MI-L MI ProViewer v6.0 distance units
We currently are using v6.0 and there appears to be no way of changing the Distance units from miles(mi) to another unit (say km)? You go to the help and it says to change the distance units go to map options but this does not exist? Must be a cut down help from MI Pro. Has anyone else come across this, especially our metric users? If not, I think MapInfo Corp. should rectify this. Whether I get feedback from anyone on not I will chase this up with our reseller (Steve at Digital Mapping "are you listening"?).

MI-L Raster to Vector Conversion
I am in the process vertorizing dozens of early geologic maps. it is not an easy task. I do the following steps scan at 300 or 400 dip (grey scale or color - never just black and white) and save in jpeg (sometimes tiff for very large files - I found a Kinkos that charges me $20 per scan period (either color or B&W, up to 36 inch width and any length). clean up the images in photoshop (remove grey background, make blacks black and whites white, etc, get rid of dot patterns or anything that is not a line). this part can take hours and hours I then use adobe streamline. It does a good job for line art. the only problem is that it creats lots of individual line segements (caused by the raster lines that have uneven thickeness, etc) that have to be connected. If there are just a few lines, I open the image up in illustrator, create an additional layer and trace over the original image (sometimes this is the fastest, easiest way to go). I would love to automate the process, but have never been able to do it (each image is just too different). good luck s. figuers ___ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
RE: MI-L Andrew Dressel
I'd like to echo the previous comments. I may not have the years and experience from which to speak to match some of the commenters, but I have the same sentimental attachment to the software and desire to see it flourish. I have chosen the independent GIS consultant path, and am a MapInfo VAR as a part of that. I am a geographer first, and as such a generalist when it comes to GIS consulting. MapInfo Pro still stands up very well against ArcEverything and the many other comparables. If Andy is the reason for that, then I owe him endless thanks.

RE: MI-L workspace links and moving data files
SpatialPlus also have an excellent freeware package called CopyPlus designed specifically to copy MI workspaces. It will copy the workspace into the specified root directory and any attached tables will also be picked up and copied into a directory called tables (created by CopyPlus) in the root directory. The disadvantages are that MI5.5 workspaces are converted back to MI5.0 and may lose or rearrange relevant MI5.5 only features (we use 5.5) like workspace header, printer commands or relief shading. SpatialPlus may have rewritten it since i downloaded it (for free) from www.spatialplus.com to update it for use with MI6.0 and 6.5. If you are copying to a CD first, it allows this but afterward, you will need to uncheck all the tables and .wor read-only tick boxes to allow further editing as they are made read-only for the CD.

Once all your files have been shifted or files and drives have been renamed, you can basically search find and replace all the paths (and names) with the new ones...

MI-L Raster to Vector Conversion
Dear readers, I am in need of a raster to vector conversion software and am looking for advice in where to turn and tips on what to look for. My company works with scanned images of cemetery maps. The maps are fairly simple in terms of basically being made up of a variety of lines that after our staff's work is completed, results in several layers of lines and regions. The maps are in basic black and white with no visual difference between lines and regions or layers. In many cases we scan the maps and then digitize the more complicated regions into our maps. Ideally I'd like to find something that could do the full conversion into a vector and we could just copy elements from the main vector map into other layers and then clean these lines and convert them to regions and polylines etc. Alternatively, if we could use the snap tool to trace our rasters that have become vectors, our work again might be that much easier. I'd also be happy to consider other alternatives if they were suggested. Any suggestions in terms of where to look and what to look for? I've checked the archive, but some of those are fairly outdated and many of the links no longer exist. Sorry for the redundancy of a common question though. Thanks in advance, Jennifer D.

