Hi Attached is the first version of the TYP file compiler, using code written by Thomas Lußnig in 2008 to write the TYP file, which has been lying unused in mkgmap since then. It only writes the polygon draw order, so not much use yet, but I expect to be adding the other sections quickly. It reads any valid typ text file, or at least it will read: http://code.google.com/p/mkgmap-style-sheets/source/browse/trunk/typ/world-t... So to use it, first compile a jar as normal. Then run the following command (you can not use the -jar option in this case) java -cp dist/mkgmap.jar uk.me.parabola.mkgmap.typ.TypTextReader <in> <out> <in> defaults to "default.txt" <out> defaults to "OUT.TYP" This method of running it is temporary and may even go away at some point. I will check the code in to trunk, since it is completely separate from anything else in mkgmap. ..Steve
