RE: Distance from a referenced point

Ah ignore me, my first attempt didn't work but I had my x and y mixed up like an idiot. FTR (although I'm sure everyone knows): Ensure START has X and Y coordinate fields, then Add Column START (EndX) From END set to Centroidx(obj) where EndID = ID Add Column START (EndY) From END set to Centroidy(obj) ...

Hello! I have a table of points called "START" with the following fields: ID, EndID, Dist I have a second table of points called END with the following fields: ID I would like to update Table START, populating the field Dist with the distance between the Start object, and the object in table END as ...

RE: What Projection is an object variable?

It's not necessarily "accuracy" I'm after; just consistency. If I'm running a spatial query using objects in a table in order to detect and correct problems for a future operation that uses object variables, it's rather unfortunate that there is no consistency between the two. I have just tested it. ...

Hmm. Thanks for the info on "bounds", its certainly something I will look into. But in reality I'm just trying to perform simple spatial tasks using a region stored in an object variable. I'm disheartened to learn that if the source table of my object is in a different projection, I will first have to ...

Thanks Uffe. The inspiration for this question arose from using a spatial query to update a point table with the number of regions a point was within. Add Column _tPoints (Num_Regs Integer) From tRegions set to count(*) where contains A number of points in tPoints sit upon the boundary of the regions, ...

This may sound like a really stupid question but... what projection is an object variable stored in? Example: Dim oRegion as Object Fetch First from tRegions oRegion = tRegions.obj Select * From tPoints where obj within oRegion In my example, table tRegions is in British National Grid projection. ...

UPDATE: I think it might have something to do with a recent server update which has changed the network mapping. Is there a way of modifying the initial directories for file dialogs in one go, or will we be forced to modify the paths one by one? ------------------------------ Ryan Cook ORH LTD --- ...

Open Table Dialog taking ages to display

Hi, I have recently been experiencing a very long delay between choosing "Open Table" and the dialog window appearing. I get a blue wheel, with (not responding) in the header, and a freeze which last for 20-30 seconds. Note, this is not a delay in opening tables which, once the dialog appears and I ...

RE: Variable MapInfo performance speeds between users

Yeah, unfortunately we don't have MapInfo or any applications beyond MSOffice on our local machines. But I still don't understand how a connection would make a difference when we aren't really sending data back-and-forth between local and server - we are just running something on the server that we have ...

Variable MapInfo performance speeds between users

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hi, Our setup is a central server loaded with our applications that our office of 30 remote connect to. We probably have about 10 MapInfo users. The problem we are experiencing is a rather significant difference in performance with MapInfo from one user to another. As an example, when I run my MapBasic ...

Hi, We've recently got access to the osdatahub premium packages where you can download data in gpkg format. Our trouble is, the data is just so large we can't seem to work with it efficiently. Even when we choose a small area of interest, rather than the whole of GB (which is really what we need), ...

I don't get it. I have been sent data from Ordinance Survey which comes as a bunch of gml.gz files for whatever reason. The documentation says to import it into MapInfo using Universal Translator, but I don't have the format they specify. So I click on "Add Format" and it takes me to a seizure-inducing ...

GRID Thematic Problems

My program automates a grid thematic and I am experiencing two issues: 1) The error: "Metadata operations cannot be performed on this table" interrupts the program when it performs the Create Grid statement. Oddly, the grid is still created (it exists as a table that I can find and add to the map window). ...

Brilliant Peter, I suspected there was a logical way to think about the problem, I just couldn't find the angle. Hardcoding an alias via a select Query is perfect. Thanks again Peter! Ryan ------------------------------ Ryan Cook ORH LTD ------------------------------
