Re: Images in MI
This feature is not in MapInfo per se, but it's an easy one to build if you have MapBasic. However, you might try Hot_Link, a free MapInfo utility: http://www.directionsmag.com/mapinfo-l/files1.htm#hot_link.zip There's also something like this on MapInfo's site called PixShow at http://www.mapinfo.com/solutions_and_services/free/mb4.html Daniel Clark wrote: > > Hello MI'ers > > I'm new to MapInfo and I'm trying to set up a project that will contain > images. > > What I want to do is: > Create points that, when clicked on with the mouse, will open a small image > viewer and display the correct image for that point(eg. photos taken at that > location) > > How do I go about this? > Any help will be apprieciated. > > Cheers, > > Dan Clark > > __ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > -- > To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put > "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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: Images in MI
As far as I know PixShow.mbx(?) [available from MI web-site] will do this. > Hello MI'ers > > I'm new to MapInfo and I'm trying to set up a project that will > contain images. > > What I want to do is: > Create points that, when clicked on with the mouse, will open a > small image viewer and display the correct image for that point(eg. > photos taken at that location) > > How do I go about this? > Any help will be apprieciated. > > Cheers, > > Dan Clark > > __ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > > - To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact > [EMAIL PROTECTED] CJ Martin GIS Consultant WS Atkins Consultants Ltd (01952) 201234 -- 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: Images in MI - SpatialPLus
Dear Dan and All, Check out SpatialPlus' 'LINKPLUS' tool. Could do exactly what you are looking for and more. I've found it to be the best product out there linking multimedia, websites, documents etc to a map object in MI Sue Port from SpatialPlus recently wrote: --- We've developed a free product for MapInfo called LINKPLUS that can link any type of file or files (such as a MPEG video) to a single MapInfo object. It uses the file extension to associate the appropriate program as set by Windows. The file is retrieved in one step by simply pointing and clicking rather than selecting the object first. To get a free copy or more information on LINKPLUS visit our website at www.spatialplus.com I hope this helps.
