I'm not a guru, but I'll make some noise until they show up... Off the top of my head, I see 3 solutions: 1 - you generate a bunch of these URLs, save the images, and create .geo files to go with them. I tried to do this with TIGER once upon a time, but their screwball (sinusoidal?) projection was off badly enough to make this useless. I don't think you will have this problem. 2 - create a bunch of .geo files that will automatically fetch the image from the server. 3 - write some xastir code along the lines of the newly defunct TIGER code that will automatically generate URLs and fetch the images. > Testcall: > http://openwms.statkart.no/skwms1/wms.kartdata2?VERSION=1.1.1&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetMap&SRS=EPSG:32633&BBOX=56213.79,6531782.63,422222.04,6823820.71&LAYERS=Kartdata2_WMS&STYLES=&WIDTH=762&HEIGHT=608&FORMAT=image/png&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=FALSE Hmm, the EPSG:32633 is troublesome. This refers to a projection that is not WGS84. I tried substituting 4326 (the code for WGS84) and it didn't work. This leads me to believe you're stuck with option 1, with the added requirement of using GDAL or your favorite GIS raster tools to reproject the maps into WGS84 as an extra step. I guess if you are really serious you could implement option 3 with the added step of adding GDAL support directly into xastir and reproject on the fly. Now I'll step back and wait for the folks who actually know something about GIS to comment. :) -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
