Introduction
This page contains a brief introduction to the MapInfo software. A number of MapInfo tasks which are repeatedly used in creating a TUFLOW model are described below, each of these has a separate page.
MapInfo File Formats
A number of files with the same name but different extensions make up a MapInfo table. A brief description of the MapInfo file formats, in particular the MapInfo Interchange (.MIF and .MID) are provided here: MapInfo File Formats.

- Export a .MIF/.MID
- Layer Control
- Editing a Table
- Incrementing a Table
- Change Data Attributes
Tips and Tricks
- Pack Table
- Move Snapped Nodes

- Setting Default Style from an Existing Layer
- Digitising Along Common Boundary or Object
- Hotlinking (Open Data in external program)
- Setting the Number of Undo Objects
- Labelling Numbers using Fixed Number of Decimal Places
- Selecting Subsets
- Concatenating Labels
- Using MapInfo String Functions
- Joining Tables (Updating a table with data from a second table)
- MapInfo Find Information Window
