[Flightgear-devel] question about btg files.
I am successfully generating now pdf with maps of the surrounding of an airport, but something worries me about: If I generate a map of KSFO, I see a hole just south west of HALF MOON BAY, just upon the ocean. my question is: Am I badly rendering the pdf or the triangles are intentionally missing over the ocean ? to make myself clear: here is the resulting pdf with a black rectangle in the second page (Intentionally black for this email). http://assistenza.larasrl.net/brisa/fgfs/temp/KSFO.pdf cheers Francesco -- Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.

It's a bit difficult to tell what precisely is causing the hole as long as we don't know how your procedure works. Anyhow I suspect that it's exactly this: A hole in the terrain, a region which is not covered by _any_ land cover type and therefore is left blank. Terrain holes default to ocean in FlightGear.

thanks Martin, further research: zooming out the map makes more holes just only on the oceans... fixed using default background color as ocean. cheers Francesco 2011/6/4 Martin Spott martin.sp...@mgras.net Ciao Franceso, Francesco Angelo Brisa wrote: I am successfully generating now pdf with maps of the surrounding of an airport, but something worries me about: If I generate a map of KSFO, I see a hole just south west of HALF MOON BAY, just upon the ocean. my question is: Am I badly rendering the pdf or the triangles are intentionally missing over the ocean ?
