Does anyone know how the BMP2CTP2 Converter works? The included readme is a bit scanty. |

Somewhere in the forums is a Topic called Crashcourse in bmp2ctp2, but I'm not sure where I saw it. It helped explain a lot of things that the readme didn't but should have done.Ben |

Actually, I don't know how to convert the BMP-file to a CTP2-map. And what's the scale? Every dot or pixel a square on the map? |

If you use the execution command of bmptoctp2.exe -1 image.bmp image.txt then it's a direct conversion of one pixel to one square. If you leave out the -1 then it's every 2nd pixel vertical equals one pixel. I basically use a 210x210 bmp to create my 210x210 maps. Is that the answer you were looking for? |

It's going well, just have to collect a good oceanography image around 10800x5400 and add that to the topographic and landcover info. Have you read the thread on my preview, if you are going to use the convertor a little imput in any changes, if any can be made would probably improve the maps you make. I know it would improve mine. Hope to finish it in the first week of March after finals are over. Good luck on the maps Flo |
