MapInfo Professional just keeps getting
better and better - with added capabilities
and improved key features for sophisticated
mapping and analysis including:
One of the most
powerful aspects of MapInfo Professional is
its ability to combine data from widely
different sources, even with different
formats and projections, in the same map
window. Once combined in the map window,
relationships that only exist geographically
are revealed.
You can also overly vector and raster
data together.
In the map window, you can control the
order of layers, their display
characteristics, and labeling.
A NEW feature added gives you the ability
to control the translucency of raster
images. Now, instead of simple backdrops,
raster images can be made semi-transparent
and mixed with vector and other raster
images.
Uncover
patterns and trends based on data values
with Thematic Mapping. You can shade, use
bar & pie charts, graduated symbols, dot
density , and grids. The new prism mapping
feature lets you take a flat map and turn it
into something special. You can select
regions on your map, extrude them to any
height and your maps pop off the page.
Choose from hundreds of colors, symbols
and line types to enhance comparisons and
store popular combinations in Thematic
Templates. Save frequently used templates
for future reference and modification.

MapInfo Professional provides continuous
thematic mapping, independent of any
existing geographic layer, via
interpolation. For example, you can show
air temperature as measured at various
locations as a continuously varying color
spread instead of trying to color political
boundaries, postal delivery zones, or
something else as inappropriate.
MapInfo Professional gives you more
choices in Interpolations. Choose between
inverse distance weighting (IDW) - based
and triangulated irregular network (TIN) -
based interpolation.
You can also add relief shading to the
results of interpolation to make variations
in the surface stand out.
Any interpolated grid can be used to
display a map in the 3D window.

Build and
save SQL queries that access and integrate
data from multiple tables. Frequently
performed queries can be written once,
re-used and even distributed to others. In
addition to the standard key words:
- SELECT,
FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, and
INTO
MapInfo
Professional offers special geographic key
words:
-
CONTAINS, WITHIN, PARTLY WITHIN,
ENTIRELY WITHIN, and INTERSECTS
You
can also aggregate data with:
-
Sum(), Min(), Max(), Count(*), Avg(),
and WtAvg() functions
Build and save SQL queries that access and
integrate data from multiple tables.
Frequently performed queries can be written
once, re-used and even distributed to
others.
A
new feature gives you the ability to invert
the current selection. Instead of crafting
a complex query to select all but a few
records or objects, just select the few you
want to exclude, and invert the selection to
unselect them and simultaneously select all
the others.

Publish maps on the worldwide web
with HTML image maps. |
Now link your maps to the world with MapInfo
Professional's new Internet connectivity.
Any object in a map can now contain a URL
automatically launching your browser when
you click on that object with our new
HotLink tool. For example, link your company
web site to the point location on your map
identifying your corporate headquarters. Use
the HotLink tool to link to other types of
document files that the Windows operating
system can launch (.doc, .xls, .ppt, .tab, .wor,
.mdb, etc.).
You may also use MapInfo Professional
to generate HTML Image Maps and publish maps
on your web site. The new Create Image Map
feature enables you to select the layers,
columns, output format, image size and even
copyright line for your images. Check the
dialog box and you've made landing pages for
each object in your map!
