Method of production

Drawn by Finlay McWalter in the following manner:

  • An outline was rendered using Panmap running public domain NOAA WVS (world vector shoreline).
  • This was exported (as a bitmap, all that Panmap can do) to Paint Shop Pro. This was manually repaired (holes filled, island groups tweaked, and shoreline details clarified or erased). Then the bitmap was floodfilled, so that the subsequent vectoriser will produce polygons rather than lines.
  • This was imported into Inkscape and vectorised using Inkscape's "path->trace bitmap" function.
  • All details were then manually drawn.
  • To produce the final PNG, the whole drawing was exported from Inkscape as a PNG. This was then cropped in Photoshop.
