MI-L Excel graphs in MI-Layout?

[Andreas Boerner]

Hi!

I want to show 10 Excel graphs in a mapinfo layout. Is there a way to 
import the charts as polygones or something into mapinfo? Or join them 
together with a Mapinfo Layout in another program?

Besides Mapinfo I also have AutoCAD, CorelDraw and the Acrobat 
PDF-Writer at hand - also Postscript Output is possible.

Does someone have an idea to solve this with one or two of the above 
named tools?

Andreas

RE: MI-L Papersize

[Lyle Bayless]

I don't have any type of chart for the paper sizes and their respective
numbers, but I do know that number tells what actual size paper to print.
for example, Papersize 1 is 8 1/2 x 11 paper.

Hello listers,
I am trying to figure out some things on workspaces using notepad as
the editor.  I am a little perplexed as to what the "Papersize"
designation is.
Does anyone know if it is a code to tell the window to open up as
maximized or minimized, or is it soley for information that would go to
the plotter.
Please see the script below.  I would appreciate it if anyone had a
key for those numbers (i.e., 263=, 264=, etc.)
TIA

MI-L Retrieve user's name/login name

[Jeffrey Van Etten]

Well I am sure that this is something very simple, but does anyone know how
you could retrieve the information about the user who is logged into the
workstation and display that information in a layout?  I.e. I am trying to
complete a section that automatically enters the user's name into section on
the title block who has the workspace open, so that when they print the
Layout, it has their name on the print out. 
 
 Thanks in advance for you help!

RE: MI-L Retrieve user's name/login name

[Jacques Paris]

What about GetUserName(), adapted from Windows API Reference: Functions
(page copyright (c) 2000 Paul Kuliniewicz)

Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal
lpBuffer As String, nSize As Integer) As Integer
lpBuffer
String which receives the name of the user logged on to Windows. The string
passed must have sufficient room to receive the string the function will
give it.
nSize
The size of the string passed to the function. The variable passed as this
parameter also receives the size of the returned string (including the
terminating null character).
Return Value
0 if error, >0 if success

Example

' Display the name of the user currently logged on.
Dim username As String  ' receives name of the user
Dim slength As Integer  ' length of the string
Dim retval As Integer  ' return value

' Create room in the buffer to receive the returned string.
username = Space$(255)  ' room for 255 characters
slength = 255  ' initialize the size of the string
' Get the user's name and display it.
retval = GetUserName(username, slength)  ' slength is now the length of the
returned string
username = Left$(username, slength - 1)  ' extract the returned info from
the buffer
' (We subtracted one because we don't want the null character in the trimmed
string.)
Print "The name of the current user is "+ username

MI-L Batch processing Line Direction Changes

[Morrier, Steve]

Hi All,

RevDir.MBX but this is a manual approach. Is there a way to select all the
roads I want changed and then reverse the direction of the selection? TIA.

MI-L MB: holdout handles

[Jacques Paris]

I have noticed circumstances when handles are not “freed” after running a
MBX.

1 - When writing/debugging a program with MapBasic.exe, if the MBX launched
from MB is closed correctly in MI, next time I want to compile it I get an
error “(...mb:0) Unable to write application file. File may be in use or
read only”. If I try to compile it again, it may or may not work, i.e.
sometimes it takes more than one attempt to work (any relation with the
number of levels in the menu created by the application?).

2 – After having run a MBX from MB and closed it in MB and in MI, I cannot
rename it in Windows Explorer. “Cannot rename ... : There has been a sharing
violation. The source or destination may be in use”. To be able to do it, I
have to close MI (closing MB has no effect)

I have the feeling that MI is keeping some handles “active” even after the
closing of the application. Am I on the wrong track?

I see that behavior in the Win98 and W2K environment and with MB
7.0 too. It seems to occur only with certain (usually larger)
applications. It doesn't happen with the simple ones. If you exit
your application before compiling, it won't happen either.

It's rather annoying to me too.

MI-L Mapinfo printing extra paper

[Robert DeRubeis]

Hi there,

I have a problem when printing from a layout in mapinfo 6.0.  I am using a
HP650 plotter on win98.   If I do a custom paper size and put in something
less than 36" width (like 30x30") it will print out the map fine, but will
also spit out extra paper, out to about 42".  If I put the custom page
size to 36" width (like 30x36), then it cuts it correctly without the
excess paper out to 42".   

Has anyone else run into this?

I recently received a data set that contained contour lines created in

wondering what the cause of this error is? Is there a way to fix it without
manually revising the attributes?

Re: MI-L Mapinfo printing extra paper

[Robert DeRubeis]

Yes, there is an advanced tab and the autorotate is checked.  The whole
map frame, borders, etc is within the 30x30 page size and under
layout->options it shows only 1 page.  It prints only one sheet, but it
spits out an extra 14" of blank paper after the map.  So instead of the
30x30 sheet with just the map, I end up with a 44x30 sheet that I have to
trim 14" off from the bottom.

MI-L AutoCAD Import

[Bell, Percy]

Hi Everybody,
I'm having a really difficult time importing some AutoCAD
files into MapInfo. When I try to directly import them I get a DXF error
message. Then I can pull them out and split them into layers and thus import
them but then I run into a second wave of problems with setting the
projection and coordinates. 
The people who have supplied the data really don't know a
lot about it all we have is that it is a Lambert projection. I have tried
running it with the equal area proportion option for Australia and through a
process of trial and error have got the maps to sit frustratingly close to
our comparison maps but it seem still sits slightly rotated off so that even
if you get the four coordinate points to match perfectly the maps are out of
alignment at the corners.
Does anybody have any suggestions for what to do from here?

