Xastir gains the ability to save as JPG or PNG only by ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick. We produce files in XPM format (X PixMap) because it's native to X. To produce JPG or PNG, Xastir would need to add a dependency on libjpg and/or libpng. Not necessarily a light undertaking.

Re: [Xastir] Radio frequency question from a simpleton
on 7/19/2007 3:40 PM Curt, WE7U said the following: > I've always heard that you can't protect a protocol, but IANAL. The typical way of protecting (in some sense) a protocol or standard is to aggressively protect the copyright of the specification document. The actual grouping of bits or whatnot that come about in the actual operation of an electronic protocol or standard cannot be trademarked, copyrighted, or patented, as far as I am aware. But any creative "work" can be copyrighted and in fact is automatically protected by U.S. copyright law upon its creation. In the case of APRS, the only things Bob can legally protect are: 1) The trademark "APRS" and "APRS - (Amateur|Automatic) (Position|Packet) Reporting Service" 2) The APRS Spec 1.0 and 1.1, though since those were created by a committee, I don't know if Bob has exclusive rights to copy that document or what. A person *could* create a specification document (of original, non-plagiarized information) that described a protocol compatible with APRS and could give it a name other than APRS and it would be perfectly legal, even if it would upset some folks. Recall on APRSSIG the fluff when someone proposed/introduced/mentioned Scott Miller's OpenTRAC protocol, which conveys much of the same information as APRS, only organized and regularized a bit differently from APRS. The central issue (with Bob) was that a different "protocol" would interfere with APRS if used on the same frequency. The truth is that in the FCC's eyes, APRS and OpenTRAC are both 20kHz (or thereabouts) wide AFSK FM modulated data with carrier-sense method of collision avoidance. Even beyond that minimal commonality, both APRS and OpenTRAC use identical (OSI Model) Level 2/3 protocol of AX.25 on the air. There's no possible way that OpenTRAC could interfere with APRS any more than APRS interferes with other APRS operation. In the end, it came out that Bob was worried that if people started using OpenTRAC on 144.39 MHz, then folks using APRS-only programs might not see all symbols on their screen that the packet-braaaping on the air would indicate. Note: I don't hate Bob B. or APRS or anything or anyone else. I just get annoyed by illogical arguments. Live long and prosper \V/ -- J.

Assuming you started kissattach to connect the port named eoc to the serial
port, of course.
Xastir does need SUID, but not because of the serial port. Xastir needs SU
privileges in order to open the eoc ax.25 port.

Take a screenshot of the map area you like, and set up a .geo file that references the corner points of the screenshot with the real locations under those corner points. Xastir cannot interface directly with external mapping programs, period.

There is an alternate ROM system for it (openzaurus) which comes in two flavors: Qt-based and X11-based. I've only tried the X11-based one superficially, not with xastir.

Re: [Xastir] Mapping
on 11/9/2006 2:02 PM Stephen Brown Jr said the following: At a bare minimum, I would like to have street level maps for a couple of states and then expand to include the entire U.S. What would be the best option based on what I want? Also, is there a good tutorial or reference that explains all these different types of maps available? Shapefiles will probably give you the best bang for the buck and with a little effort on your part and maybe some help from the list, you can get a very nice looking and nice acting Xastir setup. Shapefiles are a pure vector format, containing basically just a bunch of lines from here to there. A "shapefile" is actual a set of 3 files, often called the "holy trinity" by at least one GIS-type I've come across: a) map.shp Contains the actual point data for the lines or points b) map.shx I'm not certain, but I think this is an index of the .shp file to make searching quicker. c) map.dbf A very important file; this is a simple flat database with a one-to-one matching with the line segments in the map.shp file. This is where metadata about the line segments is stored. Xastir has a feature called dbfawk that allows you to define drawing styles (color, line width, and more) based on attributes in the .dbf file. Tom Russo has a good tutorial on using dbfawk files in Xastir: http://www.swcp.com/~russo/shape_web/tutorial.html (I don't know if that's on the wiki -- but if not, it ought to be!) With Xastir's map properties panel, you can set the minimum and maximum zoom levels at which a particular map will be drawn. (Using dbfawk files, you can even do this on a line-segment basis rather than a whole-file basis). This allows you to use less-complex, and therefore faster-drawing, shapefiles when zoomed out to a state or nation level, but switch to very detailed shapefiles when zoomed into a smaller area (county, etc.) With dbfawk files and the shapefiles generated from the Tiger data (ftp://aprs.tamu.edu/pub/Xastir/Maps/TIGER/xastir.tamu.edu/index.html), you could have xastir's maps look exactly like the Tiger server maps - only MUCH quicker! Using shapefiles, I was able to use the above maps for the whole state of Texas. This was good, but my county provides better quality map data (in shapefile format) that is more accurate, higher resolution, and more updated. So for my county, I use the county-provided map data and turned off that county with the Tiger shapefiles. See result at: http://aprs.lightningflash.net/ I hope this gets you started by answering a few questions. All of use on the list will be more than happy to answer any more questions you have about maps -- we all seem to get pretty excited over Xastir's mapping capabilities! 73 -Lance KJ5O -- J.

This server seems to be down --- or at least, when I try to connect to it I never get connected. There was talk a while ago of converting the more recent files. Is this still in the works (or should I say, are the folks who were going to do it still interested)? I think the administrator of the server had to take it down temporarily. I will try to find out if that is true. -Lance -- J. Lance Cotton, KJ5O [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kj5o.lightningflash.net Three Step Plan: 1. Take over the world. 2. Get a lot of cookies. 3.
