[mkgmap-dev] cliffs and other one sided objects

Thu Dec 31 22:37:38 GMT 2020

Hi.
That worked really well, thanks for the answers!
Right side of a line is as the up side in the TYP image. :-)
I made the following:
in lines style:
(natural=cliff | natural=landslide | hazad=landslide) { name '${name}' } 
[0x10501 resolution 22]

and in the TYP:

[_line]
type=0x10501
;FOSKAN_TYPE: Cliff, edge, landslade or similar hazard
UseOrientation=Y
Xpm="32 4 2 1"
"* c #303030"
"  c none"
"    *          *          *     "
"   ***        ***        ***    "
"  *****      *****      *****   "
"********************************"
;12345678901234567890123456789012
String=Cliff, edge
String3=0x04,Cliff, edge
String6=0x07,Stup
String7=0x15,Urwisko
String10=0x0f,Stupe
ExtendedLabels=Y
FontStyle=NoLabel (invisible)
CustomColor=No
[end]

Shows very nicely, at least on a GPSMAP 66st.

Regards
Karl
