MI-L Customising Quick Start Dialog Box
Hi Listers, I would like to know if I can add some options of my own to the Quick Start Dialog Box. If so, is it possible to use Mapbasic to do it? Alternatively, I could create my own version. However, I'm not sure how I would recall each user's mapinfow.wor and their last used workspace. Does anyone have any advice on doing this given that in Win2000 each user has their own profile in the Documents & Settings folder?

RE: MI-L Oracle Spatial Objects
Hi to Pablo, Gilbert & Ake, and Keith, See if you can get a copy of "Oracle Spatial User's Guide and Reference Rel 9.2" (Part A96630-01). This gives examples of how to get objects into Oracle Spatial using 9i's SQL code. It does support circles, you just cannot load them as such from MapInfo. This is the code for a rectangle (sect 2.3.1): INSERT INTO table VALUES( attribute1, attribute2, MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY( 2003, NULL, NULL, MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 1003, 3) MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(1,1 5,7) ) ); To insert a circle, MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY() needs 3 co-ordinates from the circumference.

Re: MI-L Georeferencing OSGB map tiles
Hi Russell If you have the .tab files from OS, I'd have thought that they were already georeferenced. To check, open the tab files in Notepad and see if they look similar to this: !table !version 300 !charset WindowsLatin1 Definition Table File "sk50ne.tif" Type "RASTER" (455000,31) (0,0) Label "Pt 1", (46,31) (7874,0) Label "Pt 2", (455000,305000) (0,7874) Label "Pt 3", (46,305000) (7874,7874) Label "Pt 4" CoordSys Earth Projection 8, 79, "m", -2, 49, 0.9996012717, 40, -10 Units "m" If your selection of tiles are all adjacent to each other the co-ordinates should match together. To view all the tiles together, open their .tab files and use LAYER CONTROL from the MAP menu command to compile them in a single map window by using ADD. To save repeating this porcess every time, the tiles need to be saved as a seamless layer. Look in the help system to find out how to do this.

Re: MI-L MBOs
Hi Nichola, You wrote: I'm still relatively new to all this MapBasic code, but i'm creating some code, when I compile it, it doesn't make an MBX it makes an MBO, I can't understand why its referring to this. I can't find the line/s of code which are making the code create this MBO. Below is a section from the MapBasic User Guide that descibes MBOs (see page Chapter 3, page 36). The section that probably applies to you is in bold. Note the extension on the filename; MapBasic object files have the file extension .mbo. MapBasic creates an object file when you compile a single module that is part of a multiple-module project. Whenever you choose Project > Compile Current File, MapBasic tries to compile the current file into an executable application file (ending with .mbx). However, if the program file contains calls to functions or procedures that are not in the file, MapBasic cannot create an .mbx file. In this case, MapBasic assumes that the program is part of a larger project. MapBasic then builds an object file (.mbo) instead of an executable file (.mbx). MapBasic also creates an object file whenever the module that you are compiling does not have a Main procedure. Ian
Re: MI-L string expression
Hi Alistair The combination of the functions Mid$(), Len() and Instr() will help solve your problem. For example given Mytxt = "2105 ALBANY CREEK" the statement Mid$( Mytxt , Instr(1, Mytxt , " ") +1, Len(Mytxt)) will return "ALBANY CREEK". Instr(1, Mytxt , " ") returns the position of " " in Mytxt starting with the 1st character. Len(Mytxt) returns the number of characters in Mytxt. Mid$( Mytxt , Instr(1, Mytxt , " ") +1, Len(Mytxt)) returns the range of characters defined by the other 2 functions. The following statement will then replace the contents of the table. Update Mytable Set MyCol = mid$( MyCol, instr(1, MyCol, " ")+1, len(MyCol)) Ian

