xastir and gif maps

xastir and gif maps

[Thomas - OZ2AFO]

Shouldn't I be able to import uiview maps to xastir? (uiview uses gif 
images).

All I see in xastir is black squares, where the map should be (when I choose 
to use imported uiview maps)

They're working for me but are not very satisfying when zooming unless
using very large resolutions.  Vector maps are absolutely preferable
imho.

Yes, it should work.  You have to run inf2geo.pl on each one in
order to create the .geo files that Xastir uses, then you have to
reindex the maps.

It's also possible that your ImageMagick is failing to bring up the
GIF images.  Try "display filename.gif" to see if it is capable of
displaying GIF's.

Also check that your map intensity didn't get set too low
(Map->Configure->Map Intensity).

There have been some bad versions of ImageMagick.  I'd try upgrading
that package.
