Window_Saver_with_Tab.MBX is used to save a mapper window as a georeferenced jpg image with a tab file and jgw file. As such it is a simple extension of the standard MI File menu command of save window. The tab file is set to the projection of the window.

Written and compiled in MB 4.

If the version of MI being used is 650 or later, the window is saved at twice the size, otherwise at window size.

The jgw file is provided to enable users of other GI systems to reference the image. No prj file is produced. If you need a .prj file, draw a rectangle in the cosmetic layer, save the cosmetic layer and use UT to export the resulting saved tab file as shape. Rename the output .prj file to the name of the saved window.

If you compress the output file to ecw or mrsd remember to edit the tab file to give the raster file the correct extension and to change the extension of the jgw file to eww or sdw(?). An example is in the zip file.