Re: MI-L Selecting a Random Sample from a Table
John, The code to populate a column with random numbers is: Update MyTable Set RandCol = rnd(1) where rnd(1) is the function that generates a random number (0 < n < 1). You may also need to use the Randomize command: "The Randomize statement "seeds" the random number generator so that later calls to the Rnd( ) function produce random results. Without this statement before the first call to Rnd( ), the actual series of random numbers will follow a standard list. In other words, unless the program includes a Randomize statement, the sequence of values returned by Rnd( ) will follow the same pattern each time the application is run. The Randomize statement is only needed once in a program and should occur prior to the first call to the Rnd( ) function. If you include the With clause, the seed parameter is used as the seed value for the pseudorandom number generator. If you omit the With clause, MapBasic automatically seeds the pseudo-random number generator using the current system clock. Use the With clause if you need to create repeatable test scenarios, where your program generates repeatable sequences of "random" numbers." MapBasic Manual.

Stephen, A basic adjacency matrix can be created using a sequence of sql commands to update columns in a table. However, there is a limit of 250 columns which may not be enough for all the divisions in Wales. The table would need to contain a logical column for each division. The following code shows how to update that column: create a counter variable dim i as smallint create an alias variable to refer to the table's columns dim colref as alias create an object variable to use in the sql below dim adjobj as object set initial value of counter and first ( logical ) column, eg zon1 i = 1 colref = zon+i Start loop select region select * from WelshDivisions where rowid = i into target assign selected table object to variable object adjobj = target.obj Select regions adjacent to variable object but excluding itself select * from WelshDivisions where rowid <> i and obj intersects adjobj into adjzons For selected adjacent regions set logical column to true Update adjzons Set colref = 1 Update variables i = i + 1 colref = zon+i Repeat loop If you have more than 250 regions then you'll have to use a file rather than a table to record the adjacency flag.

Hi Nick, >>> I guess a work around would be using SQL to create a new table of frequency counts within specified intervals, then use a "column" graph to plot the results - but the SQL to do that is well beyond me! The SQL to create binned data isn't too difficult. The following query creates a table with ranges 0-<10, 10-<20, 20-<30 etc based on column ColN: Select ColN \ 10 * 10 "Binned_data", Count(*) from My_Source_Table group by "Binned_data" order by "Binned_data" into "My_Binned_Table" "Binned_data" is a derived variable used for grouping and sorting based on MapInfo's integer division operator "\", a shorter version of int(ColN / 10) * 10.

Re: [MI-L] Strangely Visible Outlines.
Andy, I've experienced this and if I've interpreted your question correctly, you will be using version 8? The solution is described below and was sent to me by MapInfo support Europe. " In version 8.0 of MapInfo Professional we enhanced our support for bivariate thematic maps and introduced the option to 'Replace Layer Styles'. When this option is selected the layer(s) under the thematic map are not drawn, if this option is checked the underlying layer is drawn regardless of whether it is set to visible or not in the Layer Control. Therefore to get your layer to display correctly, go to Options > Preferences > Map Window and check the option to 'Draw layers under themes'. This will then ensure that the 'Replace layer styles' option in the thematic options is unselected. Therefore when you turn off your base layer only your thematic map is displayed."

Re: [MI-L] Coordinate Display or Extraction Tool
Title: Coordinate Display or Extraction Tool Frank, Your description of the problem is a little ambiguous so I may not have the correct solution.

If this is the case then you will find the co-ordinates by opening the workspace file in Notepad or a similar editor.

[MI-L] Problem with parameters in Sub
Hi,
I'm having some difficulty passing parameters in a Sub procedure.
The MapBasic help gives the following as a example of using a sub procedure. It includes a value "2" as a parameter.
Declare Sub Cube(ByVal original As Float, cubed As Float)
.
.
Call Cube( 2, result)
I've adapted this to pass some text values for a table name and some column titles:
Declare Sub Table_to_Array( byval sTabname as string, sCol_1 as string, sCol_2 as string, sType as string)
.
.
Call Table_to_Array("T_Usrn", "street_text", "street_reference_number", "Streets")
The outcome is an error on compilation stating:
Found [street_text] while searching for [An identifier]
Where am I going wrong?

