Sv: [MI-L] MapInfo to Arcview with style intact
Hi Tom! The shape file format is not designed to retain map styles (or coordinate system info for that matter). Therefore, it is not even in theory possible to transfer the native styles of MapInfo objects to a shape file. However, when ESRI discovered that people were using shape files for GIS data, they added a *.lyr file which is used as a template for object styles. Similarly, a *.prj file was added in order to hold information on projection and coordinate system. So, if you would want to truly convert tab to shape, the converter should a write a *.lyr file as well as a *.prj file along with the basic shape file set. But MapInfo and ArcGIS uses different color schemes, different line styles and region fills. You would need to make some kind of translation table to take care of that. The same goes for the spatial reference. They use different definitions for that as well. But I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm only pointing out the some of the considerations one has to make. Do share it with the list if you find out something useful. Regards, Mats.E ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
SV: [MI-L] Find closest region using buffer

Hi
Hayden,
I
think you should also start by checking that the line object is not partly
within a region object from tblMapRef table. You can issue
the "Partly within" command similarly to your command below for
intersect.

MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.comEmne: [MI-L] Find closest region
using buffer
Hi
All,
A little help in this area would
be greatly appreciated. I am trying to find the closest region to a line or
point, the line or point may lie within or outside the region. I have used the
buffer function to search out from the line or point. Have done this code for
lines, however doesnt seem to pick anything up.
Run Command("Select * From
tblWaterLinesTemp Where Asset_ID = " + Chr$(34) + tblWaterLinesTemp.Asset_ID +
Chr$(34) + " Into tblTemp")
'Find map
reference
str_Map_Reference =
""
For y = 1 to 5 Step
1
o_buff = Buffer(tblTemp.obj,20,y,"m")
Select * from tblMapRef Where tblTemp.Obj intersects o_buff into
tblMapRefTemp
If (TableInfo(tblMapRefTemp, TAB_INFO_NROWS) > 0)
Then
'This will be the closest Map Reference Grid object closest to the
geometry
str_Map_Reference = tblMapRefTemp.LCC_Map_Ref
Exit For
End If
Close Table tblMapRefTemp
Next
Regards,
Hayden

[MI-L] GIS terminology; Was: MapInfo to Arcview with style intact
While discussing converting Mapinfo data to Arview... As the world becomes more familiar with GIS, it's obvious in my area that ESRI "appears" to be leading the way in that, everyone involved with GIS at the basic desktop use level refers to "shape" files when requesting any data. "Would like to request a copy blah blah blah of your "shape" files..." "When submitting your boundary "shape" file..." "Can we get a copy of your centerline "shape" file?" Outside of the fact, I know many of the people requesting this data are using Arcview, many obviously think that GIS data and "SHAPE" files are one in the same. Is the term "shape file" become the defacto moniker for GIS, object or spatial data?

RE: [MI-L] MapInfo to Arcview with style intact
Tom I remember swapping notes with Russell Lawley a year or more ago about this subject, and downloaded his "Qik_avlreader" tool. That got me started on what I wanted to do, but I didn't produce any sort of a tool that would be useful to you. as I recall, I did a lot of "translation" by hand (stuffing things into a .WOR file). What you're asking is sort of the reverse of what my task was then - you don't have the .AVL file from an ESRI dataset. Possibly your enquiry will elicit more information, but the problems (differences between the way the 2 companies do things) is an awkward one. most people would give up in frustration. I guess that's why Safe Software makes a buck out of FME.

[MI-L] Mapinfo capabilities
Hi, We see other companies bringing different GIS packages to infrastructure / utility mapping. Esri has solutions for this. So does Intergraph and Autocad. I keep seing marketing strategies offered by mapinfo but more going towards business location. (marketing, banking, insurance, etc..). I wonder if there's something, a MI add-on or a application that gives more attention to industrial / municipal / infrastructure GIS. I hope that somebody can shed some light on this.

RE: [MI-L] Distance calc mbx
Looking at the Distance Calculator source that comes with MapBasic 8.5, I notice that the Distance Calculator is merely a wrapper around a single call to a single statement you could type into the MapBasic window. Thus, only a future version of MapInfo Pro can add any significant optimization to the process, if at all. A call to "Set Table FastEdit On", as suggested by Peter, might help a little, but you're creating an O(N) optimization in an operation that's O(N^2) at best (and I fear much worse with polylines and region objects). The underlying command allows you to specify minimum and maximum distance criteria (I hope that means MapInfo uses the tables' spatial indexes), but the criteria don't appear in the Distance Calculator dialog.

RE: [MI-L] SV: Distance calc mbx
I reduced the records first to 40K. Switched to a different machine. It ran overnight and was finished before morning. I don't know if: A. The machine made a difference or B. If the progress bar was really accurate since I stopped the mbx before it finished. I believe we are going to use MapExtreme to calculate the distances when we move to the actual application. I was just using the desktop to see if it would work. Also, we need a more specific distance than just every record in one table comparing to every record in another table. I believe Extreme will allow us to program more functionality.

[MI-L] Setting the Map Window size
Hello, In MapBasic, how do I set the coordinates of the current Map Window (FrontWindow). I have the values llX, llY and urX, urY with me and would like to set the current window coordinates and also zoom (or set the size) of the window to this value. I tried the few options in the Set Map command but am not clear how the inter-play between the units in the map window / workspace etc work. This my code fragment that I used: > dX = xMax - xMin > dY = yMax - yMin > > cenPtX = xMin + (0.5 * dX) > cenPtY = yMin + (0.5 * dY) > > Set Map > Window FrontWindow() > Center (cenPtX, cenPtY) > Distance Units "m" > Zoom dX Units "m" Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. - Regards - Rakesh Rao [ rakesh.rao(at)4d-technologies.com ] - Four Dimension Technologies [www.4d-technologies.com] - Get GeoTools, Work smarter: www.4d-technologies.com/geotools - Free Lisp downloads @ TechCenter: www.4d-technologies.com/techcenter ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