Thanks,

Percy

Re: MI-L Multi Monitors

[Brad Mathews]

Tedde,

I am successfully using dual (LCD) monitors on my computer. I am using an 
ATI Radeon 8500 64MB Dual-Head card ($150 OEM).

The only limitations I have are that both monitors must be running the same 
resolution and the monitor rotating software (for rotating LCDs) doesn't 
work. Also, the few games I have tried crash if I don't disable multiple 
screen support first (which takes all of 5 seconds).

Matrox also has good multi-monitor cards (2x, 3x and 4x) but they cost a 
bit more.

Windows 200 and XP natively support this feature so there is nothing 
complicated about it. Just follow the instructions that come with your 
video card. Also, make sure you download the latest video drivers.

Re: MI-L Multi Monitors

[Matt Bolton]

Tedde,

I've been running multi monitors for some years now (only recently with 
Mapinfo though), without any major problems - I think it's great and now 
find it really hard to work on only one.
I've used one computer with two separate PCI video cards, another with a 
dual head AGP card (Matrox) and a laptop with an external monitor set up 
as a dual.  All work quite well, although the dual head card is the 
probably the simplest option.
I'm happy to answer any questions you have.

Matt

RE: MI-L AutoCAD Import

Thanks Peter. I'll give that a go.

- This solution should get you around the DXF error message, and then
you can set the projection through the "Projection Button" in the "DXF 
Import Information" window.

I have also had problems importing .dxf files from AutoCAD into
Mapinfo.  We have Autodesk Map 2002 and MapInfo 6.5.

I have found that if the AutoCAD .DWG file is saved as a Version 12
.DXF file, there are no problems importing it into MapInfo.

If the .DWG file was saved as an  AutoCAD 2000 .DXF and imported into
MapInfo, I get the following error:

  AutoCAD 2000.DXF

  "DXF Error:  Unknown DXF item code:  line 847."

If .DWG file is saved as AutoCAD 14 .DXF and imported in Mapinfo, the
file imports, but there is no procedure to allocate different layers:

  AutoCAD 14.DXF

  "A DXF Warning has occurred"
  "DXF file does not contain a tables section.  All objects will be
considered to be on layer "0"."


So, if you have AutoCAD, open the .DXF files in AutoCAD and re-save
them as Version 12 .DXF files.  Then import these .DXF files into
Mapinfo.

This is just one work around that I found works.  I'm sure that there
are some others.  I hope this helps.

Hi Everybody,
I'm having a really difficult time importing some
AutoCAD
files into MapInfo. When I try to directly import them I get a DXF
error
message. Then I can pull them out and split them into layers and thus
import
them but then I run into a second wave of problems with setting the
projection and coordinates. 
The people who have supplied the data really don't know
a
lot about it all we have is that it is a Lambert projection. I have
tried
running it with the equal area proportion option for Australia and
through a
process of trial and error have got the maps to sit frustratingly close
to
our comparison maps but it seem still sits slightly rotated off so that
even
if you get the four coordinate points to match perfectly the maps are
out of
alignment at the corners.
Does anybody have any suggestions for what to do from
here?

Thanks,

Percy

MI-L Super Workspace Utility

[Doyle, Peter W]

Greetings List,

Does anybody know where I can download a later version of Super Workspace
v1.1 (a utility that allows compressing of a workspace and all its tables
into a single file) or where I can register this utility to overcome the 4
table limitation.

I have tried the following link mentioned in the SuperWorkspace Readme file
http://users.iafrica.com/s/st/stingray/GIS1.htm but it no longer works. I
have also tried the link at http://software.geocomm.com/scripts/mapinfo/ but
this also goes to the non working link above.

Are there any similar utilities which work similar to Super Workspace

Any help appreciated

Regards

Re: MI-L Refreshing password-protected DBMS table

[Matt Bolton]

 Lars,

Thanks for the advice.  I got it going using "Server Link Table", and it 
works well.

I'm interested in the option you talk about to "use VB to connect 
directly to the source and provide the results to MapInfo".  Since the 
datasource is already open in VB, this sounds like a better option. I 
can't find any reference to a Recordset = ... or Datasource =   type 
command in the MapBasic help - would you please point me in the right 
direction?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt,

The login/password used by MIPro to log into an RDBMS source is saved in the connect string in the very un-encrypted TAB file. I.e.
open for everybody to read. So usually one leaves out any passwords.

However, this forces MIPro to prompt for it when needing to reconnect (e.g. when refreshing). And there's no way to prevent this
prompt, so you're stuck in the way you've set it up.

But if you either use the MapBasic command "Server_Connect" to open the source and specify the connect string yourself, or use VB to
connect directly to the source and provide the results to MapInfo, you should be able to keep the password safe from prying eyes.

Subject: MI-L Refreshing password-protected DBMS table


 

Hi all,

Thanks largely to this list, my learning about programming with MI is
progressing rapidly, so I'd like to say a quick "Thanks" to those who
run and contribute to it..

On to the problem 

I have created a DBMS table which is linked to a password protected
Access database. In VB, I run the command
.do "Server Refresh [tablename]"
to refresh this link, at which time I'm prompted for a password.
I'd like for users to not see this prompt - i.e. have the password
entered via code.
I assume there is a simple way to do this , (something like .do "Server
Refresh [tablename], PWD=abcdef"
but can't find the syntax required.

TIA,

Matt

Hi all!

No help, but an occasion to repeat an old mantra of mine:

"Never use CAD systems for GIS work if you want to stay out of trouble."

MI-L MI Pro for MS SQL Server

[Russell Harris]

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience with MI Pro for SQL Server?
It sounds like a great idea for getting around all the 
problems of sharing files, and a lot less expensive than
going down the Oracle path. It's release seems to have been
kept fairly low key, but if it is a solid product, it would 
certainly bear looking at.
