Good Day

1. Please explain how i can integrate mappoint and ESRI maps.
2. As per ESRI Custom Map Integration manual, Color of shape (field 10) is in RGB format. However in RGB we get numbers 0-255, but in ESRI Custom Map Integration manual, we get numbers like 33023. Please explain how we convert the RGB numbers in ESRI readable format.

Thank you

Good Morning,

1. ESRI Map integration is explained in the following document

2. 33023 is an RGB number: R=3 G=30 B=23. You can see a color chart with sample RGB values on the second to last page of the manual.

Hi

Please send link to download document. Note however that I already have ESRI Custom Map Integration.pdf, which explains integration in checkmate. This is what I'm actually trying, and it is fine so far, except point 2 below. I read in a previous post that i can integrate it with mappoint. I want to try checkmate with mappoint, as per post 'Zone issues' reply 07 Apr 2010 08:39 PM.

2. I do not really understand the RGB conversion. For example, 12639424 is Lime Green as per manual. I cannot break it into RGB with R=126 G=394 B=24, or R=12 G=639 B=424

Thank you

The document is linked in the previous post, simply click on "document"
As for RGB question, that is actually lime green in RGB but I do agree that most of the other "RGB Codes" on that table do not make sense. I will have to confirm whether this table needs to be updated with the developers.

The basic color chart is correct, the conversion from that number to the typical (R,G,B) style is through binary.
Here is an example for you using that Lime Green color you mentioned:

Step 1: Convert 12639424 into binary.

Result: 110000001101110011000000

Step 2: Separate that binary number in groups of 8 starting from the right.
11000000 , 11011100 , 11000000

Step 3: Convert each octet from binary to decimal.
11000000 = 192,
11011100 = 220,
11000000 = 192

Now that you have the numbers in decimal you get: R=192, G=220, B=192

Thank you for the RGB conversion.

Something else concerning ERSI (Silly that we never come to an end... :) ). According to the ESRI custom map integration manual, we need to input the zoom levels in some fields. Actually, I'm doing it by trial and errors, and getting successfull results. Is there a way to get the zoom levels in checkmate?

Thank you
