Placing Graphic Information in Visible Columns
Update Column is also useful to put graphic information into columns so that it is visible. Tables that
contain map objects store the graphic information about these objects invisibly. Using Update Column,
you can bring some of that information into a column so it can be viewed in a Browser. Update Column
with CentroidX(Obj), CentroidY(Obj) uses the Session Projection Preferences (if set), otherwise it defaults
to Longitude/Latitude. For example, you want to display the longitude and latitude coordinates of a table
of radio station point locations in a Browser. In this example, you are only working with one table,
RADIOLOC, but you still use Update Column as in the Add Temporary Column example.
• For more information, see Placing Geographic Information in Visible Columns in the Help System.
