Hi Stacho, Here is the data off the embut de la Pinee, including whatever cause this wrong extended elevation map. I have not included any scan images (except for the ext. elevatin itself) as it would have be over 4 Mo large... I have corrected some (not all) the "scrap intersects itself" bugs in my maps (its a bit tedious, I cannot do it directly in the map editor, because of the splitline bug...). I also tried, after our discussion, to produced a large-scale "filled galeries" map, on which I wanted to have only the scal and north arrow, but no other headers... I have the feeling that I need redefine some tex-level macros for that, but th ebook is not very useful, it only specifies layout changes for the atlas. I have browsed through the tex sources, but I have nor been able to identify the layout macro (or the header macro) for Maps. I tried something like: layout shadow500 scale 1 500 legend off map-header 100 100 w symbol-hide group all symbol-show point entrance scale-bar 100 m color map-bg 100 color map-fg 0 endlayout export map -o ombre.pdf -layout shadow500 It works, but I'd like: - to remove all header texts (or eventually keep just a title) - add something like "show area water", may be in a different color... Cheers, Eric.
