that's very complex, I'm not willing to do that sorry. The most I could do is prepare a "free-to-distribute" selection that could be either inclueded in QGis or downloaded, and allow to download the entire database from the cpt-city website, as well as having a means to get a minimal list (probably the same as the "free-to-distribute" selection. >>> >>> ok, let's start: >>> - at least one DEM >>> - one batymetry >>> - a red, a green,and a blue scale >>> - one "semaphore" (green to red through yellow) >>> - two other diverging >>> - more? >>> Maybe we could make a poll?
