Hello, a few weeks ago I've posted this question:

First, you need the xplanet: sudo apt-get install xplanet xplanet-images Then create a config directory structure in your $HOME directory: cd mkdir -p .xplanet/config touch .xplanet/config/default Edit this file with your favorite editor, and put these lines: [earth] marker_file=/home/YOURUSER/.tlf/tlfmarkers Note, I'm using all tlf subdirectory in $HOME/.tlf directory, so keep it mind, you have to modify that. In ~/.tlf/CONTEST/logcfg.dat, put the MARKERS option, with same value as above: MARKERS=/home/airween/.tlf/tlfmarkers Start xplanet: xplanet -window -geometry 1400x700 -longitude 19 -latitude 47 -fontsize 13 -projection rectangular -wait 5 Note, that the projection value should be ancient, azimuthal, bonne, equal_area, gnomonic, hemisphere, lambert, mercator, mollweide, orthographic, peters, polyconic, rectangular, or tsc. In case of other projections, the geometry values should be changed, eg. for the azimuthal the 700x700 (the two dimensions are equals) is better. Just play with it :). The longitude and latitude parameters set the central of map, if the projection warrants. The wait parameter sets the repeat time of re-read the marker file, and modify the night line or rotate the planet. As I see, the xplanet doesn't like the MARKERS file output format - next time I'll check, how should it modify to works that correctly. If anybody try this method, and has any remark/idea, don't hesitate, and share with me :), I mean: colors/bands, aligns the markers to bandmap output, and so on...
