[MI-L] Useful tip on workspaces

Hi List! I thought should share with you a most useful method on creating workspaces. Forgive me if some find it obvious, it wasn't for me. The problem is this: During work on a complicated map design, one tends to open lots of tab-files, try out different sub-selects, copy mapper windows for t

[MI-L] How to merge mapper windows?

Hi List! I wonder if anyone has a solution, like an application or a description of a good work-flow to the following problem: When creating thematic maps for multiple themes, which will have to be presented in several thematic maps the work is done in two stages. One: in one mapper, create a ba

[MI-L] Transparency

Hi, Is there any way to make (raster or vector) map layers semi-transparent? If so, would this work in MapX? Kind regards Tim ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l

[MI-L] Table field vals not storing in variables - sometimes - frustrating

Dear List Please consider the code below. I'm doing the same thing with 3 tables, to get the description field from the look-up tables, given the FK from the main table. I've ommitted some of the code but essentially the code picks up the Zone description (not included here) and the Facility T

[MI-L] Exporting Rasters to AutoCad

[MI-L] SQL Select

Dear All This may be a easy one but hear goes, I have two columns of data which I want to multiply the values of each together and give the result in a additional column. I take it this is possible to do, if so could somebody please enlighten me. Thanks Andrew Tracey Information Support Offic

RE: [MI-L] Transparency

I've loaded a raster (aerial imagery) then overlaid vector layers. When I position another copy of the same raster layer at the top of the layer list and turn it transparent in the style override, the result is see-through vector layers, which look pretty cool. I haven't tried it in MapX though.

Re: [MI-L] Table field vals not storing in variables - sometimes - frustrating

Hi Terry, I haven't read your code in detail, but in general, an indirect reference to fetch values from a table should _always_ be immidiately preceeded by a Fetch command. To fetch values from a table without specifying the row, needs previously to have set the "active row", and that is wh

Re: [MI-L] Exporting Rasters to AutoCad

Hi Robin! The tab is merely a reference to an image file, telling MapInfo where to display the image file in the chosen coordinate system. You can look at it in any ascii file viewer. Other software, such as AutoCad often uses a so called world file, which in an external file gives the same kind

[MI-L] Counting number of events inside of each cell in a grid file

Hi List, I have a tab file called Eq.tab, and a grid file called Source.grd. I am looking for a method to create a table of all listed cells in Source.grd with number of Eq in each cell. I knew how to do it using Sql search, if both files were tab files. Following is an example of what I am looking

[MI-L] Thematic mapping

Hello everyone, I am trying to generate a thematic map through an automated program . Every time I add in the thematic layer, the whole map gets shrunk and appears distorted vertically. Has anyone encountered this and does anyone have a fix? All my layers are either Long, Lat format or in NAD 8

RE: [MI-L] Transparency

Jerry, Thanks for your reply. I was thinking of raster formats which have an 'alpha' channel. This can be used to allow a certain amount of the underlying layer show through (like in Photoshop). I tried the using the layer-control, but the 'Style Override' box is disabled - I guess this is becau
