Re: [MI-L] new app "Project Grande"?
There is a huge gap between supporting the small MapBasic subset needed for workspace support, and support for the full MapBasic language as we know it today. As I understand it, there are fundamental differences in the COM and .Net data models (selections, thematics etc.), resulting in many MB commands being "wrong" in the context of the new data model. How this can be reconciled remains to be seen. It will most likely only be a subset of MapBasic that'll be supported in Grande, rendering many mbx's invalid. The better option - imho - is for MapInfo to open source MapBasic, opening up for possible 3rd party enhancements. But is MapInfo willing to do that ? Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars I. Nielsen GisPro Peter Horsbøll Møller wrote: At MapWorld last week they showed a version of Grande that was able to open a workspace (.WOR), that contains MapBasic commands. So they have already started implementing some sort of MapBasic support into the Grande Project, which will be the next generation desktop GIS from MapInfo. ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l

[MI-L] Slightly OT - image rectification
Hi List! I have a question which is slightly off topic, but may be of some general interest nevertheless. What is the best way to recalculate raster images to another system, so that they can be used in applications that rely on one insertion point only, like world files or geotiffs do? I need to be able to use local swedish coordinate systems (treated as non earth systems) as well as regional or national swedish systems which are earth systems. MapInfo has a very good coverage of Swedish systems. I have looked at some applications but they fail to support non earth systems, or swedish systems. I have no need for the Guam, Easter Island or Oman systems.

re: [MI-L] Slightly OT - image rectification
Hello Mats, Have you looked at our Geographic Transformer applications? We have two versions that might be of interest to you, both apps offer an evaluation. The full Transformer standalone application georeferences/reprojects/mosaics/tiles images to pretty much whatever projection you need, if there's a coordinate system not in our database, new definitions are easily added. Transformer supports MrSID, ECW, Jpeg2000, GeoTiff/Tiff, Jpeg, and other formats. Evaluation download: http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/products/transformer.php?op=download&file=212 We also offer a lighter weight Geographic Transformer Extension for MapInfo Pro that allows you to quickly reproject images to a new output image within MapInfo itself. Evaluation download: http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/products/transformerext.php?op=download&file=189 If I may be of any assistance, feel free to contact me.Regards,Sam KnightApplications SpecialistBlue Marble Geographics[EMAIL PROTECTED]Ph: 800-616-2725 ext. 24Ph: 207-582-6747 ext. 24Fax: 207-582-7001http://www.bluemarblegeo.com andhttp://www.beyondgeo.com --- Original Message --- From: Mats Elfström<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com Date: 12-May-2006 14:20:57 CEDT Subject: [MI-L] Slightly OT - image rectification Hi List!I have a question which is slightly off topic, but may be of some general interest nevertheless.What is the best way to recalculate raster images to another system, so that they can be used in applications that rely on one insertion point only, like world files or geotiffs do?I need to be able to use local swedish coordinate systems (treated as non earth systems) as well as regional or national swedish systems which are earth systems.

[MI-L] Moving an object and it gets duplicated.
Hey List My problem is that I was moving objects around and somehow I ended up with 3 recs the same (one hidden underneath another, such that there only appeared to be 2). At the time I probably had the Info dialog open, as I was testing my software's ability to change the lat/long integer fields, according to the x/y whefre the object ended up, at Save time. I have not been able to reproduce this "glitch", notr did I notice when it happened. Anyone got any ideas how this can happen 'ppreciate it Terry ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
Re: [MI-L] Chinese Lambert Conformal Conic Projections
Dear Barbara, one of my Chinese master students, Li Hui MSc, told me: As I know: In China, the basical scale map include:1:5000, 1:10T, 1:25T ,1:50T，1:100T，1:250T，1:500T，1:1000T And, if the scale is bigger than 500T, uses Gauss-Kruger projection if smaller than 500T, uses Lambert Conformal Conic projection, and smaller than 500T on the sea, uses Mercator projection.

I have downloaded some of the CIESIN data and it's in Lambert Conformal Conic projection. The readme file includes the following: COORDINATE SYSTEM All coverages are in LAMBERT CONFORMAL CONIC PROJECTION with two standard parallel latitudes: 25.00N and 47.00N. The central meridian is 110.00E and the latitude of projection's origin is 10.00N. The units are meters. If anyone has the details to edit the mapinfo.prj file it would be very greatly appreciated.
