MI: FUTURE OF GIS

A while ago, I asked for some ideas on a paper for the future of GIS. A number of people sent some suggestions, and I promised to give it back to the list. Its fairly long, so read it only if you are in the mood. The views expressed were a result of a small amount of thought, some alcohol

Alan, I would suggest it is one or more of the DIP switches on your digitizer. There are user definable switches on digitizing tablet which let the user set up how the software interprets information from hardware an vice versa. Since you haven't said that you have changed anything on the

MI: FUTURE OF GIS -Reply

Robert listers I enjoyed reading your paper. The thought at the end was particularly appealing for two reasons: 1) the limitated 2Dness of most current GIS will not be acceptable in the future - especially if you play 3D games (or your kids do)! 2) more importantly, you have highlighted the

Importing ASCII raster files into MI

Dear All, Possibly the only problem is my minor capability in working with raster files in MI. A raster map in ASCII format (866 x 654 integer data points) was given to me. I just want to visualize the data after applying various filter algorithms to it. So does there a way exist in MI to

MI MM - reverse geocoding

All, Is there a way to use MapMarker to reverse geocode and give out zip+4 information given the facility's lat and long coordinates? I'd like to update the zip field and am confident of the lat and longs. To build a table of all possible zip+4 values and geocode that, is HUGE and time consuming.

Re: MI Print Int

You could try using Format$() function like for example: Update "table" Set WGS84_MIN_X = Format$( Str$(Int(WGS84_DEC_X)), "00") +"°"+Format$( Str$((WGS84_DEC_X-Int(WGS84_DEC_X))*60), "00.") Regards, Anssi - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Importing ASCII raster files into MI

If all you want to do is visualize it, one way that can be doen with MapInfo out of the box would be to simply import your pixel values as a table, create x, y coordinates where x = rowid mod 866, and y = fix(rowid / 654) (something like that; depends on the order your data is in), and then

RE: Registry setting to enhance MI Plotting

I do not know how exactly to change the location of spool directory. but you may directly spool to printer from printer properties -- spool setting --- directly to printer. I think that can solve the problem. From: "Lepage, Mike L (Mike)** CTR **" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Re: MI Updating a table text field

Hi Matt, After you select the relevant vectors, you can do a Table Update Column. For table to update use "selection". You would then type in the text you want in the expression builder window and then MapInfo would paste that text into all records that were selected. Cheers, Karl

RE: Registry setting to enhance MI Plotting

It sounds like you are using an HP 2500 series plotter??? Try obtaining the RTL driver for an HP2000. It allows for you to spool to a local hard drive in increments before sending the entire job to the plotter. Also try settiing the plotter resolution from best to normal or fast... Hope this
