RE: MI-L Is it possible to order columns in a table (ala Excel sort function)?

Sure, just make a query and pick the column you want to sort by. Menu: Query SQL Select But if you want it the Excel/Access way, by directly right clicking the columnname in a browser, you will like the new MapInfo.NET ((1)not the real name (2)when it comes...). It has this little nice

MI-L Updating columns with an objects x and y values

Hello everyone, I am trying to update a table of polygons with theire nodes' x and y values. I have created the fields to update, i.e. Easting, Northing 1 etc, however I am having difficulty updating the values. I assume I need to use the ObjectNodeX and ObjectNodeY functions, however I am

RE: MI-L Updating columns with an objects x and y values

You can use the ObjectNodeX and ObjectNodeY. But I do not quite understand what you want. There are (normally) several points composing a polygon. Do you have fields for each node? What if a polygon have 100 or 1 nodes ? The MapBasic declaration is pretty mush straight forward: xCoord =

Re: MI-L HELP WITH INTERNAL BUFFER QUERY

Hi Peter, Instead of buffering inwards, you could try a query along the following lines: select * from table1, table2 where table1.obj intersects table2.obj and proportionoverlap(table1.obj , table2.obj) 0 This should return exactly what you want, whereas I think the buffering

MI-L save window print resolution

Can someone tell me why the maps exported via save window as turn out blurry despite exporting them at 600 dpi? I just want my exported maps to look as good as they do when I print directly from MapInfo. That is, I want them camera ready for use in Pagemaker or (forgive me) MS Word. Printing

Re: MI-L Count number of Overlaps by Polygons into new table

Hi Cameron, First of all you need to 'flatten' your table, ie get rid of overlaps and be left with a table with a polygon for each overlapping area. The region check tool will show you overlaps, but its output will itself contain overlaps where there are more than two overlapping polygons in

MI-L Réf. : MI-L save window print resolution

Hi, I encountered the same kind of problems one year ago while we prepared our atlas for print. When you chose to export your windows, there are several types of format which you can chose. a) Raster format export your maps as if they were photographs. That could create huge files depending

MI-L MB LayerInfo() Label line pen

I couldn't find a symbol name in mapbasic.def or MapBasic help for the callout pen style for a layer's labels. This value can be set in the Set Map statement, but there's no way to retrieve it. Does anyone know if there's an undocumented LayerInfo constant to retrieve this value? Thanks

Hi Christiane, Please let me add a few comments on your raster formats. There are 3 kinds of bitmap formats: Uncompressed: TIF, BMP, PSD Compressed, loss-less: PNG, TIF, GIF Compressed, with loss: JPG Main comment is PNG is not a compromise between size and quality, since quality is as good

MI-L Réf. : Re: MI-L Réf. : MI-L save window print resolution

Thanks for putting things more clearly than I did.. BTW, GIF isn't always lossless. It can do nasty things to your colors if you chose a low number of colors (less than there are in your maps). But it compress very well if you have few colors. Sometimes I export large Tiffs and convert them

Re: MI-L save window print resolution

MapInfo 8.0 supports both GIF and TIFF-CMYK as output formats. I'm not sure how to achieve EPS, but perhaps some of the PDF printer drivers can. Regards Uffe - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Mapinfo-L mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com Sent:

MI-L Landscape layout orientation

Hi List, I know I've asked something similar to this before but I can't seem to find it anywhere in my notes or in the archives. I have a series of pages in a layout view. I want to save them in landscape orientation, but each time I open the workspace they've gone back to portrait. When this

Re: MI-L Landscape layout orientation

Hi Christine, The layout orientation is determined by the default printer setup. Have you by any chance disabled saving printer settings to workspaces ? If so, does the default printer have portrait orientation as default ? Best regards/Med venlig hilsen Lars V. Nielsen GisPro, Denmark
