Hi,
perhaps I have missed some basic info in some of the gshhs discussion, but I have a problem that islands seem to disappear when using cgmap_gshhs (newest library release of data and procedures). This is a code example. There should be lots of small islands here. Am I doing something wrong?
----------------------------------------------------------
datafile = 'gshhg-bin-2.3.0/gshhs_h.b'
P0lat = 60
P0lon = 10
minlat = 58.5
maxlat = 59.5
minlon = 5
maxlon = 6.5

cgDisplay, 800, 1200
pos = [0.1,0.1, 0.9, 0.8]
cgMap_Set, P0lat, P0lon, Position=pos, /transverse_mercator,Color='black',$
limit = [minlat, minlon, maxlat, maxlon]

cgColorfill, [pos[0], pos[0], pos[2], pos[2], pos[0]], $
[pos[1], pos[3], pos[3], pos[1], pos[1]], $
/Normal, Color='sky blue'
cgMap_GSHHS, datafile, Fill=1, Level=4, Color='black', /Outline
map_grid,/label

cgPlotS, [pos[0], pos[0], pos[2], pos[2], pos[0]], $
[pos[1], pos[3], pos[3], pos[1], pos[1]], $
/Normal, Color='black', Thick=2

This seems to be a problem in calculating the area of the polygon
(always turning out to be 0). I have to do something else right now, but
I'll get back to this when I can.

OK, I haven't tried this with gsshg 2.3, but it seems to work with gsshg
2.2.3 and 2.3.2. The only change I made to your code was to add a
MINAREA=0 keyword to the cgMap_GSHHS call.

Cheers,

David

Great, thanks. The MINAREA = 0 fixed it. I used an older version of your lib previously and then it worked without the MINAREA setting.
