Description
Xrmap FOR LINUX
Xrmap is a program running under X that can interactively display portions of the Earth, using the huge CIA world vector map. The Xrmap program provides a user-friendly X client for generating images of the Earth and manipulating the CIA World data bank II global vector information (a huge geodata set of about 45 MB).
Key Features:
- Coastlines and islands
- Political boundaries
- Major and minor rivers
- Glaciers, lakes, canals, reefs, etc.
- Zoom in capability up to a factor of 100 or more
- Comprehensive data set of about 20000 world cities and locations
Advanced Functionality:
Xrmap is derived from the rmap console only utility by Reza Naima. However, xrmap has many more features than the original 'rmap', especially implementing Rectangular, Mercator, and Miller projections in addition to the Spherical projection. It also supports reverse search of coordinates, allowing for interactive parameter and configuration settings from the GUI.
Supported Image Formats:
- ppm
- xpm
- ps
- Compressed ppm.gz, xpm.gz, ps.gz formats
Xrmap is capable of producing images without entering the GUI, as most parameters can be alternatively set via command line options. However, Xrmap requires the X environment to do so, unlike rmap.
