MI-L Projection and Datum

Is there anyone can help me to convert this parameter and then add as a new projection menu into Mapinfo PRJ files? The horizontal coordinate system used by PDO is called "PSD93" (PDO Survey Datum 1993) and is basically Clarke 1880 defined as follows : SpheroidClarke 1880 semi major a

MI-L Réf. : MI-L From RGB to CMYK (MapInfo 7.8)

Hi, I don't think there is a clean way to do this in MapInfo. We have been through this last year when we published our atlas and it is a very tough problem, because MapInfo doesn't manage colors. MapInfo only work in RGB and doesn't tag the exported files with any icc profiles. So the convers

Re: MI-L Calling a VB.NET assembly from MapBasic

Colin, There is only one option to create a DLL based on .NET code that can be called from mapbasic without any further wrappers: Delphi.NET You can be dead sure VB.NET doesn't support such an old-fashioned thing as DLL's - not even VB6 did that. VB tools and mapbasic just doesn't match up.

RE: MI-L Calling a VB.NET assembly from MapBasic

Not quite right .. All of .NET supports ordinary, Win32 DLLs (and ActiveX DLLs) - the problem is just to get MapBasic to call a DLL that's a wrapper to the .NET application. For that, you're right that you would need to write a C-call convention DLL in C++ or Delphi. The problem then just boils

Re: MI-L Calling a VB.NET assembly from MapBasic

Then let's be more precise: Most, if not all, .NET langauges can call DLL's / OCX's, true. But that won't help Colin. Delphi.NET is the only one that can create DLL's with IL code inside, that can be called from mapbasic. No additional wrappers required. Perhaps managed C++ can also do it no

RE: MI-L Calling a VB.NET assembly from MapBasic

Uffe Sure, I recall that - about 12 months ago. And Delphi is perhaps unique in combining Win32 and .NET code (I don't know), but it still remains a possibility that any C-calling convention DLL (eg, one made with unmanaged C++ or C code / compiler) would be able to run a .NET assembly, and that

RE: MI-L Best Plotter for MapInfo

I may be mistaken but I believe the maximum output size for MapInfo is a function of the resolution set from the printer and the page size. For example at 600dpi PDF's the dimension limit is 28000/600=46.66 inches. (Either direction). As the resolution set at the output device goes up, the di

RE: MI-L Best Plotter for MapInfo

Cinda: Yes, that is right it is a function of the resolution. The GeoPrinter utility is fixed at 600dbi to ensure high resolution quality output, so the approximate 50" X 50" limit applies at 600dpi. Kent Hargesheimer Geographic Enterprises http://www.geo-e.com tel 919.341.1535 -Original
