Re: MI-L MapInfo file size limit

Hello Doug I am sorry if you were upset by my reply. The move to MasterMap includes a rich set of attribute data - but a large number of users ( the majority ) will still primarily be interested in using the maps for a reference to position their own layers. The rich attribution will help to sp

MI-L Sum: MI Pro 7.0 Unable to open .sid image.

Problem: After uninstalling MI Pro 6.5 and installing 7.0, I have encountered the following problem: Opening a MrSid raster (.sid) I receive a System Error: Floating-point exception: Invalid. I click on OK of the System Error and MI closes. I am running 98SE as my operating system. I can open

Re: MI-L MapX performance - Layer.AddFeature (#2)

Niklas, You need a valid Map object to start with. Either use the map object on a form (preferable as default properties are viewable/editable at design time) or create one. Then the attach should work. Phil. - Original Message - From: "Karlsson,Niklas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Philip Wa

RE: MI-L MapInfo file size limit

Bob try your sql queries on a 2gig dat file - its just half the story to draw the stuff! (often users dont even need/or want to draw anything - just query). This was my real general point. Users out there reading this list will think they can just throw everything in a huge pile and expect great

MI-L calling mapbasic from C++

Hi, Is it possible to call a MapBasic program function from within a DLL. The setup is the following. I have a DLL that exports a function that is called by a MapBasic function. The DLL invokes a dialog that receives input from the user. Based on the input, I would like to call a MapBasic functi

MI-L precision of a projection

I have used a table with the “Universal Transverse Mercator (WGS84) Zone 32 Northern Hemisphere (i.e. 8,104...) to build lines over region borders. I do that by extracting with ObjectNodeX..Y of 2 successive nodes coordinates and using the creatline() function. All that is done after setting the c

Re: MI-L MapInfo file size limit

Hi Vinny Thanks for the reply. However if the data is stored relationally this will not be a problem. The updates include "departed features" as well as new features. If your data is split into current holding ( ie whats on the ground now ) and history ( ie previous versions ) then the current h

MI-L Theme Legend cutoff at bottom

Once again I have a problem. In thematic maps, when I insert a frame in the layout with the theme legend of the theme, it gets the last line partially chopped off. I do not know how too fix that. I do know however, that if the legend of ... is installled instead of the Theme Legend; then this

RE: MI-L MapInfo file size limit

Bob Thanks very much for the informative reply. I should say from the outset that we have not yet reached the 2GB file size limit and more importantly our file sizes should gradually diminish as we remove some of the atrribute data that is not of any relevance to us. However, my concern is that

MI-L Plotting trouble

Hi Listers, We are trying to plot a 50 page atlas composed of raster aerial imagery and vector overlay layers. We're using MI 5.5 and an HP 1220C printer. We seem to be able to print 5-10 layouts and then we start having printing problems: errors, spitting out paper etc. It doesn't matter wha

Re: MI-L MapInfo file size limit

Hi Vinny The ID file contains a list of 4 byte pointers into the MAP file thus allowing record n to find map object n. a 4 byte long will store +- 2GB and MapInfo have used a signed long thus limiting themselves to half of this. Therefore even on systems(eg Win2000) which allow files to be the

MI-L Detect row without object

HI, Listers 1. Is there any way to detect the rows containing Null objects in a table. 2. How can we programmatically detect the event of closing of a table i.e. I would like to show a message when a certain table is closed from a MapInfo session Any ideas will help me THANKS FROM

RE: MI-L Ranged Thematics

Hello Dain - you should find the procedure in the MI manual, but essentially what you want to do is start with one of the preset templates and then customize it from the "Step 3 of 3" window (there's a part of the dialog box that says "customize"). Click on "styles" and change them to whatever yo

RE: MI-L MapInfo file size limit

Vinny You do need to be wary of creating the large MI files - they become extremely un-user friendly! eg. slow drawing, slow sql... Do you really need to create a single 2gb file of features? Are you using a feature factory somewhere (FME/Interpose) to create exactly what you need in the layers

Re: MI-L MapInfo file size limit

2 Gb happens to be the largest number of bytes which can be adressed with a signed 32-bit number. On Windows 9x it is also the largest file, which the OS can handle. So it would require Windows NT/2000/XP and probably a new TAB format. The answer from MapInfo Corp. would probably be, that you sh

RE: MI-L MapX performance - Layer.AddFeature (#2)

Hi Philip, Sorry for asking some really trivial stuff but I haven't actually used MapX before.. But how do I create a new standalone feature which can be added to a collection ? I've tried this: var f: CMapXFeature; ftrs : CMapXFeatures; rect: CMapXRectangle; begin rect := CoRectangle.

MI-L MapInfo file size limit

Users I consider myself to be an intermediate user of MapInfo software so bear with me if my query is too simplistic for some of the MapInfo gurus. I've been doing some translation of OS MasterMap data and have been told that the maximum file size limit for a MapInfo table is 2GB. Is this correc

MI-L Re: Problems with opening advanced queries in Pro (Was: MI-L Can't Open Union Queries from a access database in MapInfo)

Hi List, The problem about opening views in MIPro is even more tricky than I expected. I've been experimenting with "inner selects" in MIPro 6.5+MS/SQL 4.5 (both patched), and thought I had it licked. I type in the query in the RDBMS open dialog's Expert entry to test whether a query work
