make_pictlistX

Description

The executable make_pictlistX creates the file PICTLISTX.TXT. This routine is useful because because it extracts all the information necessary from all the sumfiles so that that those potentially thousands of files do not have to be opened in order to determine whether a maplet is visible in an image by the lithos program. In other words, lithos will use the images listed in PICTLISTX.TXT before PICTLIST.TXT if PICTLISTX.TXT is present in the working directory and all the images listed in PICTLISTX.TXT will be loaded faster in lithos do to precomputed data.

Input files

PICTLIST.TXT

> make_pictlistX
