If I could please be forwarded any comments to Thomas re:his request, it
would be very useful and appreciated.

Subject: MI Interactive Maps on CD-ROM
Date: Thursday, August 26, 1999 5:55PM

Dear Listers,

We, at the Bavarian Geological Survey want to use alternative media to
distribute and document geological maps and geological data. Before there
was only the usual analog paper map and booklet for explanations.

Now, we want to produce a kind of interactive CD-ROM where the text
explanations and features on the map are interlinked. As a very broad
approach we thought of a web-style product where the user can use hotlinks
to navigate through the informations, get popup explanations etc. . The
product would be static and self contained, no connection to any data server
is intended.

The user should be able to display various map layers, klick on a map object
to get information displayed (either a database table or a chapter in the
explanation or even a list of possible links) or the other way round should
be possible: klick on a hyperlink in the explanation and have the related
map object displayed.

Since I have absolutely no experience with development of web pages, I would
like to ask the list about the product we would need to develop such a
CD-ROM (i.e FrontPage for the design of the web pages, MapXtreme or MapX for
the map components, product from other vendors). ? Is the intended approach
feasable, realistic or appropriate at all or would somebody recommend a
complete different design of such a product. Does anybody have experiences
with similar projects ?

Are there any licensing issues to be considered using map components
distributed on CD-ROM ?

Any comments, suggestions would be very welcome.

MI "auto layer builder"?

1999-08-05 Thread Swayze, Natalie: WPG

 Is there a Mapbasic program that would load all available layers for the
 view I am looking at. Example if I zoomed into a 20 mile zone on a map, I
 would like to hit a button and have all the layers I have show up.

MI saving workspaces

1999-08-05 Thread Swayze, Natalie: WPG

Hello all,

Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to save workspaces onto a cd,
so that they can be reopened from a different pc( i.e. one that does not
have the original .tab files in the directory which they were made in)?

I have a series of map layers( 8 .tab files), which I've created on my hard
drive and created workspaces for which include all of these layers. But,
when saved onto the cds, MI recalls where the tables were originally located
and asks to locate each one individually...

Can this be avoided by saving the individual files to the cd first, and then
reopening them off the cds and making the workspace?
Can the problem be adjusted by opening the .wor file in a text viewer and
changing the directories that MI searches for the tables?

Combing tables with MI

1999-08-03 Thread Swayze, Natalie: WPG

Hello all,

I have a couple quick questions which hopefully have a simple solutions:

>I'm working with a series of 1:50K maps, each of which has ~7 layers(
hydrology, roads etc.)I need to combine the layers from all the maps to
create 7 layers for the entire coverage area. Is there an SQL query I can
use or some other function in MI?

>Is there a way to change and save the projections settings on a table?

MI problem creating workspaces

1999-07-19 Thread Swayze, Natalie: WPG

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone had any insight on this:

I'm trying to open a series of tables for 2 different areas off of 2
seperate cd's, and save them onto one workspace. I can open each
individually and make 2 workspaces, but I'm unable to add the tables
from one to the other without the cd's BOTH being inserted( and I only
have one driver).
The only way around it I've come up with so far is to save a copy of the
files for one map to a folder on my hard drive, and then load the other
off the cd.
This is really inconvient however and I'm hoping there's a better way to
do this.
Suggestions??
