Re: [Xastir] Feature Request re: Shapefile maps
All, A script could be written and run under root/sudo privileges that does the WGET, then puts in zero length files as placeholders if there are no files present in the download package. Xastir would have to accept zero length as a legit file. Now, there would have to be some way of forcing a map regen to update these files. I know that when I get down to county level, the rendering does take a bit. This would be a good help at displaying SBW's since they are not coming over WXSVR, at least here.

Is there any way, or a pointer to the code to fix it myself and submit a diff back, where this is handled. To get around it, I copied a shape file with polygons over it to the same file, did a rescan so they show up, then put them back after I selected them. Essentially, in this case, the map chooser should consider a 0 shape shapefile valid. This is a fun one to reproduce because the source files at NWS are changed on a 1 minute basis. Which leads to second question, does Xastir automatically re-render these when they change or is there something I need to do to make it so.

[Xastir] Re: Ubuntu 7.10 and XASTIR
Robert I am real suprised there has been no response to your query on this. A search of the thread under the mail list seems to sugest you have no replies. I wonder if the very small window you get opening looks like a vertical Cigar ? I wonder if you are using Gnome with the restricted drivers and say a Nvidia Video card ? If this is all affirmative so far then have a look at the thread earlier this month and the month before about "Cigar problem" .. We have found that the Cigar issue seems to centre around Gnome and Restricted Drivers with the "Desktop Effects" enabled . Well thats how it was for me. Have a search for the "Desktop Effects" in the system menu from memory. Mine was set to Normal and this caused the Cigars to appear. Setting it to OFF fixed it along with using XFce and KDE desktops.

My maps (national atlas and TIGER shapfiles) have lots of filled polygons near me (lake, wildlife refuge, etc), and the filled polygons cover the radar. Since Tom split the polygons from the lines on the latest TIGER shapefiles, I can probably do some map layer rearranging and partially solve the problem for close-in work, but my nat'l atlas stuff needs more work. Thanks for all the info/suggestions. -Jason kg4wsv ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
Re: [Xastir] Re: Xastir Digest, Vol 32, Issue 19
Feedback I've gotten from NWS on their preferences for severe wx, spotters and radar is to have radar atop everything except spotters. That said, everyone is able to change layers as they see fit... gerry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why not just set the radar layer as the bottom layer and draw everything on top of that?

[Xastir] Maps missing
I just loaded Xastir on my new MacBook Pro, nice, real nice... I love the speed. Anyway, when I'm at home I usually just use Online maps, but despite the fact that they are all in the appropriate folder they are not showing up in the Map Chooser Properties list. The folder (Online for example) is listed in the Chooser but when I click on Properties, there is nothing listed. Any ideas? The following maps are in the Online folder; CanadaTopo50k.geo, CanadaTopo250k.geo, terraserver-reflectivity.geo, terraserver-topo.geo, terraserver-urban.geo terraserver.geo tigermap.geo, TXRadar.geo, USRadar.geo, WMSRadar.geo I loaded Xastir 1.9.2 below is the configure string I entered; ./configure --prefix=/sw --with-rtree --with-bdb-incdir=/sw/include/ db4 --with-bdb-libdir=/sw/lib --with-imageMagick=/sw/lib/ ImageMagick-6.3.7 ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
