RE: [MI-L] Settle a bet - Is MapBasic Programming or Scripting?

Hi Morgan, Nice see a thread that causes a vigorous debate! I've found that many people like to demean certain programming/scripting languages in an attempt to make out that their own choice is superior. Putting all that aside, any structured grammar/syntax which instructs a computer to perform

Re: [MI-L] MapInfo vs. MapBasic Performance Issue

Hi Flavio, Ok, difference in use of terms. You're off course comparing it to opening the server table with local copy manually thru the GUI. I agree, it ought to be the same performance-wise, since the interface looks similar to the end-user/developer. But the stmt refer to an earlier

Re: [MI-L] Parsing

Thanks... A number of people mentioned the Gold Parser to me. But I'm getting the problem solved by taking it to my Linux box and writing some Perl code. Have to learn Perl though, but that doesn't seem too difficult. After all, it's only scripting! On Thu, Feb 09, 2006 at 03:52:20PM +0800,

RE: [MI-L] Settle a bet - Is MapBasic Programming or Scripting?

I am late getting into the fray because I expected to see it coming to the surface much before now, or I may have overlooked it (my apologies in that case). In very simple terms I would equate scripting to MapBasic in the MapBasic Window or in a WOR (MB_WOR) and programming to a MB application

[MI-L]-Field Read Only

I have been combining objects (Polylines) and occasionally I get a message Field Street is Read Only that prevents the operation. What is that? (This is a file imported from a Shp file with UT). I didn't know fields could be read only and neither MI knowledgebase or the archives mention it

RE: [MI-L] Parsing

Loonix :( - there are plenty of perl packages for Windows, surely? ActivePerl, WinPerl, PXPerl, I'd reckon still that you'd be better off doing it by regular expressions - after all, it's just a bit of pattern recognition. IL Thomas GeoSciSoft - Perth, Australia -Original Message-

You are suffering from a false easting and a custom projection in the source data. I may get this wrong but here goes: if you open (in a text editor) your MAPINFOW.PRJ file which is under program files/mapinfo/professional (make a backup copy before editing) - you should see this listed for the

[MI-L] Multi-page PDF output

I have a MapBasic application that prints maps from layout windows to a PDF driver and all seems to work as far as that goes. However, I've been asked if there is a way when printing several maps in a batch mode, if I can send them all to the same PDF output file, and create a sort of multi-page

Ang. [MI-L] Multi-page PDF output

Hi Bill! Quite by chance I have discovered that MapInfo can do a multi-page pdf, if you have a layout which stretches across more sheets than one. We use the A size series (not sure what the equivalent would be in US terms) where for instance A2 equals 4xA4 (2 by2). If I make a layout A2 big

RE: [MI-L] Multi-page PDF output

Hi Bill, I do a lot of batch map (in MB) processing to output as pdf. While you can create multipage pdfs by using your page setup effectively, I don't know of any way to send through MB multiple maps to the same pdf ( appending) without overwriting the initial pdf. A couple of thoughts however

RE: [MI-L] Multi-page PDF output

Hello Bill, While playing around with batch prints to PDF last year, several listers recommended PDF995 (www.pdf995.com). It's a bit of a fiddle to install as you need other components to get it working fully, but worth the effort... and free, which is nice. There's an option to batch to the same

Re: [MI-L] Multi-page PDF output

Adobe Distiller is the tool for the job (acrodist.exe) and postscript printer driver. 1.. In your MapBasic appliation, you printwin each page as a postscript file, and build a list of names for processing. This is trickiest step, as you need to wait til the print file's available and rename

Re: [MI-L] Multi-page PDF output

One trick I use is to use distiller and rename the layout window, and this gives a different unique name to each output file. This will solve the renaming issue mentioned, but will not solve your issue with multiple pages. I think that if you print on multipage layout, you will get a multipage
