MI-L MI 7.8 - Raster Engine - Unable to open raster files saved in workspaces

2005-04-06 Thread IPCS
G¹Day there folks, Using Mapinfo 7.8 here. MI is opening / viewing raster (Tiff, ECW) files with no problem (as tables), but when I save workspaces that include the raster image (any raster format) as part of a workspace (as you do!), MI refuses to re-open the workspace next time I want to use it

Peter, Thanks for the help. This actually worked. I had plenty of disk space but a big fat temp folder. After cleaning it out I can run queries normally. Tom -Original Message- From: Peter Horsbøll Møller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 4:07 PM To: Tom Doonan Su

I am having a problem running a select statement in MapInfo. A select statement will work but if I add a where clause to the select it causes MapInfo to hang indefinitely. I have tried the same query on another machine and it works fine. I have tried reinstalling MapInfo but it still hangs. If some

RE: MI-L Line generalisation

David, One thing is that the MAP file also contains the spatial index, and so not only the number of nodes in your polygons, but also their location is relevant when looking at the size of the MAP file. Maybe MapInfo optimizes the spatial index when you pack the table/save copy as etc. and when

I uploaded a tool called FindNearestObject to Directionsmag some months ago. I think that tool will do the trick for you. It will give you a table containing a link between each point and the closest polygon. And it will even show a line between the point and the point of the polygonn that is cl

I have a set of points and a set of polygons that are supposed to contain the points. Unfortunately some of the points fall outside the polygons due to data inaccuracy. What I would like to do is to establish a procedure that would identify which polygon is closest to each point. I am quite at

Thanks to all who have replied about my not being able to update a field. The e-mail that solved my problem was from Soren Breddam in which he suggested that you can't perform an update with a WHERE clause. I used the following to successfully update my field. Select * From Copy_KGH_Surgeries_LHA

MI-L Geocode and mapbasic window

Hi All, I've noticed that when you use the geocode option in MapInfo nothing appears in the MapBasic window. I am assuming that geocoding is actually a collection of mapbasic commands, is this true? Also, does anyone have a sample bit of code that I could run in a workspace to "geocode" a table
