MI-L Setup instruction for Ultraedit / UEStudio for MapBasic developers

[Jakob Lanstorp]

I had several requests on how to setup Ultraedit / UEStudio for MapBasic. This 
is some of the stuff Peter Horsbøll Møller and I have filed through the years:


Setup for Ultraedit or UEStudio for MapBasic use:

*1*.
Create two text files and save them to two batch files called:
Compile_MapBasic.bat and Link_MapBasic.bat.

*2*.
Enter in the Compile_MapBasic.bat file:

@Echo off
"C:\Program Files\MapInfo\mapbasic 4.5\Mapbasic.Exe" -NOSPLASH -D ""%1.mb""
if exist ""%1.err"" type ""%1.err""

Adjust the path.

*3*.
Enter in the Link_MapBasic.bat:

@Echo off
"C:\Program Files\MapInfo\mapbasic 4.5\Mapbasic.Exe" -NOSPLASH -L ""%1.mbp""
if exist ""%1.err"" type ""%1.err""

Adjust the path.

*4*.
Make two entries in the Tool Configuration under the menu: Advanced > Tool 
Configuration.

*5*.
Insert a new tool.

Enter in the command line:
"D:\Dev\UltraEdit_setup\Batch\Compile450.bat" "%p%n"

Adjust the path.

Set the Menu Item Name to
Compile MapBasic 4.5

Activate the following items:
-Save all files first
-Save Active files
-Output to List Box

*6*.
The command line for linking a project is:
"D:\Dev\UltraEdit_setup\Batch\Link450.bat" "%rp%rn"

*7*.
Set the shortcut for compiling to ctrl+k and linking to ctrl+l.

This in done en menu Advanced > Configuration > Tab sheet Key Mapping
Select AdvancedUserTool1 fom the list and Assign the shortcut to ctrl k
Do the some for AdvancedUserTool2 iwth ctrl l

*8*.
Create a new txt file called wordlist and add the text:

/L12 "MapBasic" Line Comment = ' File Extensions = MB DEF MBP WOR MNU LNG STR
/Delimiters = [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()-+=|\/{}[]:;"'<> ,   .?
/Function String = "^{%Function^}^{%Sub^}"

Add the autocomplete.txt for code completion:
In menu Advanced > Configuration > tabsheet Edit.
Set the field Auto Complete File to point to the autocomplete.txt file.
With ctrl+space you can now have code completion (not intelligent but 
alphabetich)

*11*
Have the 'Trim trailing spaces on file save' on in the Menu Advanced > 
Configuration > General,
else an 'exit sub' might be taken for a 'sub' when using the folder collapse of 
subs and function

---

Note: A MapBasic project and the associated UEStudio project most have the same 
name.
This is to be able to link a MapBasic project from UEStudio.

MI-L Georeferencing an image

[Carlo Fazio]

I'm trying to import an image that will be used as a background of the entire 
area that I've mapped. Can somebody direct me to the correct area/term in the 
MapInfo Help that will tell me the steps involved. Ideally, I would like to set 
4 reference points and then be able to stretch the map here and there at 
various reference points in order to make it match perfectly.
 
Thanks,

MI-L Mexico City road centre line data

[Claudia Ortiz]

Hello knowledgeable Listers!
I am new to MapInfo and a big fan of the mailing list!
I am a student (this means tiny budget) doing research about Mexico City. I
need a map over the street network of the city in order to process in some
academic software and do a big part of the analysis.
Anybody has any idea of where could I get road centre line data (preferably
free or cheap) to do this? I could build the map but it would take me ages.
In fact I have done and will still have to do it for several parts of the
city that I want to analyse in more detail, but if I have to do it all I
won't have any time left to do the actual research!
Thanks a lot,
Claudia.

Re: MI-L Problem while importing MIF file

[Derek_Snyder]

Ali,

The Text is defined by a bounding box.  In your case, it looks like the 
box is degenerate:

361070169570361550169570

While the 2 X values are different (361070 and 361550), the two Y values 
are identical (169570).  So, the bounding box is a line.  MI Pro will try 
to determine the size of the font that will fit inside the bounding box. 
This is how the Text becomes bigger as you zoom in and smaller as you zoom 
out.  In this case, the size of the font is 0, and I'm guessing no text is 
ever drawn.

MI-L Problem while importing MIF file


Hi list,

I am trying to create a MIF file and import it into MapInfo. In my MIF 
file
there are some polylines and texts. When I import it into Mapinfo, I can 
see
the polylines, but can's see the texts. Evenif I export the created tab 
file
from this MIF file, I can see the texts data in MIF file when I open it 
with
notepad. There should be something wrong I am doing, as I am not able to 
see
texts in the tab file. Following I have written a small part of my MIF 
file.
Does anyone know what the problem is? By the way, the way I placed the 
text
file, was to just add a constant value to the x, and y value of starting
line, then having y constent, the second x of text is just adding a value
like 100 to the beginning x of text.
I do not know if this kind of placing text in MIF has a problem, if it is
not a right way, I would like to know on how to place a text next to a x,y
point?

