There are currently a number of overlay files available
for plotting. These contain coastline segments, bathymetry line
segments, or boundary line segments (e.g. NAFO lines). Most of
these files may be plotted using the Overlay_File()
command, and as such will be translated, scaled and clipped to
match the current drawing window/ viewport.
The current list of files includes:
| wdb1 |
Entire world coastline at low resolution.
|
| arab |
Coastline of the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean at moderate resolution.
|
| coast1 |
Coastline of Eastern North America at low resolution.
|
| coast2 |
Coastline of the Maritimes at moderate resolution.
|
| cos_det |
Coastline of the North Atlantic at moderate resolution.
|
| depthm100/ depthm200 |
100/200 m bathemetry lines for Eastern North America at low resolution.
|
| DepthFxxxx |
Bathemetry lines for Maritimes at moderate resolution, where xxxx in the file name represents depth value in fathoms.
|
| DCxxxx |
Bathemetry lines for North Atlantic at moderate resolution, where xxxx in the file name represents depth value in metres.
|
| Nafo area 4,5 |
4,5 BW.art Mac Illustrator Base Map for the Scotian Shelf (see the example "Base MapsBase Maps").
|
| gfstrata |

| icj |

|
| Passamaquoddy |

| Passgm |

Additional bathymetry lines for the Maritimes coast may be
found in the Overlays\GOM folder. The 4 digits in the
filenames represent depth values in metres. [g0010, g0015,

There are currently a few script files which may
be used to control the drawing of overlay files or boundaries.
These scripts enhance the drawing of the embeded data, but typically
require some study to use them to their fullest.
| The current list of files includes: |
| nafolines.script |
draws NAFO boundary lines.
|
| arabind.script |
draws the coastline of the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean as shaded polygons.
|
| natl.script |
draws the coastlineof the North Atlantic Ocean as shaded polygons. |
