Re: [OSM-talk] shoreline_300, world borders _without_ rectangles

2009-05-07 Thread Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio
Hello,

if you want to see the border of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern matching exactly the 
Baltic coast, I think you'll have to edit one of the two datasets yourself 
(cut, remove, copy, union, etc.)

Anyway, how much precision do you need? In other words, which scale will the 
final map have? Or are you going to create some kind of web map viewer? if they 
differ by -for example- 500 meters it's not good enough for you?

regards
Juan Lucas

Hello Jukka,

the image that i want to create would be the blue marble in 
the
background and the borders of the world drawn on top of that,
just as an outline.

That way the satellite images would be most of it, but the 
borders
of states would be fine thin white lines.  Filling them would 
overwrite
all the satellite image background.


Best regards,
Torsten.

  i'm glad i got the blu marble working nw and can create a

  looks really great.

  I can't use the shoreline_300 file as it is split into 
several polygons
  and adds heaps of plates to the earth and does not look 
good.

 I have not had a look at shoreline_300 but have you tried to 
draw the
 polygons with fill but without outline?

[OSM-talk] shoreline_300, world borders _without_ rectangles

Hello,

i'm glad i got the blu marble working nw and can create a map of the whole
world with the satellite images of the earth as background.  It looks really
great.

But what would be great if i could also overlay the world / continents /
islands / states borders as outline.

I can't use the shoreline_300 file as it is split into several polygons
and adds heaps of plates to the earth and does not look good.

Does anybody know a way to get the world outline (as in shoreline_300)
but without the plates (interruptions of the polygons)?

Is it maybe possible to get these data from PostGIS with a clever SQL
request?


Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.
