RMAP(1) 		     General Commands Manual			 RMAP(1)

NAME
     rmap - Map portions of the earth from long/lat info

SYNOPSIS
       rmap --cities --zoom=20 --category=all --yrot=-120
	    --xrot 35 --continent=all --outfile=south_california.gif

DESCRIPTION
     This  manual page documents the utility rmap.  rmap is a small utility that
     goes against a custom format of the CIA's world data bank II global  vector
     information  to  generate images of the earth from either a distance fairly
     zoomed in.  There are a variety of options to control the	display  of  the
     image.   The  format  of the image depends on the version of libgd that you
     have.  Older versions generate gifs, but due to copyright issues, the newer
     ones generate png or jpegs.

OPTIONS
     --zoom number
	  Zoom level of the earth.  Deafault is 1 which is the whole earth.

     --xrot number
	  Rotate the earth around the x-axis (Latitude) in degrees.

     --yrot number
	  Rotate the earth around the y-axis (Longitude) in degrees.

     --zrot number
	  Rotate the earth around the z-axis in degrees.

     --colorfile filename
	  The path to the colorfile which defines the colors various things will
	  be displayed in, or if they will be displayed at all.  If the value is
	  not specified, the file ~/.rmaprc will be checked, and  then	the  de-
	  fault  file  (rmap.colors).  The location of this file is specified at
	  compile time based on the either the --prefix or --datadir options  to
	  configure.

     --datafile filename
	  The path to the datafile.  The default location of this file is speci-
	  fied at compile time based on the either the --prefix or --datadir op-
	  tions to configure.

     --outfile filename
	  The  path  of  the  image to be generated.  If none is specified, then
	  EarthImage will be generated in the current working directory.

     --continent list
	  Either the word `all' or a  list  of	comma  seperated  numbers  where
	  1=Africa,  2=Asia, 3=Europe, 4=N. America, 5=S. America.  If no option
	  is specified then `all' is assumed.

     --category list
	  Either the word `all' or a list of comma seperated numbers where  1=US
	  State  Boundaries, 2=Rivers, 3=International Boundaries, 4=Coasts, Is-
	  lands, Lakes.  If no option is specified then `all' is assumed.

     --height number
	  The height of the image to generate, in pixles.

     --width number
	  The width of the image to generate, in pixles.

     --nogridlines
	  Do not display gridlines ontop of the  earth.   By  default  they  are
	  drawn in red, spaced at 15 degrees.

     --cities
	  Overlay all applicable city names (from the file city.h) on top of the
	  image.

     -h   Display a brief help page, then terminate.

     -v   Display the version of code.

BUGS
     This  is  the first released version, so there are bound to be bugs.  Also,
     as always, beware of buffer overflow attacks if you use this in a web-based
     application.
