The package offers a set of PSTricks related packages for
|
|
various cartographic projections of the terrestrial sphere. The
|
|
package pst-map2d provides conventional projections such as
|
|
Mercator, Lambert, cylindrical, etc. The package pst-map3d
|
|
treats representation in three dimensions of the terrestrial
|
|
sphere. Packages pst-map2dII and pst-map3dII allow use of the
|
|
CIA World DataBank II. Various parameters of the packages allow
|
|
for choice of the level of the detail and the layouts possible
|
|
(cities, borders, rivers etc). Substantial data files are
|
|
provided, in an (internally) compressed format. Decompression
|
|
happens on-the-fly as a document using the data is displayed,
|
|
printed or converted to PDF format. A Perl script is provided
|
|
for the user to do the decompression, if the need should arise.
