MI-L Thematic Grid Map and Projections

When I'm trying to produce a thematic grid map, and I'm working on a cartesian coordinates map, it seems that MI7.0 necessarily turns the coordinates to Lat/Lon, while I need to show the interpolated data in the same projection. Probably it is a simple problem for you old wolves, but anyway...

Re: MI-L convert polygon to points

I have just uploaded a tool to generate random points within polygons. Find it at www.routeware.dk/download/randompoints.zip If you have mapbasic, you can easily adjust it for your own needs. If you don't, you will have to make your data match my sample data with regards to table name, column

I have been using a third party add-on product, Vertical Mapper, by Northwood Geoscience (www.northwoodgeo.com) to plot 3-D data. I'm running an older version of MapInfo (5.5) and I've heard something about Vertical Mapper being sold. Hope that can get you started. Norm

MI-L radom points within region

I would like to hear comments about the real nature of point patterns that are generated with the procedure that Uffe Kousgaard offers us in its Make_randompoints application. The x,y are created with the RND() function to fit in the MBR of the region that points outside the polygons are dropped.

RE: MI-L convert polygon to points

Hi Uffe, Mapbasic is missing a simple Point-in-Polygon check function, so the code is a lot more complex than it ought to be. What's wrong with: if LondonPointObj within EnglandRegionObj then print London is in England end if The spatial predicates can be used in expressions, not just SQL

RE: MI-L radom points within region

Hi Jacques, If a distribution is truly (mathematically) random, then a sub-set (spatial or otherwise) will also be random. Of course with computers we're normally dealing with pseudo-random numbers and so careful thought has to be given to suitability of this method. For cosmetic purposes, I

MI-L Radius Select

Selecting points that are within a given distance of a known point is a relatively straight forward procedure using the Distance function. But it requires the manual entry of the x,y coordinates of center point and you have to be working with one table. What I would like to do is select all

Re: MI-L plotting points as contours on map..

For 3 points any contour map add-on is fine, as the contours are straight lines representing a planar surface (unless you've other surface constraints). For several points and if you are interested in using advanced gridding/contouring features, there is Surfer -- a contouring program popular

Re: MI-L plotting points as contours on map..

Another alternative is to use contouring engine of Grid Analyser (free trial available at www.terris.sk). I tested both Grid Analyser and Vertical Mapper upon the same data and found out that both produce similar outputs, besides that Vertical Mapper lacks in flat areas, where the results were

Re: MI-L plotting points as contours on map..

Another cheaper alternative is to use Grid Analyser. The TRIAL version is available for download from http://www.terris.sk. It includes spline, IDW and from version 4.0 TIN interpolation as well. The contouring subroutine is using CONREC algorithm - one of the most accurate contouring method.
