RE: MI-L Scalebar on Layout Utility: Att Jason Adams

Good day everyone- As far as the Scalebar tool is concerned, there have been no new versions of it in several years, simply because it worked as is. Jacques Paris was able to modify the base code to automatically calculate the scale of the frame in the layout window, and also improved the GUI,

This is true; thanks for pointing it out, I forgot to do so. (one may also go to NT4, if so desired, but in my opinion, that's a severe step backwards). However, not to start the OS war thread again, but in my humble opinion, you should probably be using WindowsNT or 2000 anyway, since its

Re: MI-L Node Thinning Algorithm

The 3-node colinear deviation looks at 3 successive nodes, and makes a triangle out of them. Drop a perpendicular line from the middle node down to the line joining the first and third nodes. If the distance of the perpendicular is less than the 3 node colinear value, then the middle point is

Re: MI-L MI 6.5 -Printing issues - problems

To understand why, you need to understand what a Microsoft Region is, which is different from a MapInfo Region. A MapInfo region is a series of nodes which, when traversed, define a closed area (or set of closed areas). The nodes are originally in the coordinate system of the table, but
