[MI-L] SUM: MAPBASIC Object or not Object?
Thanks to all who have replied I've found out what my mistake is - a bit of a compound of errors I'm afraid. Firstly, I put the if statement the wrong side of the fetch first statement which gave me the argument 2 error, then I had a Print line that was just print the table name, which I had missed hence the blank line with just the tablename on it. DOH!! I think it must have been the end of a hard week - they were two stupid errors. Many thanks again Nicki Previous Message: Hi I have what I believe is an object in a layer - I think it's a line - if I query it in the Maspbasic window in MI with select objectinfo (obj,1) from table_name then look at the selection table I see object type 3 ie a line. If I use the following line in some Mapbasic code which interrogates the same layer: If ObjectInfo(ColAlias, OBJ_INFO_TYPE) = 4 or ObjectInfo(ColAlias, OBJ_INFO_TYPE) = 7 then Then I get the following error when it gets to the object that I believe is a line: (Blah.mb:123)ObjectInfo: argument 2 out of range If I write what is happening out to a text file ie Print #1, (temptablearray(i) + + colname++colAlias + + ObjectInfo(ColAlias, OBJ_INFO_TYPE)) where colAlias is the Alias of the column name: ColAlias = Temptabname . Colname I get the following: Query134 Query134 object Polyline 4 The top line above is the line that I think is causing the problem, the second line above shows a result that works. Is this line an object or not and can I do anything to avoid the out of range error? I hope this all makes sense!!

Ang. [MI-L] How to use .TAB files to identify corresponding workspace?
Hi Matt! The only file in a MapInfo tab fileset which is referenced in a workspace file is the *,tab file itself, but with no extension. For example Open Table C:\blah blah...\mytabfile As mytabfile will look for the file mytabfile.tab in the given path The tab file is a kind of pointer to the other files needed to complete the data set. Note that the data set can be a raster file, an excel file or even a shape file, and not only a proprietary MapInfo geodatabase. That said, what you need to look for is the tabfile 'mytabfile' in your workspace files, You can use the F3 search function in Windows Explorer, point it at the right disk or folder and look for *.wor files containing 'mytabfile'. Now, this may not work at first because of a known bug in XP. The extension 'wor' may not be known to XP in the sense it needs to be known for an in-file string search. Microsoft has suggested a fix for this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309173 Qualified text editors, such as UltraEdit use to have a function to search for strings within files on disk. Coupled with a replace function, it is one of my tools to repair workspaces where tabfiles have been relocated.

Title: Message Matt, I'd do it the other way round - see if any of your workspaces reference the tabfiles.

RE: [MI-L] Creating grid of points
Title: RE: [MI-L] Creating grid of points Hi Gordon, I have done this excercise before using postal code densities per km². What I required was a point at every 1km spacing. xxx,000E xxx,000N To overcome the issue I used a semi manual process. Create a grid using GridMaker from ToolManager. but instead of using xxx,000E: xxx,000N use the centres xxx,500E:xxx,500N respectively. This will create millions of 1km² polygons to which I added the 2 Fields CentreX and CentreY. You can now do an update column with the function CentroidX and CentroidY. These will be at xxx,000E etc. Now all you need to do is export the file to .txt and open as points using the CentreX and CentreY as the coordinates. Delet all unwanted points. Stephen J.

Re: [MI-L] Creating grid of points
Hi Gordon, You're almost there, but I'd transform the closed regions created in Gridmaker (with 100m spacing) into points using a bit of mapbasic code in the Mapbasic window: 1. Open your closed region grid table into a map window 2. Open the mapbasic window (Options Show MapBasic window) 3. Make sure Mapinfo works in the same coordinate system as your table by typing the following text into the MapBasic window on a blank line and pressing return (replace YourTableName with the name of the grid table): set coordsys table YourTableName 4. Replace each region with a point, offset from its centre by 100m in the x and y directions by typing the following text into the MapBasic window on a blank line and pressing return (replace YourTableName with the name of the grid table): update YourTableName set obj = createpoint(centroidx(obj)-100,centroidy(obj)-100) 5. Save the table - it should now show points at the 100m grid intersections.

