OK, I have investigated this a little. All seems to be OK as far as I can see.
I grabbed new checkouts from CVS of plib, SimGear, Flightgear data (bas), and Atlas.
I built plib, then SimGear, then Atlas under cygwin (updated yesterday) on Win2K. I
had to use LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" when configuring Atlas, but otherwise no special
flags or options.
I downloaded the w130n50 scenery from the 0.9.2 set, and installed it in the FGFS data
directory as normal.
I ran (all on one line):
Map --size=128 --autoscale --fgroot=/home/richard.bytheway/FGFS/data
--atlas=/home/richard.bytheway/FGFS/data/Atlas --smooth-color
which generated a series of 1�x1� maps of the SF region, and w130n50 region, which are
the only two areas of scenery installed. I have put w130*.png up at
http://sucs.org/~mocelet/fgfs/map/ for reference.
As your file showed, w130n50.png is nearly all blue. There must be something there
otherwise it would not have made a png file (note that there is no w130n51.png file).
The other png files have lots fo land in, as do the vast majority of the png files
that I haven't copied to the web server.
I then thought that you might actually want one image file of the whole w130n50
region. You can get this with the command line (tweak the numbers to suit your
requirements):
Map --lat=55 --lon=-125 --size=512 --scale=1000 --smooth-color
which generates a file called map.png. I have put a copy of what I got at
http://sucs.org/~mocelet/fgfs/map/map.png (340K).
If I run Map with --verbose, I get lots (and I mean lots) of "unknown material"
warnings and some "unknown format" warnings, but the maps generate all the same.
Hope that helps.