RE: [MI-L] area calculation discrepancies
Cathy & Vick, I have come across this problem too and it seems to re-occur from time to time. Having discussed this with a my surveying colleague we'd offer the following observations: MapInfo doesn't calculate the area of a circle, it converts it to an inscribed polygon with 101 sides which produces a underestimate as Vick points out. We got a figure of 3,139,566.7 There are also problems with rectangles. Again MapInfo will not calculate the area of a rectangle object it has to be converted to a polygon, but this is less problematic. Nevertheless, even with a non-earth projection MapInfo returns a value of 4,000,000.5 sq m for a square of side 2000m. My colleague tells me a similar problem can occur with AutoCAD and suggests the cause of the error is due to the method of triangulation. IF MapInfo uses triangulation with isosceles triangles then there would be small excess slithers at either end causing an overestimation this time. This method is popular because the area of the triangles can be easily calculated with 0.5 * base * height. Hope this sheds a little more light on the subject. Ian Hello Cathy,I'll bow to Clifford's extensive knowledge on this subject, but in terms ofusing MapInfo Pro, there are a few things to be aware off.The British national grid system is indeed a Transverse Mercator projectionwhich give a Cartesian coordinate space to work with. That is to say, it'sjust a simple grid with parallels lines in x/y, or Eastings/Northings, andperpendicular axis. Assuming you're happy to accept the errors associatedwith this projection (which is a 2D simplification of the 3D earth), thendistances and areas can just be calculated using high/secondary school levelgeometry. For a couple of major releases now (I forget exactly when),MapInfo Pro has distance and area functions which are explicitly Cartesian. As an experiment, I made a new table in British NG with a "MyArea" integerfield, set MapInfo Pro to Cartesian (Map > Options...), added a 1km radiuscircle and then did a Table > Update Column with CartesianArea(obj, "sq m").Now, the results should be 3141592 sq m(rounded down) from pi * 1000^2, butI get 3139553. This is closer that you got - presumably because you did notuse Cartesian areas, but is still about 0.65% off. I've noted a few problemsin Pro's calculations over the years (especially with very large polygons),but there doesn't seem to be any reason why simple geometry in Cartesianspace should be wrong.If I recall correctly, didn't some MI-L/MapInfo user in Sweden(?) end up incourt a few years ago to explain why an area calculation (pre-Cartesiansupport) from Pro was wrong?Regards,Warren VickEuropa Technologies Ltd., U.K.http://www.europa-tech.com-Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED][mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Clifford JMugnierSent: 24 August 2006 17:23To: COLDREY, Cathy (Bristol)Cc: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.comSubject: Re: [MI-L] area calculation discrepanciesDear Cathy:What you are experiencing is the distortion present in a conformalcoordinate system. The British National Grid is based on thefully-conformal Gauss-Krueger Transverse Mercator projection. That type ofprojection preserves shapes and angles, but not areas. There are twosources of systematic error associated with a conformal projection such asthe Transverse Mercator. Those two errors are the "convergence angle"correction needed to tranform between Grid Azimuth and True Azimuth and the"scale factor" correction to tranform between Grid Distances and TrueDistances.Your current problem is related to the latter of the two systematic errorsthat involves the scale factor at a point correction factor. This is solvedthrough an analytic function, and I do not know if such a facility isavailable in the MapInfo package. It certainly is in the online as well asthe downloadable free software available directly from the Ordnance Survey.Recalling that Area = Length X Width, note that the scale factor you obtainfor say, a point near the center of your area of interest needs to bedivided by the length as well as the width of your area. Since it iscircular, then just divide the Grid Area by the SQUARE OF THE SCALE FACTOR.That will yield a "true" area as close as possible to theoretical withoutcomputing the whole process on the surface of the ellipsoid of revolution -a most difficult process.This sort of correction process is a daily chore for a Chartered Surveyor inthe UK.
