I imagine that if you have edited maps in MapInfo Pro long enough, you have gotten anomalies like this in your objects:
You erased some objects and did not realize that some of the nodes did not line up and you are left an artifact I call a "spike" - a series of nodes with practically no area.
I wrote some code decades ago to find and remove these spikes, looking for the following criteria:
- Check through the region objects looking at three nodes at a time (n1, n2, n3).
- Compute the area of a triangle with vertices [n1, n2, n3].
- If area is less than the set threshold, remove node n2, print a note to the message window and continue processing.
Has anyone else run into object processing issues like this?
Any suggestions of a better method? Maybe even someone has written code??
Thanks,
