[GIS] How to create a circular sector in Mapinfo

mapbasicmapinfopolygon-creation

I want to build a tool that creates a cell sector from data like that below. The sector diagram should be like the second picture. The first picture shows a Mapinfo tab file with the required fields Antenna beam, Azimuth, Band, (the radius), Latitude, and Longitude. How could I achieve this? I had a look at a link in mapinfo-L but the solution was not conclusive!

Result Cell Sector

Best Answer

Have a look at the MapBasic code in the zip file here. It doesn't create sectors for multiple cells, but could easily be adapted to do so.

[GIS] How to create a Button with custom Icons in Mapinfo 10

Two things to try:

1. Add the full path to your icon.dll. I normally create a constant aóutside the main procedure and refer to this for all my buttons:

Define FILE_ICONS_DLL  ApplicationDirectory$() & "Icons.dll"

Sub Main
   Create ButtonPad "mybuttonpad"  As
        ToggleButton
        ID 1001
        Icon 8001 File FILE_ICONS_DLL
          Calling vendor_ButtonAction
          HelpMsg "ICONTEST"

2. If that doesn't fix it, try to use lower numbers for you icons, for instance 1 (and 2). Also I assume that you added the small icons as no 8001 and the larger as no 8002. Right?
