MI: rotated ellipses and moving nodes of polygons

I am trying to find solutions for two MI problems: 1) drawing ellipses under an angle (that is, how to create rotated elliptical buffers). Apparently, MI can only create horizontal or vertical ellipses. 2) an algorithm/code for moving nodes of adjacent polygons (that is, I want to change the sh

Antoine   This might not be the full solution your are looking for but it might be a work around.   With VM use the "region to grid function" and set the "grid cell size" to correspond to a pre selected thematic range value (this is the logical part). Once the grid is created within the regio

Hi David, I can think of three and a half solutions for you which I think you'll like with varying degrees of happiness. First is to perform a SQL selection that will result in the aggregate column Count. Be sure to group them by the postcode and add a column count. This will result in a br
