Ok, I've worked my way around several of my problems (such as creating a larger rect to make a thematic map since creating a theme of the same size as the final left 'whitespace' around the edges), but I can't figure out how to stretch the viewing rect to the size of my mapper. I would love it if the area of the rect could be stretched to the viewable area of the window. You can get the mapper window's extents from MapperInfo(FrontWindow(), MAPPER_INFO_MAXX) and MapperInfo(FrontWindow(), MAPPER_INFO_MAXY) and the MINX and MINY of those, but you can't set the darn things (that I can find).
Any help? Here's the MapBasic code I'm using Dim rect As Object Dim rectRight As Object Create Rect Into Variable rect ( <minx>,<miny> ) ( <maxx>,<maxy> ) Create Rect Into Variable rectRight ( <minx>,<miny> ) ( <maxx>,<maxy> ) Open Table "C:\mapinfo\ObsLocal.TAB" Interactive Open Table "D:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional 6.5\DATA\Map_Data\Namerca\USA\Usa_Maps\US_CNTY.TAB" Interactive Open Table "D:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional 6.5\DATA\Tut_Data\Tut_Usa\USA\STATES.TAB" Interactive Open Table "D:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional 6.5\DATA\Tut_Data\Tut_Usa\WORLD\OCEAN.TAB" Interactive Select * From US_CNTY Where US_CNTY.obj Partly Within rect Into mapCnty Select * From STATES Where STATES.obj Partly Within rect Into mapState Select * From OCEAN Where OCEAN.obj Partly Within rect Into mapWater Select TEMPERATURE From ObsLocal Where ObsLocal.obj Partly Within rect Into mapTemp Map From mapState,mapCnty,mapWater create grid FROM mapTemp with TEMPERATURE into "C:\mapinfo\mapTemp_TEMPERATURE.mig" type "mig.ghl" CoordSys Earth Projection 1, 62 clipping table mapCnty inflect 12 at &H003f84:0 &H007aff:10 &H00adce:20 &H00d890:30 &H19ad00:40 &H73bd00:50 &He0e000:60 &He6ad00:70 &He68400:80 &He65a00:90 &Hff0000:100 &Hbf0000:999 # use 0 # cell min 100 interpolate with "IDW" version "100" using 2 "EXPONENT": "2" "SEARCH RADIUS": "50" Open Table "C:\mapinfo\mapTemp_TEMPERATURE.TAB" Interactive Set Map Layer 1 Display Graphic Add Map Layer mapTemp_TEMPERATURE Set Map Order 2,3,1,4 Set Map Layer 1 Display Global Global Pen (2,2,0) Global Brush (1,16777215,16777215) Set Map Layer 2 Display Global Global Pen (1,2,&H777777) Global Brush (1,16777215,16777215) Set Map Clipping Object rectRight Set Map Center (<mapx>,<mapy>) Set Window FrontWindow() Width 6.67 Units "in" Height 4.79 Units "in" '640x460 -- Michael Martinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
