RE: MI-L Readability on a small map....?

Perhaps you can add a col to your data and populate it with ROWID, then label regions with ROWID, and place the data browser in a separate frame(s) to the side. Remember that you control the font from the browser window with text button. If the browser is too big to put in one frame, then SQL it

Re: MI-L Algorithm to Find the Long Axis of a Polygon

Hi Bill, One approach is to find the minimum bounding rectangle (but not necessarily parallel to an axis). The direction of the long side could be that angle. Look here for a description in subject 2.09: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/graphics/algorithms-faq/ This is probably far from perfect in