MI-L SUM: Line styling
Thanks for the postings regarding my bus route line styling question. Here is the sum as promised. Special thanks to Alex Eshed who summarised this before. It seems there is no real way around the problem of showing a number of routes that overlap on the same link other than the way I was already attempting (thick line style at the bottom, thin at the top, different colours, very fiddly with lots of bus routes). As I was pushed for time I just ploughed on having little time to investigate the avenues: Alex's summary == From: "Philip Waight" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When faced with this problem for a routing application, I used the MapInfo line style editor to create offset line styles. These then become directional so you need more functions to manipulate these, but it allows a LEFT side, RIGHT side, CENTER display, but with the vectors still geographically positioned on the centreline. == Although I still haven't checked Alex believes that the MapInfo line style editor referred to maybe LineEdit.exe downloadable from Directionsmag. == From: "Crichton Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I did a similar project on bus routes when working in local government here in Sydney. If the bus routes are in separate tables, you could have lines of different thicknesses, colours and styles. This would allow you to overlay one route on top of another. If the routes are in the same table, you could take the same approach with lines styles and shapes by creating a thematic map of the routes. Either provides the same visual result. Hope this helps. == From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Having worked for Rand McNally and having to produce lots of paper maps, I would suggest using different linestyles and colors for each route. The trick is selecting linestyles that allow you to see other lines underneath them. Take a look at lines that have squares or circles or triangles spaced evenly along the line. The spaces between the symbols allow you to see other lines following the same path. == From: Sonya Nikolsky jchgis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Depending on the number of bus routes you have (it will not work with more then 4-5 on the same road segment) have you considered having them represented by lines of different thickness? The skinny lines will have to be placed on top of thick ones (possibly through thematic layering), but you will be able to view them simultaneously in geographically correct position.

RE: MI-L: Increase dpi in Images
What works for me is: Override the size of the Save Window As defaults to some multiple of what you want the final image to be; then re-size it in the target application. So, for example, you want a net 3" x 3" picture in a powerpoint presentation. When you save the window, make the size of the image 9"x9". Then, when you insert the picture... Grab the corner (be sure you keep the aspect ratio constant!) and reduce the size. Be aware of the size of the file you're creating.. ! If you have a 24bit color turned on on your monitor you can get huge files quickly. I often take the images into Paint Shop Pro (or your favorite bitmap editor) and reduce the color depth. -Original Message- From: Lyn Pawlowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 8:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L: Increase dpi in Images I hope someone can help me.

MI-L A new virus threat for MapInfo-L
This new virus --w32.badtrans.b@mm-- is spreading rapidly, but is easily stopped if you update your virus checkers. It attacks users of (as usual) Outlook and Outlook Express. Info on how to deal with it is at http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] But MapInfo-Lers have an additional problem. I have received several reports from people who have received this virus payload as an attachment to an email with a subject that looks like it's from MapInfo-L (e.g. "MI-L MapInfo Improvements"). However, both of our lists, MapInfo-L and MapInfo-L-Digest, clean all emails before they are delivered to you. They are scrubbed down to plain text and any attachments are removed before they leave the Directions Magazine server. So this means that these messages are originating elsewhere and are trying to slip through your security disguised as MapInfo-L messages (also it appears to be happening to other GIS lists.) THere is some info on the Symatec page on how to recognize these. I've not noticed any of these myself probably because I update my virus checkers every few days, I don't use Microsoft email tools, and have a message filtering system that automatically throws out e-mail with blank subject lines or contains other key signatures. But I've received enough reports to feel I better let people know something different is going on. If you haven't updated your virus checker since Nov 26, do it now, because until you do, your virus-checker is out of date. Also if you use Outlook or Outlook Express, see Microsoft's page on it: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS01-020.asp. -- - Bill Thoen GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.gisnet.com ___ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.

RE: MI-L W32.Badtrans.B@mm Virus
Listers using Outlook 2000 can download a security update from the Microsoft update site (windowsupdates.microsoft.com then follow link for Office) which stops the scripts for this virus popping up (Save or Open dialog) when viewed. If anyone has inadvertently opened one of these mails which always have a blank subject line, get information from the Symantec web site, www.symantec.com or similar. I'm getting 50 of these a day to my general sales enquiry mailbox which is more that I have ever seen before from an e-mail based self-propagating virus.

SV: MI-L Shortest route using Mapbasic
Hi Karigoudar- MapBasic is _astonishing_ slow when executing any kind of loop (for, while..). It is quite possible that a program converted from VB to MapBasic is 100 - 1000 times slower, if the program contains lots of loop - statements. My suggestion to you is to reprogram the shortest path algorithm as a Delphi (Pascal) based dll. You can download a free (for personal use) Delphi from www.borland.com . I think there is a example interfacing Mapbasic with Delphi dll's at www.directionsmag.com . If you can't find it, then send me a mail and I'll mail you some simple examples to get you started. regards Bo Thomsen GeoConsult I/S Denmark -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sendt: 29. november 2001 05:28 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: MI-L Shortest route using Mapbasic Hi all I am developing a program for Shortest path using Mapbasic(v 4.5), i have completed its giving result but it is taking lot of time(about 30 mins), same logic will give results very fast in VB(about 0.5 to 1 min). why it is so??, is there any better logic to find shortest route??.
