<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR> </DIV></FONT>
<DIV>Graphic wizards please take a look at this problem. I suspect the
solution<BR>is trivial but it is beyond me!<BR><BR>Here's the problem:<BR><BR>We
have a mud world with main grid of 1200 by 800 cells. Each of those cells<BR>is
stored in a database along with x,y coordinate information, cell
color,<BR>terrain type, etc. I have written a simple mapping function which maps
local<BR>areas using HTML tables. These work pretty well but since the minimum
size<BR>on a 17 inch monitor is about a 1/4 inch square, it is not possible
to<BR>render large areas or even consider the whole map.<BR><BR>Here's what I
need:<BR><BR>I can write my data to any text configuration. The only format I am
aware of<BR>which has a native text format is Postscript. This is impractical
since I<BR>don't want to try to write a million cells to this format since it
would be<BR>huge. Also, I would have to learn the innerworkings of postscript,
which<BR>look like real work. I know this is possible because tiled games do
this<BR>(our maps would just be single pixel tiles...) on a smaller scale. I
know I<BR>am missing something here.<BR><BR>Any help would be appreciated
greatly.<BR><BR>We have the latest PhotoShop so any format supported by that
product would<BR>work.<BR><BR>Thank you.<BR><BR></DIV>
