[Xastir] Re: [aprssig] XASTIR and black maps
Andrew I've had that happen a couple of times. It's usually the result of Z-ordering, i.e. the map layer setting in the map chooser. Or have you recently used 'dbfawk' to customize your maps? I would start with a simple shapefile map and see if it displays correctly. Keep the ordering at the same level for all maps to start with...I think '1000' is the default level. It's the 'Properties' button in the map chooser. Once you get that map to display correctly, then start adding additional maps and adjusting the layering as necessary. 73 de KE4QKT Mark Andrew Rich wrote: Sorry to post here, the XASTIR list is dead at the moment.

Re: [Xastir] Okay you GURU'S
Hi Vic Well, the gurus (Curt et al.) may shun me but having used Xastir for several years now, both on Linux and Cygwin, I have never had any luck in getting GraphicsMagick or the recommended OpenMotif to work (compile issues and I'm too lazy to figure it out). So you're doing better than me. Of course this is all a mute point since Xastir 2.0 is coming down the pike shortlyisn't it? OK, maybe not.. ;-) Mark KE4QKT ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Re: [Xastir] What's the state of Cygwin these days?
Tom Russo wrote: After doing a little of the STFW thing, I refamiliarized myself with what the issue was --- the problem is that X.org dropped support for Display PostScript, and ImageMagick was built to use it. The result is that the ImageMagick package in cygwin is currently busted, unless you find three old DLLs that it requires. As far as I can tell, the ImageMagick package has not yet been rebuilt, as the maintainer of that package has announced he no longer has time to maintain it. The most recent message I've seen about the matter was from the end of August, and it does not appear that any new maintainer has stepped up to the plate. So since you say you built xastir, I'm guessing you did not include ImageMagick support. Is that right? If you *did* build it with ImageMagick, does ImageMagick actually work? (i.e. can you use web-based maps?) From the sound of it so far, there are two choices: 1) build ImageMagick from source on cygwin with the --with-dps=no (or some such option) or (b) find and install the three old DLLs that will temporarily continue to let ImageMagick think it has access to display postscript, or (5), just continue to not upgrade cygwin. I think I'll take that third one for a while longer. Oh yeah, you're right. It didn't work with the Cygwin version ImageMagick. Forgot about that - 6 weeks is a long time ;) I downloaded the source to that as well as the source to gdal and shapelib. I use the online tigermap and radar all the time - don't those maps require ImageMagick? 73 de ke4qkt Mark ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
