MI-L Multipe Maps

I have two different maps which I would like to superimpose on each other. They are both of the same area although are broken down into different areas and it would be nice to be able to compare the differences. Have managed to open them in the same window by using the 'Current Mapper' option in th

MI-L Property Areas

Hello all. I have a table of points with various bits of data attributed to them. One of the empty columns in the table is Property_Area. I then have another table with various polygons, each overlaying a single point, so that all the points in the first table are within a polygon from the second

RE: MI-L Property Areas

Peter It would help if you said how MI doesn't like it. I'm fairly new to MB but not to SQL. Presumably not ALL the points in the points table are within the SAME polygon. I should think your select statement is a bit vague. How does MB know which obj within the polygon table? Similarly your

RE: MI-L Line with bearing

Reno You can't do this with a MapBasic tool - you can do the calculation from mouse clicks but that puts up a modal dialog that you need to dismiss. And there are no events you can use in vanilla MapBasic. I think you will need to use integrated mapping - one way is to put your int.mapping code in

Absolutely, give Mapbook by GISnet a try. I think there is an evaluation download. It is an extremely handy utility for my work, allows printing all or certain pages (i.e. page 1-5 or 40-102) Prints odd/even or both page numbers. There's a little initial setup to do as it uses user defined temp

RE: MI-L Population Weighted Centroid

I am not sure if I am following correctly. Why not take the average or sum the Japanese Wards. You would use SQL Select and for columns, the first should be the unique id of the Japanese wards. If you need more, add them in. The last column should be the census data, this is the one you will us