Thanks
Ali

RE: MI-L GPS for MapInfo

Hi:

I don't think it matters so long as the GPS is a Garmin or can emulate COM, and 
you have a serial or USB connection from the GPS to a suitable PC.

RE: MI-L From RGB to CMYK (MapInfo 7.8)

[Steve Zuckerman \(Maponics\)]

An easy way to convert(external to MI) between the two is by using the 
following freeware
tool 

Visual Color Picker 2.6, build: Feb  2 2005
Copyright (C) 2003, NOVOSIB Software Co.
Visual Color Picker 2.6 is FREE for personal use.
http://www.linxexplorer.com/download.html

We will often define a color based on its CMYK in color picker or Photoshop and 
then
reassign MI color values to match enabling us to control color in our printed 
products.

Thanks,
   Steve

Great detective work!  I went through all my include mb's and found

I'm sure your right as we autoload the distance calculator.  
Thanks so much!

Steve, 

I guess it's coming from one of the MapBasic programs you've got running
through the Tool Manager.  Out of curiosity I searched the code samples
that are supplied with MapBasic and it looks like the DistanceCalc tool
contains some source code contained in a 'DialogFunctions.mb' module.
Do you have this tool set to autorun every time you start MapInfo?  Line
65 is actually within a SelChangeHandler procedure so it'll be called
every time the selection changes, even if you aren't using the
DistanceCalc tool at the time (I think that's right?).

Obliviously, other people may have given their source code the same name
so it's conclusive proof that it's this tool!

Re: MI-L Problem while importing MIF file

[Data Directions]

Ali,

I suspect that your text is coming in as a "white" colour and thus you do
not see it.

I'd change the text colour in the following manner. Once your MIF file has
been imported, execute the following SQL (in the "where" clause)

str$(obj) = "text"

This will select all text objects.

Then make the layer editable, click on the Text Style icon (on the drawing
toolpad) and choose a colour for the text.

The text will then be visible, and you should then save the table.

Regards,

Bill

Re:: MI-L Problem while importing MIF file

[Nigel James]

Hi Ali

Text objects use 2 coord pairs - X1,Y1 and X2,Y2, defining the rectangle 
containing the text. In your example you have the same value for Y1 and Y2, so 
the text has effectively no height and so does not appear.  The difference 
between Y1 and Y2 determines the text size, so you need to use a value for Y2 
which is the map scale height of the text you need.

To find a suitable difference to use, create a new table and open as a mapper, 
set the map scale to the scale you will be using for your map data and use the 
text tool to create a few text objects at varying point sizes (include the size 
in the label, such as "TEXT 10", "TEXT 12", etc., so you can see in the mif 
file which object is which) . Export the file as a mif and open it in notepad 
to see the difference in the Y1 and Y2 values for the text size you want to use,
then set the Y2 value to:

Y1 + difference

each time.

regards

Nigel

MI-L Problem while importing MIF file

[Ali Zolfaghari]

Hi list,

I am trying to create a MIF file and import it into MapInfo. In my MIF file
there are some polylines and texts. When I import it into Mapinfo, I can see
the polylines, but can's see the texts. Evenif I export the created tab file
from this MIF file, I can see the texts data in MIF file when I open it with
notepad. There should be something wrong I am doing, as I am not able to see
texts in the tab file. Following I have written a small part of my MIF file.
Does anyone know what the problem is? By the way, the way I placed the text
file, was to just add a constant value to the x, and y value of starting
line, then having y constent, the second x of text is just adding a value
like 100 to the beginning x of text.
I do not know if this kind of placing text in MIF has a problem, if it is
not a right way, I would like to know on how to place a text next to a x,y
point?

Thanks
Ali

RE: MI-L Error - dialogfunctions.mb:65 Subscript out of range

[Driver, Greg 9434]

Steve,

I guess it's coming from one of the MapBasic programs you've got running
through the Tool Manager.  Out of curiosity I searched the code samples that
are supplied with MapBasic and it looks like the DistanceCalc tool contains
some source code contained in a 'DialogFunctions.mb' module.  Do you have
this tool set to autorun every time you start MapInfo?  Line 65 is actually
within a SelChangeHandler procedure so it'll be called every time the
selection changes, even if you aren't using the DistanceCalc tool at the
time (I think that's right?).

Obliviously, other people may have given their source code the same name so
it's conclusive proof that it's this tool!

Hello,
I get this error from time to time and have not idea where it is coming from
as I do not have an MB by that name.
 
(dialogfunctions.mb:65) Subscript out of range.
 
Anyone else getting this error?
