Toolbox for MapInfo

ToolBox is a collection of MapBasic programs for performing these tasks:
  • Add Nodes
  • Convex hull / Rubberband
  • Extended Table Info
  • Locate the nearest object in one table for all objects in another table – Very fast
  • Locate the N nearest object in one table for all objects in another table – Very fast
  • Location of facilities
  • Map Colouring
  • Minimum spanning tree
  • Remove holes from regions
  • Simplification of polylines/regions. This removes insignificant nodes from objects
  • Split of (poly)lines at predefined distances, e.g. for every 100 meters.
  • Split multi section polylines/regions into single sections
  • Triangulation (TIN)
  • Voronoi polygons
Requires MapInfo 4.5 or better. Download the free version (180 KB) to see and use it for yourself.
This is now unrestricted and free to use.

Samples

Add Nodes:

Convex hull / Rubberband:
Left: Normal centroid based rubberband, Right: Based on complete objects

Extended table information:

Location of facilities:

Map Coloring:

Minimum spanning tree:

Nearest Object (showing ID of nearest center):

Nearest Object (showing distance to nearest center):

Remove holes from regions:

Simplification of polylines/regions:
(The red line is the original dataset and the black is the new)

Split of line objects at predefined distances:
(Here for every 100 meters)

Triangulation:

Voronoi polygons:

This is the final result of a voronoi analysis, which also involved several other tools from ToolBox:
