MI-L Changing Graphs using MapBasic

I posted this request in mid December but received no replies... I thought I would run it by the group again. -- The current Mapbasic approach to graphing seems totally tied to Template files with little capability to change graphs via code. Is there any way to programmatically set

Dear List, I have two questions concerning Spatialware on SQLServer. 1. I cannot find the HG_SphericalBuffer function in my UDF - Tree? I am using Spatialware 4.8. Where is it? 2. I am trying to send this statement via Query Analyser: use World exec

MI-L Scaling the Layout Page

Hello All, I am drawing a map which I need to scale to A0 for printing. However I do not have an A0 plotter. The problem is that when I go to the page setup. I am only offered page sizes that my network printers can handle (A3 max). Is there anyway that I can scale the map to A0 without having

Hi John! First, there is really nothing that stops you from creating layout objects beyond the 'paper surface' in the layout window, even if it will look funny. Secondly, you can install a printer driver that handles A0 without being physically in contact with such a plotter. Look for HP or

Re: MI-L Changing Graphs using MapBasic

I contacted MapInfo Tech Support on this, and the word is that after 5.0, they are using a third party graphing package that has no API accessable to MapBasic. The only way to communicate with it to control these advanced features is through a template. On Thu, 13 Jan 2005, Lorne wrote: I

RE: MI-L Changing Graphs using MapBasic

Thanks for looking into this Bill although this is really not what I wanted to hear. Does this make any sense to you? Graphing is a common requirement. I would expect that Mapbasic functions for the graphing package would have been included when the company decided to go this 3rd party route.

Hi John, I agree with Mats to get a program that prints PDF Files. If you would like a Free Alternative for PDF Printing then you should check out CutePDF Writer. I use this software for printing MapInfo A1 A0 Maps to PDF Files and it works really well. Best of all it does not have any ads or

MI-L Label query

Hello MapInfo listers, I want to label polygons according to one of two fields (PID and POT_PID). In our data, a polygon has a real value for either one of these two fields, and a zero value for the other. I was wondering if it'd be possible to write a query that would label polygons according

MI-L Alternative Text Editor to native MapBasic

Hi List, I was wondering if anybody uses an alternative to the native Mapbasic Script editor. Up until now I have been a native Mapbasic user stubling through. I am testing out a couple of text Editors with Syntax Highlighting and Custom Commands to activate the Mapbasic Compiler when

Thanks Bill, I will try those programs. I am currently testing out a program called ConText. http://www.context.cx/ This program is Free with no Adware, spyware etc. It Allows me to send console commands to mapbasic to compile the .MB and link the project file, through the press of a key when

RE: MI-L Label query

Hi Matt, You are able to do this by using some simple logic in your label expression. Here is how to do it: Left$(Str$(PID), Int(PID 0) * Len(Str$(PID))) + Left$(Str$(POT_PID), Int(POT_PID 0) * Len(Str$(POT_PID))) The trick here is to use the left$() function to extract a number of
