Program to convert a vector file to the MacIdas map format used by Vis5D. This program was written for my own use only, NO WARRANTY whatsoever is made. Henk Witte Hugo de Vries Laboratory University of Amsterdam Kruislaan 318 1098 SM Amsterdam email: henk_witte @ sara.nl The Netherlands usage: vec_to_map vectordata McIdasmap vectordata: ascii file with vector map data. McIdasmap: result map. the vector file follows normal convention, i.e. east is negative. Longtitudes are sign changed before they are written to McIdas format. The vector file is a sequence of lines, each line starts with a linenumber (which is ignored) and number of vertices in the line. Following are the specified number of vertices as pairs of longtitudes and latitudes. Longtitudes and latitudes are integers of lon (or lat) * 10000 (i.e. 180.00 should be given as 1800000)