I don't think there is any way of inserting any type of data into a browser(of a table) without either making a field that actually has the metadata or making the name of the table contain the metadata. There are mapbasic solutions for popups that would extract the true metadata from a table(assuming it was recorded into the table) and how it to the user but there is no way of integrating that information into a browser window without doing something like in the first sentence, above, that I am aware of. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 9:04 AM To: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: [MI-L] metadata tool Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyones knows of a metadata tool that tags create/edit date into the browser.

RE: [MI-L] CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 0
It is true that datum 0 means no datum. However, datum 0 will behave as a sphere _only_ if it is used by itself. When used with another table in a map window, the map will project using the datum of the other table, even when the other table is projected. If you use Map-Options to explicitly select Latitude/Longitude without a datum, the map will stubbornly stick to the other datum! Try this using World (which uses the Robinson projection) and your datum 0 table. Because of this, if you use File-Save Copy As and save the table as latitude/longitude using a named datum, MapInfo (6.5 and 8.5) will not change the table's coordinates. I was able to change the intrinsic datum of a table (lat/lon in datum 33) by using File-Save As twice (first to datum 0, then to the other datum), and verified it by exporting the two files to MIF and running a file compare in TextPad. The only difference between the two MIF files was the datum number in the Coordsys clause. (saving to datum 0 really did change it to datum 0).

In other words you are using spherical co-ordinates on what is assumed to be a perfect sphere. The latitude - longitude reference system obviously works on any spherical object with an axis of rotation, whether it is the earth, mars, or a football. You should find out what is the correct datum for your data and then replace the 0 in the co-ord sys statement with the correct number.

[MI-L] Centroids not Recentering
Hi All, I've been trying to write a tool that recenters polygons based on a user defined point. I've got it all figured out, except one strange problem. I've noticed the centroid of the polygons can shift during the recentering. I've tried the ConvertToPline, ConvertToRegion trick, but the centroid wont recenter if the original centroid (before polygon moving) is within the new bounds of the polygon. When I try to set the centroid to the user-defined point using the Alter Object command, I get an error that the point must be within the region. Argh! It's the point I used to recenter, so it's right at the center of the region!! Any thoughts?

RE: [MI-L] RowID question [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Percy, Unfortunately you can't select the ROWID "column".You have to update a column with the ROWID value and then use this static column instead. You can however use the ROWID to select certain records, by adding the condition to the where clause Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

RE: [MI-L] RowID question [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Thanks Peter, I have been getting around it by calling the RowID from the temporary table Commandinfo(CMD_INFO_ROWID) when I need it for my variable but it would be nice to be able to simply select the RowID into the query as a column. But it looks like it cant be done without creating a table and updating a column.

RE: [MI-L] Symbol identification
Mike, There is an unlimited number of symbols availeble in MapInfo. Just consider the combination possibilities between the 32 different symbols in MapInfo 3.0 Symbols, a number of million colours and sizes between 3 and 72. And this is just one set of symbols. When you look in the Symbol dialog, you can see maybe 30 different symbol fonts containing any number of symbols. But in the MapInfo Professional User Guide 8can be found on the MapInfo installation cd and for MapInfo 8.5 in the document folder in the installation folder) you can in Appendix E MapInfo Map Interchange Format - MapInfo 8.5 - find a list of symbols available in the MapInfo 3.0 Symbols. You could also create you own list in this way. 1. Create a new mappable table containing one column called NAME 2. Insert points into this table with the symbols that you like and need and add a description in the NAME column 3. With this SQL Select statement, you can get a list of NAMES and SYMBOLS from this table. You can copy the statement and execute it from the MapBasic window or just use the bold text and insert these into the SQL Select Dialog Select NAME, Str$(ObjectInfo(OBJ, 2) "SYMBOL" From SYMBOLTABLE Order By NAME Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.
