Extract polygon vertices coordinates of selected polygon?

[esrispy]

Is there some easy way to display a polygons vertices x,y ; x1,y1 ;
x2, y2

as with centroid coordinates

note centroidX(selection.obj) & " ;" & centroidY(selection.obj)

[Uffe Kousgaard]

If I have to do that, I normally select the polygon, export to MIF and
view the content in a text file editor.

I don't think MapInfo has any easy method built-in. Definitely something
for the wish list.

So what would you use this for?
Just to be able to see the coordinates in a listbox?

Delete some of them thru the dialog?

Change the coordinates of some of them thru the dialog?

Zoom to a coordiante in the list?

Could all 3 be usefull at some point. You never know :-)

I'm with Uffe on the advantage of recovering coordinates in a list box.  So much effort goes into putting field data into GIS for analysis.  Sometimes we overlook the other direction---getting GIS data back into the field.  I have needed to find my way, on the ground, to a boundary between two mapped polygons.  A list and a handheld GPS works in even the most difficult circumstances.

I can also imagine that conventional land surveyors may wish to change coordinates by way of a dialog.  New data comes in, they wish to resize a plat to show the revisions.  Trying to do that graphically seems tedious.

Sincerely,
Dave S.

Hi Peter
just messing around with Googlemaps javascript api to see what we can
use it for.
Made a little exportfunction for pointfeatures in MapInfo to clickable
pointfeatures with their attributedata to a htm.file with javascripts.
Now in API V3 I see there is a possibility to add polygons from
vectordata using the vertices, and it would be kind if cool to export
a whole map this way with points, lines and polygons.
Heres one quick export to a html file from some selected points in
mapinfo, little buggy yet but anyways.
(If coded ASP somtime you se alot of resemblence, but instead of vb-
script generating the html /javascripts the mapbasic do the work)

If you want to export a MapInfo table to kml, you can use the Google Earth Utility that comes with MI Pro.

Just remember to select the vectors that should be exported and choose vectors not Image.

Yes I know about the kml export approach, anyhow its sometimes good to
have everything in a single htm file you can attach in a mail etc with
just one buttonclick from MI.
