Image Format
Choose a raster image format from the drop-down list. The choices vary depending on the server. MapInfo Pro supports the following formats: PNG, JPEG (JPG), TIFF (GeoTIFF and TIF) and GIF, in that order of priority. If more than one layer is in the right pane, only the formats the layers have in common will be available.
Image Background
Set the image background to transparent by checking the Transparent box. Set this when you wish to use the raster image as a layer above other layers. Set a background color by clicking the Color button to display the Color dialog box.
Coordinate Reference System Projection
The Coordinate Reference System Projections drop-down list displays all of the projections that the selected layers have in common. This list is disabled when the selected layers do not have any projections in common.
Important: If the Projections drop-down list is disabled, you cannot make a map request.
Table Filename
Specify a filename and location for the TAB file that will be created when you complete this dialog box and request a map. The TAB file is a pointer to an XML file that keeps track of the data you have selected for this map request. To retrieve the map again, open the TAB file like any other TAB file (assumes the server still maintains the data you specified).
Preferred View
MapInfo Pro displays your data in a window based on your selection. MapInfo Pro remembers your selection and uses it for every subsequent selection until you change it.
- Automatic - MapInfo Pro chooses the most appropriate view. If the data is mappable, such as when graphic objects are attached to the data, MapInfo Pro opens the table in a Map window. If you have a Map window displayed and the table you want to open is mappable, MapInfo Pro automatically opens the table in the current Map window. If the data is not mappable, MapInfo Pro will attempt to open the table in a Browser window. If the table cannot be mapped or browsed, MapInfo Pro opens the table using the No View option (no data is displayed).
- Browser - MapInfo Pro attempts to open the table in a Browser window.
- Current Mapper - MapInfo Pro attempts to add your data to the current Map window.
- New Mapper - MapInfo Pro attempts to open the table in a new Map window.
- No View - MapInfo Pro opens the table making the data available for other uses, but no data is displayed. You will see it in the Tables list in the Explorer window.
