Now on Xplanet forum the core developer helps me, and I can use it - but xplanet drops many errors, and I don't like this method, so the Tlf makes a fresh marker, but the old records disappears from the map, when xplanet re-read that. (I understand why, just I don't like that :)). The best way should be what I see on bandmap (depends on my settings, eg. only current band, ...), that IS on the map (of course the map has some latency, but I can live with that :)) 73, Ervin HA2OS > 73 Fred > Am 04.02.2014 22:17, schrieb Ervin Hegedüs: > >Hello, > > > >a few weeks ago I've posted this question: > > > >On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 09:08:49PM +0100, Ervin Hegedüs - HA2OS wrote: > >>Hello, > >> > >>does anybody use Xplanet with Tlf? > >> > >>I've tried to use it based on Rein original doc: > >>http://sharon.esrac.ele.tue.nl/pub/linux/ham/tlf/tlfdoc-0.8.16/tlfdoc.html > >> > >>but I think it's a little bit outdated. > >here is the original message: > > > >http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/tlf-devel/2013-11/msg00087.html > > > >So, I've checked how does it work, this is a short howto, if > >anybody interests it. > > > >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.
