Subject: [Mapit] pastetiles script
Message-ID: <6qofy82tm5.fsf@abnoba.intevation.de>

Hi all,

I've just checked in a script that pastes all tiles in a directory into
one giant output image. The script is called pastetiles and you can find
it in src/tools.

It's usage message:

Usage: pastetiles dir outputfile

Read all image files in the directory dir and paste them into one giant
image and write it as outputfile. The output file type is determined
from the output filename.

The names of the image files must follow the scheme used by the
mapit-tiles, that is, <x>x<y>.<ext> where <x> and <y> are the indices of
the tile. The indices are expected to follow the same scheme as the ones
in the examples where the y index increases from bottom to top.

NOTE: The result image is held completely in memory, so the script may
require *huge* amounts of memory.


  Bernhard

Hi Mapitter!

As christmas present a version 0.8 is released.
We now have the possibility to add URLs to the marker files.
(So the makerdefs file format has changed slightly.)

We also have new free example data, covering europe.

So far only source releases exists.
We will produces A Windows Installer Version when time permits us to do
so (it is christmas) in the next days.

Merry christmas,
	Bernhard

Subject: [Mapit] MapInfo integration
Message-ID: <000e01c07139$6a030030$40e3e53f@Rocco>

I am currently a MapInfo user and was wondering if anyone has easily
integrated
MapInfo workspaces into MAPIT?  I have not thoroughly read through all of
the
specifications but notice that it may be an extensive project to get maps
from
MapInfo to MAPIT. Is this true?
Thanks

I am currently using MapInfo and was wondering if it is possible to
integrate workspaces from MapInfo into MAPIT?  I have not thoroughly read
through the specifications but it seams to be a large task to get maps from
MapInfo to MAPIT.  Is this true?
Thanks

I am not familiar with MapInfo and don't know about MapInfo
workspaces. However, MapIt! serves only raster maps and 
points of interest in a very efficient way.
It is not intended to make it a full-blown
web mapping application. So if you are looking for a
powerful vector-based web mapping application you
should have a look at the Free Software product MapServer
(see on freegis.org for the link).

If you would like to link MapIt! to the raster map database
of MapInfo: this is of course possible but needs work
on the MapIt! side to access the MapInfo DB (would be an interesting
project). The same is true for the points of interest.
BTW, MapIt! is Free Software, so if you like to try this
extension on your own we would be happy to support you.

Cheers and a happy new millenium

	Jan
