The Polyline Object (Read Only) dialog box opens when the layer that the object resides in is not editable. On the HOME tab, in the Windows group, click Tool Windows, and click Layers from the list, to open the Layers window, where you can specify layer settings.

Use the Polyline Object dialog box to view the polyline's location, length, line segments, and smoothness.

Bounds X1, Y1 and X2, Y2

The lower left (X1, Y1) and upper right (X2, Y2) corners of the polyline's minimum bounding rectangle (the smallest rectangle that can fully enclose the polyline).

Center X, Y

The coordinate of the midpoint of the middle segment. When there is an even number of segments, the middle segment is defined to be segment N/2 + 1, with N equal to the number of segments. So if you had eight segments, MapInfo Pro would report the center of the fifth segment, or 8/2 + 1.

Total Length

Total length of the line segments.

Line Segments

The number of segments is the total number in all sections of the polyline.

Sections

Polylines can have multiple sections.
