Greetings, List. Season's greeting to you all. Does anyone know of an interface between MapInfo and Business Objects? (I checked the Archives. There was one identical, unanswered query from January 99. Maybe something has changed since then?) TIA to all responders. Best regards, Alex

Hi, I'm sorry if I'm not writing to the right place but I discovered a link to this site on MapInfo's web site. Please ignore this mail if I'm in error. I was hoping that you may be able to help me with a problem I'm having with MapInfo. I've searched MapInfo's KB for a solution to no avail. I'm

Re: MI Create Text in a Layout

MI SDTS Translation

1999-12-23 Thread Frank Warmerdam
Folks, In response to recent discussions about the need for SDTS to MIF (or TAB) translation, I have decided to write a free sdts2mif translator. I am not normally a Mapinfo user, and so have a limited knowledge of Mapinfo, mostly garnered in the past from work on mif and TAB translators. As

It costs way more than it should (close to a thousand) but is quiet good, once you have a few quirks figured out (for example, "promote topology" actually keeps it the same and "maintain topology" changes lines to surfaces, etc.). Can't compare it to Arcview, since I have no experience on that.

MI Mysterious coordinate system

1999-12-23 Thread Alex Eshed
Season's Greetings, List. Here in Israel the use of WGS 84, Zone 36 Northern Hemisphere, is pretty common. Digitized maps (from paper maps) show a high level of accuracy compared to ground surveying data in this projection. However, GPS (differential) readings are off by a few dozen meters.

1999-12-23 Thread Dan_Page
I have a question about graphic packages. So far we have been able to do all of our printing directly from MapInfo to our HP Deskjet 1120c. However we are also becoming interested in producing quality output maps and images for printing on larger then 11x17 format. After downloading the AdobePS

Hi, From my tests so far with fairly large datasets it works very well and VERY quickly. We compile geological maps by digitizing, cleaning, polygonizing and attributing. Pro Geometry Manager builds a 7000 polygon geological map from the linework in a couple of minutes on my PII-266 with 128MB

RE: MI Brazil Projection Details

1999-12-23 Thread Clifford J. Mugnier
Scott, This is out of my "scale" of expertise, but by any chance could this sheet be cut on the IMW (International Map of the World) format? If it is, it's not a Lambert but a Lallemond Polyconic - infinite number of standard parallels. The math is in Snyder's USGS Bible. Merry Christmas!
