Here's a couple: http://www.csc.noaa.gov/shoreline/world_vec.html http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/shorelines.html > (or are there other standard basemap formats that people on this list > are using)? I've used whatever the World Vector Shoreline is in (that's in the FloatCanvas Demo) I also use BNA, which is a simple text format, but fairly unusual. Lots of data is in Shape Files these days, which you can read with pyShapelib or org: http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ org supports lots of other formats too. I just used org to read a shapefile of polygons for the first time. It wasn't too painful. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ FloatCanvas mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mithis.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/floatcanvas
