Maps for UI-view (by SV1LL)

Welcome to the map page! In the pages that follow you see my attempts to transfer my GIS maps to the UI-view environment.

The use of UI program has several limitations which i try to address with 1) accuracy and 2) beauty in mind:

  1. Charts must be BITMAP images (GIF, JPG and PNG in newer versions)
  2. Charts has to be ORTHOGONAL and in MERCATOR projection.
  3. Charts must have SUBTLE COLORS so the icons are well presented (you can't affect the brightness of the background image)
Map images are made with several options in mind. Many have a huge amount of details which are of no use to the APRS application.

Καλωσήρθατε στη σελίδα των χαρτών! Στις σελίδες που ακολουθούν παρουσιάζω τις προσπάθειές μου να μεταφέρω τους χάρτες μου στο περιβάλλον του UI-view.

Αυτό δεν είναι πάντα εύκολο λόγω των περιορισμών που επιβάλλει το πρόγραμμα:

  1. Οι χάρτες πρέπει να είναι ΕΙΚΟΝΕΣ (GIF, JPG ή PNG στις νέες εκδόσεις)
  2. Οι χάρτες πρέπει να είναι ΟΡΘΟΓΩΝΙΟΙ και σε ΜΕΡΚΑΤΟΡΙΚΗ προβολή
  3. Οι χάρτες πρέπει να έχουν ΧΑΜΗΛΗ ΦΩΤΕΙΝΟΤΗΤΑ/ΑΝΤΙΘΕΣΗ ωστε να ξεχωρίζουν τα εικονίδια χωρίς να μπερδεύονται με τις άλλες πληροφορίες (αυτό θα λυθεί όταν το πρόγραμμα επιτρέψει τη ρύθμιση της φωτεινότητας της εικόνας του χάρτη)
Οι χάρτες φτιάχνονται με γνώμονα 1) την μεγαλύτερη δυνατή ακρίβεια, 2) την όμορφη/ξεκούραστη εμφάνιση, και 3) το "συμμαζεμένο" μέγεθος. Δεν είναι πάντα εύκολο να συμβιβάσεις αυτά τα τρία!
