RE: MI-L Creating hotkeys for pushbuttons

RE: MI-L Over Taxing a Workspace file

David, Have you tried changing the text size within the browser windows in order to get the text to fit? It's quite easily done, but I can't remember the exact MapBasic syntax. It's something like:- Set Browse Font(Arial,1,9,BLACK,WHITE) Where the Font clause has the following arguments;

MI-L create grid

Dear list, I am trying to create a lot of grids from a part of a tab file in MapInfo. So I have already divided the tab file into many rectangulars. Now I want to take all the information from each rectangular and convert the data into grid. When I do it using Vertical mapper--create grid, it

RE: MI-L Creating hotkeys for pushbuttons

Peter thanks for the great tip and Evan thanks for posting the question, however I am having trouble getting it to work. I created a menu called drawing shortcut and included your hotkey like so: Create Menu DrawingShortcut ID 56 As Select\tCtrl+space/W^%32 HelpMsg Select one or more

RE: MI-L Creating hotkeys for pushbuttons

It might be as simple as the ID in your menu, Try this in stead: Create Menu DrawingShortcut As Select\tCtrl+space/W^%32 HelpMsg Select one or more map/layout objects or browser records.\nSelect calling 1701 Where did you create this menu ? In the MapInfow.mnu ? I just added it to the

RE: MI-L Creating hotkeys for pushbuttons

Well this is kind of weird now. Yes, I was editing the mapinfow.mnu, by creating a menu, which wasn't working. I then tried what you said and added it to the mappershortcut menu. It will show up now when I right-click on the mapper and it will work if I choose the new command from the menu, but

RE: MI-L Creating hotkeys for pushbuttons

Alan, Sorry, I just check my own MapInfow.mnu again, and I also have this menu item added to the Windows menu. If you add it to the Windows menu as well, it should always be availeble and so also possible to activate thru the hot key That should do the trick...I hope ;-) Peter Horsbøll Møller

MI-L Axwoman for MapInfo

Hi All, I am trying to find a tool that performs the same functions as Axwoman does for ArcGIS. I have asked the developer if they have a MapInfo Version, and the don't. Axwoman http://gis.esri.com/arcscripts/details.cfm?CFGRIDKEY=-2057687617 can be used for various applications in urban

RE: MI-L Creating hotkeys for pushbuttons

Peter, That was it sir. In fact, the mappershortcut menu cut doesn't need to be amended at all. It works with just the windows menu edit. Thanks for all your help (this hasn't been the first time), Alan -Original Message- From: Peter Horsbøll Møller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

Re: MI-L Axwoman for MapInfo

From: Ian Tidy [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just need a trial version for a University paper I am currently doing and I don't want to use the ArcGIS tools. Actually the tool is for ArcView 3, maybe that is more acceptable to you? Kind regards Uffe Kousgaard www.routeware.dk

RE: MI-L Axwoman for MapInfo

Uffe, Your right, I don't know why ESRI can't keep it simple. I am trying to do the whole paper in MapInfo. If I can't get a tool to do it, then I will use the universities' ArcView. Cheers Ian -Original Message- From: Uffe Kousgaard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 13

Re: MI-L Axwoman for MapInfo

Ian You might try the newest version of CrimeStat III. It has some of the capabilities that you are looking for in the crime travel demand module. You will need to convert your roadmap into a shape file otherwise it works fine with mapinfo. CrimeStat 3 is available free at

Re: MI-L Automated Printing of Regions

Hi Chris What you are asking is certainly possible. We have written such an application for a number of clients who have wished to generate PDF or JPG outputs of numerous map areas automatically (over 16,000 in one case!). I believe that I recently read on the MapInfo-L (last couple of weeks)

MI-L SUM: Over Taxing a Workspace file

Thanks to Vicky Bonwick for the fall over the mouse easy solution to changing browser font size. This one has just simply illuded me... you can shrink the text in a browser by selecting all records (make sure the browser is the active window) then go to the text style tool and choose a smaller

RE: MI-L MI Label Expression Help

Hi Paul, I am creating a thematic map tool for a client through Mapbasic. They have some point data (defects in a road i.e. potholes) that reside within roadsegments. They wanted a colour gradient to count the points within each road segment so they could visually see where their trouble spots
