Based on "Mapper.xml", written by the man at
http://naikrovek.org.
Including batch file by tonyis3l33t.
Features
- Parses eq2log.txt to create SVG file
- Auto Scale/Auto Center
Get a quick, fullscreen preview of your map in your favorite SVG editor. Regardless of your state of completion, the map will always be automagically scaled and centered to fit in the center of the viewable page.
- Color Lines:
"/em color <colorname>" sets the current and all subsequent lines colors.
"/em color" resets the color of the current and subsequent lines to black.
EX:
/em color blue
/em color purple
- Autocalc Zonerect and Elevation data
Zonerect info and Min/Max elevations are automatically put on the bottom of your document.
- Lines are "Paths" not "Polylines"
Rather than creating SVG polylines, Mapper2 uses DVG Paths. This allows for one click editing in Inkscape, rather than converting to an object and then editing.
** New in v1.5 **
- SVG Grouping of related lines
Use /em group to start a new group. All lines between "groups" will be grouped together. Very handy for doing multiple level maps in a single logfile.
- SVG Grouping based on elevation
Lines will be grouped based on the AVERAGE height of the whole line segment. Lines will not be split, so "start new line" early and often.
Usage:
perl mapper2.pl <input_logfile.txt> [Elevation] [Elevation] . . . > Output.svg
Note:
If you use the grouping based on elevation, all /em group tags will be ignored.
