Does anyone on the list know the answer to any of the following questions:

How much are the Cresta zone data sets for MapInfo? ( It would be for two US
states area )

Who do I buy them from? ( I thought it was Europa technologies but I haven't
gotten a response from them ) (I tried e-mailing Warren directly but I have
gotten no response so maybe the contact info is out of date)

How do I get a hold of whoever has these data sets?
Thanks,
Andy

MI-L Readability on a small map....?

2005-01-21 Thread Wendy Antonio
Mappers,
 
We are making simple maps of multiple program sites in our county, which 
happens to be long and skinny. About the best we can do for scale is 1 mi = 
6.55 inches to make it fit on an 8 1/2 X 11 inch page. We have up to 125 
locations that need to be displayed, with at least a number at the location of 
for each site. Many overlap.
 
Do any of you have an example to share about how one can graphically handle 
this type of issue so the map is readable? We've experimented with a few 
variations on trying to draw each label out to the side and stack them, but the 
large number of lines looks... well...awful.
 
All ideas/links to wonderful solutions/sympathy welcome!  
 
We appreciate all the help the members of the list provide - have a good 
weekend.

MI-L Oracle Spatial - Points

2005-01-21 Thread RCippoletti
I have an Oracle 9.2 SDO database built.  It works well with Geomedia,
but when I try map point data, I get a blank screen.  Linear data and
polygon data display fine.

Any insight?  Is there something different in how Mapinfo and Geomedia
use point data from Oracle Spatial?

MI-L MI ProViewer 7.8 error

2005-01-21 Thread Ian White
Dear list

I've recently installed ProViewer 7.8, but when opening workspaces
created in Professional 7.5 or 7.8 (on XP) I get the following error
message:  "Variable uniqueStringName already defined", which results in
the layout window not displaying (the line number puts the problem
around the layout window commands).  Is this a known incompatibility
problem (and is there to be a patch) or is there another possible
reason?

MI-L auto increment polygons

2005-01-21 Thread Michael Smith
Thanks to the help of Uffe Kousgaard and Paul Smith I have my mapbasic code
updating (auto numbering) my grids cells from west to east and then down to
the next row to start the process again. 

Currently, I have 14000 grid cells created.  I need to update the attributes
for these in groups of 100 (10 grid cells across numbered 1-10 the next row
will be 11-20 etc. X 10 grid cells down) out of the 14000 total cells.  I
really don't want to manually enter a number in each of these grid cells.

|4|5|6|4|5|6|4|5|6|

Does anyone on the list have any ideas or suggestion on how I could
accomplish this.  I know very little about mapbasic.  Maybe the code I have
below can be modified to do this.  Thank you in advance.

Hi Michael,

Here is your revised Code. Just swapping the order of (For y = 0 to
iCellsDown - 1) AND (For x = 0 to iCellsRight - 1)

This changes the order the regions are drawn from Vertical to Horizontal
first (Left to Right)

Now simply changing the iLong +   to iLong -  (Changes from left to right
>>  right to left)

I hope this helps.

Hi list,

I am trying to create a grid map (polygons) 4000 X 5000.  Grid cell sizes
are 4.5 seconds of latitude and 4.5 seconds of longitude.  Using Mapbasic, I
have created this grid (although I may need to redo it in order to
accomplish my goal).

I have to number these grids cells (polygons) in groups of one hundred - 10
grid cells X 10 grid cells.  In this 4000 X 5000 grid, there will several
groups of these 100 grid cells.  I really don't want to manually enter 1, 2,
3, etc. in each of the grid cells.

On this table I have tried -> table ->update column and entered "value =
rowid".  This works to autonumber all the grid cells, but the problem is
that it does put the autonumbers in the cells that I want them in.  I am
trying to explain the question but may not be making myself clear.  

If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to accomplish this, PLEASE
help me!  If I need to give more/better explaination let me k

MI-L format$() and windows 2000 (foolow up)

2005-01-21 Thread Jacques Paris
To my original message, I can use the following observation. If I run
Set format number "9,999.9"
before the function call, there is no crash. If a run the same command with
"local", then MI crashes. It seems thus that the problem is a
windows2000/MI6.5 issue. Has that problem been documented?
Jacques Paris

Original message:
With the following setup

MI 6.5 build 31 and Windows 2000 v5 (build 2195, service pack 4)

MI crashes when using the format$() function.

Is that accident a "known feature" for that setup? Any fix?

TIA

RE: MI-L Gridding error using vertical mapper

My experience is that its best to have a pure MI format to get rid of

Dependig on your use within VM some attribute data in another format
than TAB might work..

?? But VM CAN access text/ascii files !!! You just have to run an
interpolation. All you need is an X, an Y and another column with value
in it.

Try it !

I think the problem is that you don't have a DAT file but a TXT or XLS
file. VM can not access these files.
Solution: do a 'save copy as' from the file menu. MapInfo will then
create a DAT fil instead of you TXT/XLS for your attribute data.

When working with VM your want your data to be 100% in the MapInfo TAB
format.

Also check you running 3.1 if you have a 3.0 license. Bug fix version
3.1 is a free download from MI.

Hi there,

I am a new Mapinfo user, and would like import some grids from another
software (called Minex).

At this stage, I think my best option is to import them as an ascii
files or .xls, and then regrid it using one of the functions in Vertical
Mapper, as I can't get the Minex grids into any of the formats supported
by Mapinfo. However, when I set up the wizard to use the inverse
distance method, it gives me the following error message when I try to
proceed from the column select page:

"Error in Mapinfo file Access Library. Extended error value: 1934"

Could anyone help me out as to what this means and what I need to adjust
to proceed.

Thanks very much
