Thanks for your reply Peter, it's very frustrating. I wonder whether future versions are planned to introduce greater control over aspects like spacing. For this matter we have opened a ticket with your support team. Regards Matt ------------------------------ Matthew Lee Deep End Services ...

Adjust legend spacing

Posted By Matthew Lee 11-15-2022 01:50
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
I have an issue trying to adjust the spacing between each entry within a thematic legend. That is, there is too much white space between each legend entry, making the legend too tall and using up too much space within a layout page. I want to 'collapse' the entries so that there is little or no additional ...

RE: Seamless table v21 Vs v15

Posted By Matthew Lee 11-02-2022 01:56
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Sam, I am interested in your explanation here as we use different approaches for seamless map sheets: In MapInfo v21 we use the Seamless Manager to create seamless maps. But these don't work in QGIS where we have had to create separate Virtual Raster files for the same seamless sheets. ...

Richard, The answer is to use the excellent Window Helper tool by Peter Horsbøll Møller. It has a function to show the extent of one map window in another, along with many other useful tools. It can be installed from the MapInfo Marketplace. Regards Matt ------------------------------ Matthew ...

Nick, We do have users that sometimes access their machines remotely, but that wouldn't be an issue and it makes no differences when they sit locally at their office desks anyway. I think that you could be onto something with a network-based issue to the wmts website. I'm pretty sure it isn't a proxy ...

Peter It doesn't matter which way I do it. If I try to open a new table through the Open WMTS process, I immediately get an error message saying "The following error was issued while attempting to access the server: Unable to retrieve capabilities from the wmts server" then it gives the wmts address. ...

Community, I have an issue that is driving me crazy and would love some assistance. On my machine that runs MapInfo Pro v21 I am able to open a tileserver file that references a customised Mapbox style through WMTS. It works perfectly well, so that means that I have managed to properly format the ...

MapInfo Pro community. I want to share an issue that we have, in the hope that someone else can tell me how to resolve it, or it can be dealt with in future upgrades. Our organisation has standard report templates in Microsoft Word in which maps and other images can be dropped in at a specified ...

RE: MapInfo Monday: 13 Preferences to check and configure in MapInfo Pro

Posted By Matthew Lee 02-09-2021 17:04
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Peter, What would be great would be a very simple option to save all of these preferences to a file, which can then be loaded on to another installation. Without that, it is a laborious process to ensure all new MapInfo installations have common settings across an organisation - especially things ...

Thanks Peter, good article. However, I am not sure I understand how your query returned decimal values (251.997 and 251.995) for a count aggregation? Also, I would have thought the reuse of the same column alias ("Count_anlnr" and "Avg_anlnr") for two different calculations would have caused some ...

Thanks for the advice Peter and Gisbert. That's a shame that you can't easily do it within MapInfo. I will probably leave as is and clean the data outside the MI environment.

Raster image white transparency

Hello, I have an issue with some raster layers that I have combined into a seamless map layer, which are rendering differently in v19 compared with earlier versions (eg v15). Specifically, white parts of the image are being registered as transparent and I cannot see how to change them to 'filled in' ...

@Rachel Taylor @Ashley Crane @Shweta Shukla It would be great if in upcoming releases MapInfo could support a style standard (eg SLD style) within the Geopackage format.

I'm going through the MapInfo v19 installation procedure, but am confused at the point where the installation program has determined that v19 will be installed in 'C:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional'. The problem is that this directory currently holds my v17 installation. My question is, therefore, ...
