James,
This sounds interesting - to make sure I understand are you saying that you
can use gdalcontour to process image files and extract boundaries from
it....like forests from satellite images?   I had never thought of doing
that - what a good idea!  I thought it would only have worked with
monochrome images.

I would really like this because I am keen to add forests to the map to help
with outdoor navigation, but my eyes are not up to tracing them from
satellite images.   Is this something that could be automated into an editor
to highlight areas you might want to trace around?

Regards


Graham.
