MI-L Merging (combining raster images)

Hi, I've seen almost an identical post before, but no concrete answer was given. We have two raster images which we need to merge into one image, with one image set at 50% translucency. I then want to export this one tab/raster file into a third party software package. Does anyone have a idea

Hi both, If what you're looking for is cosmetically better looking maps, you are able to apply several work-arounds / tricks in MIPro to upgrade the appearance. Primarily you can insert the same layer several times in a mapper, and manipulate the display properties, possibly combined with

RE: MI-L digitised lines that jump

I have had this problem when plotting over registered OS raster maps that are resisted ok. The problem occurs when you digitise at a zoomed in scale and then zoom out, the lines digitised shift as you describe. This can sometimes be avoided by digitising in a table rather than on the cosmetic

MI-L Symbols missing

Hi gurus A simple problem I hope, I recently upgraded to 7.0 from 6.5, no problem. Then I got a new PC so installed 7.0 on it and removed all MapInfo from the old one. Now on the new one some of the symbol fonts I used are missing e.g. MapInfo weather. There are other installations of MI 6.5 on

Re: MI-L Line Editor Tool (LineEdit.exe)

From: Lars Nielsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using a shifted line style won't work, since there's no restriction on the direction of a polygon border line. It might run either way around the polygon, rendering it impossible to know which side of the line is inside and which is outside. That applies

RE: MI-L digitised lines that jump

Suzanne It seems to be a fairly common problem and one which I have to live with. I do however accept that there has to be a fudge factor when carrying out an excercise like this. A variation of 1 or 2 pixels visually not really and issue, but also the lines would be in the right place even

MI-L MapInfo to Quark, AGAIN, but on a MAC this time.

Title: RE: MI-L MapInfo to Quark, AGAIN, but on a MAC this time. Bob, Have you tried printing to a file using a PostScript print driver ? I don't know whether it will have similar problems to the PDFs, though (with other software e.g. EMME/2 and ENIF) does not usually mess up as with WMFs.

I'm not sure what the error message means, but one thing i always try if the UT fails to convert to a .TAB file, is to convert to a .MIF and then import the .MIF to a .TAB. Ben Greenberg GIS Coordinator NAI MLG Commercial 13400 Bishops Lane, Suite 100 Brookfield, WI 53005 (262) 797-9400 (262)

RE: MI-L digitised lines that jump

One should consider that an image has a fixed resolution. You have perfect alignment between image and vectors when you are at 100% zoom, so that you are seeing every pixel along a line in the image. When you zoom in or out of the image, you are either dropping some pixels in the image or

MI-L BC albers Projection

You can edit the mapinfo.prj file in a text editor, which is located in your Mapinfo program directory. Before you edit, save a copy of your current prj file just in case you make an error. The Mapinfo manual describes how to write the parameters in the new projection line. Hope that helps a

MI-L SQL parsing error ???

Interesting quirk in MapInfo's SQL parser. Whilst tracking down a bug in some code I found an apparently invalid SQL statement with 2 where clauses. To my surprise, the statement compiles and runs - it also runs in the MapBasic window - and produces the expected query result. The statement is

RE: MI-L SQL parsing error ???

Following on from my previous post, the error message that MapInfo could not close a temp table is due to a bug. If you open a shapefile directly using MI Pro v7 and then make a selection from it, you get this message when attempting to close the temp table. Note that this will cause unexpected
