Generating map of particular area

Hello all,

I've had a good look through the forum (I would search, but I'm not sure what terms to use!) but not been able to find out the following:

(How) is it possible to programatically generate a map of a particular area and export it? What I'm trying to do is map a load of pushpins (no problem here), export it a a bimap (no problem here) and then repeat the same process for a new set of data. The problem is that I want the region exported to line up exactly so that I can use the consecutive images as frames in an animation to show a trend over time.

Does that make any sense? Can anyone help?

Thanks,

TKW

Hi,

I'm not sure if I have understand completely, but you can add your pushpins, then use the Dataset.Zoomto() method, export the bitmap, delete the dataset, then repeat with the next part of data.

If I have understand wrong, please rephrase your question (English is not my native language).

I'm a newbie to Mappoint, but I think the issue is getting the bounding box of each data set to be the same.

TKW, you may need to precompute the bounding box for all your sets, then use these points to create an invisible data set to ZoomTo.
