I > have added a new category : shareware/unregistered. You will find in it : > > -HalfBuffer : creates "rectangular" buffers on the chosen side of > lines/plines. Many options such as width varying with values in a given > column. > > -Plin2Reg : converts plines with attached names of the adjacent regions into > regions. > > -Reg2Plin : converts regions into a set of unique border segments with the > names of bordering regions (as an option: names can be right/left according > to the line direction). Useful also for topology editing. > > -Skimall : detects duplicate records on the basis of a search startegy > decided by user. Was before in the commercial section. > > > In the freeware section, I have added : > > -LayScale : draw a scalebar/numeric scale for a frame in a layscale. 4 > styles of bars, 3 of units. English or French. Various combinations and > relative positions. > > A major expansion of the code provided by Jason Adam [jadam@monopros.ca]. > Original version was Scalebr3 available on the mapinfo-l ftp site. > > -Gratic : draws ticks along the sides of a mapper with corresponding > latitude or longitude information. As an option, it can add cross-ticks in > the body of the map. Various display options. Works with all kinds of maps > (non-earth, lon-lat, projected). Graticule objects can be saved as a TABLE > or as part of a WORKSPACE > > Developped from a code file offered by Steve Wallace [swallace@sfbcic.com] > and with his approval. > > -Polynode : analyzes the topology of each node of a region table and detects > situations that could be responsible for later "Error overlaying objects". > Useful particularly for MI versions prior to 5.5 > Was previously offered as a time stamped beta version > > -Reg_rast : helps in the registration of raster images. Started with > AutoRegistration for Viewing Only (adaptation of Kevin Mahoney's > AUTO_R_M.MB), was amplified with > "Image pixel Size and Rectangular map Coordinates" (with contributions from > Dmitry Bogdanov) and Direct Mapper Window Registration. > > -Resizmap : resizes a mapper to given dimensions or to the dimensions of a > given frame in a layout. Changes mapper scale if needed. > Inspired by Carol Agius [mu@maltanet.net], and with his approval. > > -Windosiz : displays the actual dimensions of the active document window > (Map, Graph, Browser, Layout) and its maximum possible size (that of the > MapInfo window). > Simple upgrade of a previous version. > > > I hope that some of you will find there what he has been looking for so > long... > > I am always receptive to comments, suggestions, corrections, improvements > and new ideas.
