Re: MI What is GML and should we MapInfo-ites care?

2000-09-04 Thread Kurt Ackermann

If you want some in-depth info on GML, I would recommend OGC's site, 
specifically: http://www.opengis.org/techno/specs/00-029/GML.html

My opinion is that we should at the very least care as interested 
participants in the world of GIS. The quest for GIS standards, though by 
no means easy, is laudable and deserves the support of those of us who, 
though fond of Mapinfo, see it as only part of a bigger picture.

GML seems to offer functionality as both an interchange format and the 
potential to really streamline webmapping.

My 2 cents.

perhaps 90% of educational market?
It can't be 90% of Utilities as Intergraph and Smallworld are very strong
there - although a few issues with directors selling shares a touch early
and other problems!

It could be 90% of military and environment.

i think it is more like 40% of actual GIS market - still extremely strong!

The Bonne projection is a "pseudo-conic" projection.  It is the conic
analogue
of the Sinusoidal projection. (You can also consider the Sinusoidal to be a
special
case of the Bonne projection.)

Both projections have the property of being equal-area.

Unfortunately, MapInfo does not support the basic algorithm for the Bonne
projection, presumably because not enough people have asked for it.

The Polyconic projection will give you a similar effect but it won't be
equal-area.  The Albers Equal-Area Conic will be equal-area but will look
even less like the Bonne projection.

Hope this helps
Spencer

BONNE Projection is in the family of Conic Projections.  It is classified as
a pseudoconic, equal area projection.  Its central meridian is a straight
line, all other meridians are complex curves. Scale is true at the CM and
along each parallel.  For details, history, usage, formulae, etc., refer to

RE: MI what is Bonne projection?

2000-01-14 Thread Clifford J. Mugnier

Rajeev,

I noticed the other answers you have received on the list 
so far, and they are correct to a point.  Within the 
apparent context of your question about a projection found 
in an atlas, you have your answer.

However, in 19th century Europe and early to middle 20th 
century Middle East (and most French colonies), the Bonne 
Projection means something quite different.  When working 
with Geodetic Grid systems it is an ellipsoidal 
implementation that is NOT the same as using the spherical 
equations.  Geographers will occasionally use ellipsoidal 
Authalic latitude in thematic applications with the 
spherical equations.  (See the late Prof. Karl Rinner in 
"Zeitschritt der Vermessungswessen," back in 1932 - I 
forgot which issue.)

The February, 2000 issue of "Photogrammetric Engineering 
and Remote Sensing" will feature my column on Grids and 
Datums for the Republic of Madagascar.  In that, I discuss 
the Bonne projection as used in Madagascar and why General 
Jean Laborde hated it for geodetic work.  You can find 
other countries in past issues of my column at:

http://www.asprs.org/resources.html

If MI supports it, I would expect it to be the thematic 
spherical implementation and NOT the special ellipsoidal 
power series once used for geodetic National Grid systems.

Re: MI what is Bonne projection?

2000-01-14 Thread William De Genst

Bonne's projection is a pseudoconical equal-area projection. The 
meridians are represented by concurrent curves, the parallels by 
concentric arcs of circles. The centre of the projection is defined as 
the intersection of a straight central meridian with a central parallel 
of length r0 = R*tan(90-lat0), where lat0 is the latitude of the central 
parallel. The parallels are correctly spaced along the central meridian 
and represented in correct length (which gives the projection the 
equal-area property). Transformation formulae:

x = r*sin(T)
y = R*cot(lat0) - r*cos(T)

where

T = R*longit*cos(latit) / r

r = R[cot(lat0) - (latit - lat0)]

lat0 is the latitude of the central parallel.
R is the radius of the generating globe.

(setting the equator as central parallel yields sanson's sinusoidal 
projection).

For more information see for example:
Canters, F. and H. Decleir, 1989, The world in perspective: a directory 
of world map projections, John Wiley&Sons, Chichester.

This is an Atlas GIS format. From what I remember, Atlas can read MapInfo, 
but MapInfo cannot read BNA.

MI What is Oracle Spatial?

1999-09-24 Thread Neil Havermale

What is Oracle Spatial?

The product provides an integrated set of functions and procedures that
enable spatial data to be stored, accessed, and analyzed quickly and
efficiently in Oracle8i. This means that spatial and attribute data can
now be managed in one physical database, thereby reducing processing
overhead and eliminating the complexity of coordinating and
synchronizing disparate sets of data. "By using Oracle8i extensible
indexing features, Oracle Spatial   exceeds the performance of previous
releases."

Oracle Spatial provides a completely open architecture for the
management of spatial data within a database management system. The
functionality  provided by Oracle Spatial is completely integrated
within the database server. Users define and manipulate spatial data
through SQL and gain access to standard Oracle features such as a
flexible n-tier architecture, object capabilities, robust data
management utilities, and Java stored procedures. This ensures data
integrity, recovery, and security features that are virtually impossible
to obtain with other architectures. In addition, a new geocoding
framework facilitates address matching, storage, and retrieval of
geocoded spatial point data, as well as within-distance query
capability, from within Oracle8i databases.

With the release of Oracle8i, spatial data can be stored in relational
tables or as objects -- abstract data types (ADTs). This new object data
type (SDO_GEOMETRY) is supported directly by core Oracle8i engine. The
use of the object relational type enables spatial data to be stored,
accessed, and  analyzed quickly and efficiently in an Oracle8i database.
This gives application developers the facility to store all locational
(geographically referenced) information within an industry standard
database server without having to resort to custom-built external
indexes and functions to get the performance they need. Users of spatial
data have access to standard Oracle8i features, plus enhanced features
such as bigger database size limits, faster backup and recovery, and
Java in the database.

In Spring 1999, Oracle Spatial (ver. 8.0 and 8i) became the first
software company to pass OpenGIS conformance testing for "Simple
Features for SQL". Oracle's commitment to standards activities is
demonstrated by its active principal-level membership in the Open GIS
Consortium (OGC) during the past three years.

License Oracle 8i Personal Edition for $395 and get essentially all
features of "Spatial Cartridge", the replacement technology for SDO,
plus a JAVA database.

Do we really need SDE anymore?

MI What is cylindrical projection for mapping?

1999-08-05 Thread Alice Dobry

Hello all,

I made a few maps for my client using MI's default lat/lon
projection.  However, I'm finding out now that point data isn't
overlaying correctly, and it's probably due to some projection
problem.  Someone mentioned that the other plots that I need to
create maps to go with was done using "cylindrical" projection.

Anybody ever heard of this cylindrical projection? I sure have
not.  For anyone who has, I'd greatly appreciate any advice on
where I could learn more about this projection, that is, if it
even exists.

Thanks,
Alice Dobry

RE: MI What is "rasterstyle" ?

1999-07-28 Thread Jacques Paris

Christophe,

What I made out of rasterstyle is that they are display parameters that
appear after you have made some adjustments with Table|Raster|Adjust image
style to a registered image.

1 and 2 stands for contrast and brightness (%)
3 and 4 ???
7 for the colour that is set to be transparent (RGB coded)

There may be more but these are the only ones I have come across.

Hi,
do somebody know the signification of "Rasterstyle" in the tab file for a
raster ?
 I don't find information in the mapinfo help.
