Syntax of w.dat
Use one of the following invocations:
- world file.dat [file.dat...]
- world < file.dat
- cat file.dat [file.dat...] | world
Each line of a data file consists of
location latitude longitude
where location is a single string (no white space; use underscore
characters to have spaces displayed), and latitude and longitude
are floating-point lat/lon coordinates of the location (with arcminutes
expressed as a decimal fraction of the degree), -90 < latitude < 90,
-180 < longitude < 180.
Closed colored paths may be drawn connecting some subset of the locations.
By default, the first path starts with the first location.
To end a path, prepend the letter X to the first location AFTER
the end of the path, or prepend a dash ('–') to the last
location in the path. To start a new path, prepend a digit
(from 0-9) to the first location in the new path. The digit selects
a unique color; digits may be reused if desired (to have two or more
paths of the same color).
