RE: [MI-L] Exporting map as bitmap
I'll give it a go with the layout window and turning on the layers I want when zoomed out. Thanks to all who have replied to me. I just got in to work to find several mails on the matter - I'll have a play with everyones ideas today. Thanks Tim -Original Message- From: Bill Thoen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 September 2006 16:03 To: Tim Smith Cc: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Subject: Re: [MI-L] Exporting map as bitmap What you should do is worry only about what the map looks like when printed at the scale you want, not what it looks like in the map window. A useful tool that allows you to switch between print view and full extents view is the MI Named Views tool. Turn off zoom layering and zoom to the full extent and save that view, then zoom in to different windows over your map and make sure the styles, labels, etc. all look good at the print scale. When satisfied that it will look good, return to the full extent view and save window as with the increased resolution. You should get good results that way. Tim Smith wrote: Sorry Bill, I forgot to answer your original question... When you Save Window As you get a chance to set the width and height of the output window. If you zoom out to show everything you want, and then save the window as 4 or 10 or whatever times larger than the default do the features render as you want? No, the street-level maps aren't there because they get removed when I zoom out.

If you zoom out to show everything you want, and then save the window as 4 or 10 or whatever times larger than the default do the features render as you want? In newer versions of MI, you can also set the dpi, but saving the window as larger sizes does essentially the same thing. For example if your default window size is say, 3 inches wide, and the (usual) Windows dpi is 96, then your output bitmap will be 288 pixels wide. However, if you save that same window at 9.375 inches, you effectivly bump up the resolution to 300 dpi.

When zoomed in to the correct level (where street-names appear), I can only get about 500m on the screen. If I change the zoom level to get more of the map, it changes the feature appearance. Also the size of the layout window is determined by the printer, which in my case is A4! Perhaps there's a way to set dpi, without changing the zoom level. I've no idea what to do next.

Use the layout, put your map on it and export your image from there. The screen is limited in size but the layout can be huge like 36X 28 as an example Vs a 15 inches screen! You can even set a layout with multiple pages and resize it if you really want a lot of details... Save as .png, the file size will be small, jpeg are good for images with lots of colors or shade, png is more efficient with file with few colors like a map.

The 'Save Window As' option is no good as I need to export a large area, and when I zoom in to street level (which is what I want to export), I obviously only see a small part of the large area I want to export. I'm using the UTM WGS84 projection and datum. What I'd like to do is specify an easting and northing and width and height, a zoom level (so I can choose street-level) and an output resolution. I might be asking for a lot, but how else can you export a street-level bitmap? The 'Save Window As' option is also limited to around 9,500 pixels in any dimension. Can anyone help me?

[MI-L] Producting FGDC Metadata with MapInfo
I've been asked if I can provide fgdc metadata from my MapInfo Pro 8.5 tables. However, I can't seem to find a way to do this. MapInfo mentions an MDBLauncer tool, but i can't find it and the manual and website and help file are all vague about it. Any help on this is very much appreciated. ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
[MI-L] Good/Bad Printers?
Hi People, I am working on a GIS implementation project in Samoa. Due to the remoteness of being stuck on a Pacific Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, all our equipment has to be imported from Australia, NZ or America. Unfortunately this means it is hard to select items without inspecting them first and with limited advise/support. MapInfo wont endorse a brand, so I was wondering if people have suggestions or comments on good Large Format Printers (we arent allowed to call them Plotters anymore!), which are compatible with MapInfo. At the moment we are looking at HP DesignJet 110/500/800 series, depending how much we can justify to spend.

RE: [MI-L] Good/Bad Printers?
Alex, Ive been using an HP 750C large format printer for years. Its built like a truck, and has held up well after literally thousands of large format prints. I have a suggestion, if youre operating on a limited budget. Theres a company here (in Birmingham, Alabama) that refurbishes and re-sells HP large format printers. Their website is: http://www.dasher.com/ You can buy HP large format stuff from them considerably cheaper than buying it new. I bought my 750C from them, and have only had to bring it back once for routine maintenance. Good luck.

Hi Bruce, The latest FME releases can load raster into Oracle Spatial. Wed be pleased to work with you to prototype a workflow if you are interested in pursuing that angle just let me know. Good luck!
