Re: MI-L Ang. MI-L Font license restrictions (was: MI-L Writing Maps to PDF)

Hi Mats, I'm not in disagreement with what you say, and can easily do as you suggest. But with the recent quite intense focusing on license agreements and their implicit and explicit terms of use/not-use in the open source scene, I think it would be beneficial if some official clarfication was to

Re: MI-L Wow! Can it be this simple?

I second that. There are always new solves-it-all systems popping up claiming to be revolutionary, or at least much better than anything that currently exist. Another example is this article from today's Slashdot newsletter: ++

Re: MI-L Creating your own icons on thematic maps

Hi Jesper, If you're working with MapInfo Pro, this is definitely the right forum :-) But are you sure you're talking about thematic maps ? If you've worked with ArcXxx before, there the styles are applied to the features by one of several methods. However, in MapInfo this is different. Here

Re: MI-L Extracting information from TAB file

Hi Carolyn, It's not doable directly in MIPro proper. However, as it's a text file, it's possible to read the info from it with a custom (MapBasic) tool. Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars V. Nielsen Hvenegaard Meklenborg Rugaardsvej

Re: MI-L SQL Server and Spatialware

Hi Roger, We've run SpatialWare (4.5) on MS/SQL 2000 from both MIPro and MapXtreme 3.0 (MapX 5.0) without too many problems. And we're definitely not using sa to access MS/SQL from MXT either. It may be a security/privilege problem you're dealing with. If the tables are owned by dbo, sa will

Re: MI-L 2 differents WinChangedHandler handlers at the same time ?

Hi Cristophe, It's not only possible, it's how MIPro works :-) Every mbx is a sandbox, with it's own set of event handler routines. These routines are fired by MIPro in sequence when required, thus they don't interfere with each other (unless programmed to do so). The order of the execution

MI-L Problems with layout printing and WMS

Another heads-up with regard to use of WMS in MapInfo Pro (7.8) : I've had a close look at actual parameters being sent by MapInfo Pro to a WMS server. And my findings are very disappointing. MapInfo Pro _always_ use screen resolution (96 dpi) when requesting WMS layers, not only for map windows

Re: MI-L Multiple files

Hi Daniel, If your tables have the same structure, you can turn them into a seamless table/layer. That'll leave just one layer to add into your maps. The seamless function work with vector tables too. Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars V. Nielsen

Re: MI-L Character set selection in MI Pro

Hi Marian, All ascii characters are normalized into a subset range, and it is this subset that controls the sort order in MapInfo. In principle, the translation spec is editable, as it's stored as string table resources in MIRES###.DLL, but editing them is not for the faint-hearted, just as with

Re: MI-L Differences between MapInfo and ArcView.

ESRI tools have a steeper learning curve ... Just curious, whether this is in fact a provable fact, or just one of those prejudicies against all Arc products we've all perpetuated thru the years ? I recently attended an ArcGIS beginners course, and nothing in there got me worked up. Yes I know,

Re: MI-L GeoDatabases

Good idea to branch this into a separate thread. The primary idea behind adopting a personal geodatabase - as I see it - is to relieve the ordinary non-technical users from having to deal with individual files and any files/tables hierachy. Everything gets stored in a single project database,

MI-L MapBasic and Bluetooth

If you opened this mail thinking the subject was about Bluetooth-enabling MapBasic apps, I apologize, it's not. Instead I want to share a bad experience I just had, resulting in a hung MapBasic refusing to compile under any circumstances. The other day I bought one of the later Logitech mice,

Re: MI-L MapXtreme

Hi Andrew, It's not a limitation in MapXtreme (or any other webgis software) per se. It's a limitation in the exported map image, or the browser, if you will. Nice images usually have 300 dpi, but in webgis you normally always work in pixels. If e.g. you utilize a map image of 600 by 600 pixels,

MI-L Size limit when linking an MBX ??

I'm building a rather large MapBasic utility for specialized database administration, and suddenly MapBasic refuses to link my program. It will however compile all my modules. The error messages are the infamous: The instruction at 0x123456789 referenced memory at 0x987654321. The memory

MI-L Server conn Begin Transaction - undocumented side effect ?

Hi, I've just now began using the statement Server conn Begin Transaction, and have uncovered a snag (bug?) in my preliminary testing. I'm using MB 6.5 with Oracle 9i, but it's most likely generic. According to the MB manual, Begin Transaction caches all commands until either a Server conn

Re: MI-L Clear custom labels with Mapbasic?

Hi Jay, This code snippet does the trick. Include mapbasic.def Dim i,j As SmallInt For i = 1 to NumWindows() If WindowInfo(i,WIN_INFO_TYPE) = WIN_MAPPER Then For j = 1 To MapperInfo(WindowID(i),MAPPER_INFO_LAYERS) If LayerInfo(WindowID(i),j,LAYER_INFO_TYPE) =
