RE: Creating Thematics on Query Results based on Object Type

Hi Peter and Bill Thanks for your responses.  Your explanation is as I expected.  I take your point Bill about not mixing object types in a table, but sometimes it's really convenient to do this.  For example we have a table of transport projects, which could be represented as points/lines/polygons, ...

Hi Bill, Thanks for picking that up. I've created a tidier version of the tool (which removes those unnecessary lines and fixes a couple of other minor issues), which I've shared a link to with @David Oneill to publish to Market Place.  Also attached for anyone who would like to comment. Cheers ...

Thanks so much @Bob Fortin and @William Wemple, this sample really helped me. I've created a tool which I hope many MapInfo users will find useful.  This tool provides an enhancement which I've wanted to see in MapInfo for many years (there are a couple of posts about this feature in the Ideas Portal). ...

Thanks Bob for your reply.  I had a go at this, but my programming skills don't extend much beyond MapBasic.  I'm trying to make the leap to extending with python, but it's not yet familiar to me.  Can anyone show me how to incorporate this into my tool (attached in original post).  Many ...

Thanks for your help Peter. I understand how this works now.  It's not entirely clear from the release notes.  I would have expected that cancelling the dialog should simply not update the pen variable.

Hi all. I'd like to add a button to the THEME context ribbon tab using MapBasic.  Can anyone help me with the correct syntax?  It could just be a simple button, but I would also like to try adding a split button. I've written a tool to do a bulk change of the border (pen) for all the range or individual ...

Hi Martin You can use the Spider Graph tool to create lines from one Postcode centroid to another Postcode Centroid.  You could then change the line styles to arrows.  Check out the post in this forum for "MapBasic Tool of the Week: Spider Graph" (19 June 2019).  I posted a reply where I showed a map ...

RE: Scalebar disappears

One option you can use is instead of using Layout Scalebar tool, you could add a scalebar to the map window (from Map ribbon).  This scalebar will be cloned when you clone the Layout window.  However, the scalebar must be floating over the map window - maybe this will be okay if you are happy to have ...

Hi Bo, Glad you have found the tool to be useful.  I'm aware of this issue, and it has been raised by other users of Site Mapper too.  The issue is the tool uses MapInfo Pro's window clone function to replicate the Layout window.  When you clone a layout, the  scalebar does not get cloned.  I tried ...
