I have some Mif files who generates lines form trainstation to trainstation.
Is it possible to make these lines as a 'pushpin' so data from an sql database can be shown. I allready have the pushpins from the stations and those work excellent.
How do I adjust the *.mif file or are there other options.
TIA.

Generally you would use MapInfo or other GIS software to manipulate GIS data.. the mid/mif specification is not that difficult however, you may be able to use Perl or other text manipulation engine to process the data.

OK i can use untra edit for the mif/mid files.
What do i have to change to get a 'clickable' line?

I'm not sure what you mean by a click-able line.. maybe this is something that would be done in the Spatial Data Importer developer sample?

by a clickable line a mean a line with x an y coordinates.
(by example a railroad)
Like an pushpin must it be possible for the complete line to be a link to another page with information.
Is this possible?

You can't do that with a line.. only pushpins. I'd recommend having a pushpin somewhere along the line for a user to click on.

OK too bad..
But is it possible to color the lines automatically. Out of values from a database...
The source of the lines are mifs.. who i import with spatial data import.
