Format of service section .SETUP
The section is created automatically, but can be edited manually. Location of section - in the end of a text file. .SETUP - header (key) from the first position; Further there are strings .. .. Format of strings: field1 field2 field3 , where field1 - number (key) of the table field in header of MIF file; field2 - name of a table field; field3 - attribute include/not include (1/0) this field into the table.
Structure of records for section .SQUARE of square objects. To set value of a line thickness in points, it is necessary to calculate value for record in M2M by the following formula:
Value = Point *10+10, where Point - required line thickness in points (MapInfo), Value - number which is stored in m2m.
Example: For object 51400000 a line thickness should be 0,5 point. Then value = 0.5*10+10=15. In a file m2m settings will look like this: 51400000 0 61 (255,102,0) (0,0,0) 2 ( 0, 0, 0) 15 |
