0101   You can filter the map list using <guilabel>Filter Maps</guilabel> text field. Just enter a few first letters of the map name to narrow down the list to a few matches.

Use the scroll bars, the arrow keys or the mouse wheel to move around the zoomed map or use the <guimenuitem>Move</guimenuitem> action that will allow you to drag the map using &LMB;.

0342 <para>
0343 You can find <ulink url="https://invent.kde.org/education/kgeography/-/blob/master/tools/gen_map.pl">here</ulink> a tool (made by Yann Verley) which helped him with the map of France. To find out its usage, simply execute it and read the help message. It basically creates the <literal role="extension">.kgm</literal> file from a plain text file and creates a file with the colors it has assigned to each division, so you can fill the map according to them.</para>
0344 <para>
0345 There is another tool <ulink url="https://invent.kde.org/education/kgeography/-/blob/master/tools/colorchecker.py">colorchecker.py</ulink> written by Albert Astals Cid. You need PyQt4 to run this. Just run this with the <literal role="extension">.kgm</literal> filename as argument (you also need the <literal role="extension">.png</literal> file of the map in the same folder). This will tell you if any pixel on the map has a different color which is not defined in the <literal role="extension">.kgm</literal> (description) file.

If this tag is set to <userinput>yes</userinput> then the division will be ignored when asking for divisions in that map. It is then as if this division does not exist in &kgeography; quiz modes. If this tag is set to <userinput>allowClickMode</userinput> then &kgeography; will ask for the division in the <guibutton>Location of ...</guibutton> mode but not in other quiz modes. If this tag is set to <userinput>allowClickFlagMode</userinput> then &kgeography; will ask for the division in the <guibutton>Location of ...</guibutton> mode and in the flag related quizes but not in other quiz modes. Setting this tag to <userinput>no</userinput> means the division will appear in all modes (browse and quizzes). This tag is optional and when there is no <sgmltag class="starttag">ignore</sgmltag> tag that means as it is set to <userinput>no</userinput>. For example <quote><literal>Algeria</literal></quote> has this tag set to <userinput>yes</userinput> in the <quote><literal>Europe</literal></quote> map which means that <quote><literal>Algeria</literal></quote> will not be part of any quiz in the <quote><literal>Europe</literal></quote> map.</para>

This tag is optional. It should be used in situations where the flag has the name of the division to which it belongs written on it. This can cause the flag guessing games to become too easy, and as such submission of the flags with the text blurred out is encouraged.</para>

0418  It is convenient to create 2 or 3 false divisions like <quote><literal>Water</literal></quote>, <quote><literal>Frontier</literal></quote> and <quote><literal>Coast</literal></quote> and set them with the <sgmltag class="starttag">ignore</sgmltag> tag set to <userinput>yes</userinput>. Don't forget <userinput>not to set</userinput> color for any <quote><literal>Frontier</literal></quote> 0,0,0 in RGB. Please make it something like 1,1,1 so that a border outline comes while placing any division on the map.

0426 <title>Map file</title>
0427 <para>
0428  The map file is quite simple but laborious to create. It has to be in <acronym>PNG</acronym> format.
0429  You can find some maps to transform at <ulink url="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/docs/refmaps.html">Cia Reference Maps</ulink>. If no map fits your needs you can download the <ulink url="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/resources/the-world-factbook/graphics/ref_maps/political/pdf/world.pdf">political world map</ulink>, take a screenshot of it and work from it.
0430  Each division in the map should have one and only one color. To achieve this you can use image processing programs like <application>The Gimp</application> and &kolourpaint;.
0431 </para>
0432 </sect1>
0433 <sect1 id="flags">
0434 <title>Flags</title>
0435 <para>
0436  If you have used the <sgmltag class="starttag">flag</sgmltag> tag you should provide the flag files. They have to be in <acronym>PNG</acronym> format and better if they are 300x200 pixels and you provide a &SVG; file for it. To obtain &SVG; flags of almost all countries in the world and some other divisions, you can consult the <ulink url="https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4054&amp;package_id=16668&amp;release_id=208770">Sodipodi flags collection</ulink>.
0437 </para>
0438 <para>
0439  As noted previously, we encourage you to provide blurred flag files for flags that have the division written on them. The same requirements apply to the blurred flag files as to the regular flag files. While there is no prescribed naming notation for the blurred files, we recommend saving these down with the name of the original flag prefixed with <literal>blurred_</literal>, &eg; <quote><literal>blurred_albania.png</literal></quote>

0444 <para>
0445  Before sending your map to Albert &Albert.Astals.Cid.mail;, you should test it to see it has no errors. To achieve that, you have to do the following:
0446 <itemizedlist>
0447 <listitem>
0448     <para>Put the map description and map image file in <filename class="directory">$<envar>XDG_DATA_HOME</envar>/share/apps/kgeography/</filename></para>
0449 </listitem>
0450 <listitem>
0451   <para>Put the flag <acronym>PNG</acronym> files (if any) in <filename class="directory">$<envar>XDG_DATA_HOME</envar>/share/apps/kgeography/flags/</filename></para>
0452 </listitem>
0453 </itemizedlist>
0454  Once that has been done you should be able of opening your map from inside &kgeography;.
0455  </para>
0456  <para>
0457  If you don't know which is your <filename class="directory">$<envar>XDG_DATA_HOME</envar></filename>, type <userinput><command>qtpaths</command> <option>--paths HomeLocation</option></userinput> in a shell.
0458  </para>
0459 <tip>

0461 Use the colorchecker.py tool from the helper tools to check if any extra color left on the map which is not defined on the <literal role="extension">.kgm</literal> file.

0481  Of course, the division concept can be extended to a river or a mountain. During the creation of the map, you should keep in mind that most times the river or mountain will be too small that you should provide an additional clicking area.
0482  In this example the river would have the maroon area and color &lt;20,76,34&gt; as its identifier.
