TABLE MAPINFO UPDATE

Live scrolling (results update as you scroll)? Yep + no lag. Multi column sorting is on the to-do list. Just click the header and it will sort that column. Even with a large table open the resize speed doesnвЂ™t change. Lets run though the same list as MapInfo. So I guess the overall point of this post is to compare the QGIS attribute table (browser) and the new MapInfo 11 one. Now if you are reading this blog you are well aware that I am a huge fan of QGIS, I donвЂ™t really make that a secret. Overall reaction: Disappointed Enter QGIS In the end we have a browser that is pretty much the same as the old one but slowerвЂ¦вЂ¦oh and has alternating row colors. I guess the old browser did this too so why change it!ДЄnd finally shift click to select a block of rows doesnвЂ™t work, I mean come on this is not a hard thing to do. When you move the little scroll box on the side the browser waits until you have finished to show you the data. Yes this is a pretty handy feature but no it shouldnвЂ™t be the only way to sort, you should have a click on the header kind of sort. This is not the normal just click on the header to sort the column, no because that would be too easy, you have to right click in the browser, click sort and select the options which then opens a new browser window. Then we have sorting, which is meant to be the cool new feature. NET WPF for the new browser (I have never seen a good fast. sigh So whatвЂ™s the problem?ДЇirst off itвЂ™s slow to resize, this would be due to them using. I thought вЂњSweet! About timeвЂќ and then we got a copy. PBBI then announced that MapInfo 11 would have a new вЂњimprovedвЂќ browser.

MapInfoвЂ™s browser window was in need of a very good make over it didnвЂ™t follow normal keyboard conventions, eg holding shift to select rather than ctrl couldnвЂ™t sort via the headers keyboard navigation was poor and it looked ugly. PBBI have recently released MapInfo 11, the new version has brought one change that I think deserves some attention вЂ“ even if for the wrong reasons. Warning: This post contains small rants! You have been warned. Also if you find any bugs let me know in the comments or log a issue on If you do find it handy let me know, I would love to hear peoples feedback. Like I said at the start, hopefully other people will find this tool handy as I know I have.

The program can be found at В and more detailed instructions and download link can be found at. Although if you are using custom MapInfo 3.0 symbols you will get the default QGIS black square symbol,you can just change it to something better after loading the QML.Д¬urrently the program only support converting symbols but I plan on adding line and region support sometime in the future. mapinfoToQgis.py will use the same fonts in QGIS as you did in MapInfo and select to the correct symbol size.

If you are using MapInfo Font symbols or normal MapInfo 3.0 everything should come across almost exactly. Step 3: Load QML file in QGIS Result from running mapinfoToQGIS.py Python mapinfoToQgis.py WaterFittings.Tab WatterFittings.qml -c FittingType -UseMapInfo

Long story short, after a bit of clean up andВ writingВ a user guide I would like release version 0.1 of the MapInfo To QGIS Style Generator for wider testing.

TABLE MAPINFO HOW TO

Almost a 1 to 1В conversion! Once I worked out how to convert MapInfo point size to QGIS symbol size, and MapInfo colour value to RGB it was just a matter of generating a QML with the correct values. Knowing that QGIS uses QML (a XML file format) to store it style information, and that MapInfo was able to export a style string for each object, I compared what QGIS generated for its QML using the same symbol I picked in QGIS as I had in MapInfo.

I thought вЂњthere has to be some way I can automate thisвЂ¦вЂќ and so the MapInfo To QGIS Style Generator (or mapinfoToQgis.py) was born. If we only had a handful of layer this wouldnвЂ™t be such a pain but we have a lot of tables and it would take me months to go though each one manually and style them. Hopefully this tool can be of some use to people, as I know it has been very helpful to me since I made it.ДЄs IвЂ™m a pretty heavy QGIS user now, and my work place still stores most, if not all, of our data MapInfo TAB format, one friction point for me using QGIS was having to restyle all the MapInfo layers.
