MI Re: MapInfo and Oracle8i

1999-12-09 Thread Andrew_Dressel
I am currently assessing the feasibility of moving our MapInfo dataset to an Oracle8i back-end database. Does anybody out there have any experience of using Oracle8i to store GIS data. Yes, we have, and quite a few of MapInfo's Partners in the UK have been trained on Oracle8i Spatial and

Pete/Marc (and all other listers), Thanks for your reply. I was aware of the rulertool, but I like to have the distance in a table or textfile. I know there is a distance function in MapInfo but I don't know how to use it. The MapInfo help says: Distance( num_x , num_y , num_x2 , num_y2 , str )

Dear Cassandra, As far as I know Cognos Visualiser uses MapX for displaying maps. In which case the .gst file is a metafile holding info on the MapInfo maps available for MapX. MapInfo 5.5 has a MapBasic tool for managing geosets (I think its already in 5.0 but I'm not sure). To my knowledge

MI RE: Image VS GRID?

1999-12-06 Thread Andrew Waltho
I agree with Charles. The only difference between an image and a grid in my view is that an image is usually constructed of a finer mesh of points (pixels), and then maybe not in the case of some LANDSAT imagery where the ground resolution is about 30m, and there are multiple instead of single z

MI: Re: Packing Tables

1999-12-02 Thread Paul Fildes
Thank you to all those who replied to my query of determining whether a table needs packing. I basically had two solutions, these being; 1) Fetch each record from the table. If a record is deleted then an error occurs when it is accessed. This can then taken as though a table would need packing.

To my knowledge georeg will not register this. You can however register it with a program like worldreg which uses the .tfw file. You can find that on the directionsmag tools site and it is a free version. The only thing you need to tell it is what projection to use (Since that is not a part

Hi Paul, Check out MapBasic Help for SEARCHINFO. They have a sample there that clicks on a point and gets Lat/Long [CommandInfo()]. When the user selects the tool on the dialog, you need to close the dialog down. When the selection is made, bring the dialog back and re-populate it with the

Thanks for posting this, Steve. As it so happens, a MapInfo partner mentioned the same issue at the Partner Conference! To some folks, the reason why this issue has not been addressed by 'bounding' the cosmetic layer may not be completely obvious. Currently, when the cosmetic layer is created,

We've had a nightmare being able to print out thematic grid maps from MapInfo 5.5 using a Hewlett Packard DesignJet 650C - i.e. nothing legible comes out the other end when before with v5.0 everything worked fine. This is probably due to the switch from 256-color to true-color in MI Pro 5.5.
