Subject: [9fans] Anything like 2e's road(7)?
Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2019 11:49:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <28E5E477-1B62-439C-827A-0AE3C0AADE0A@9srv.net> (raw)
This isn't really a Plan 9 question at this point, but since we've been talking about 2e a bit:
2e included a program road(7), which allowed you to explore a US map database. It has a neat property where you can highlight individual features via regexp match. You could have a map containing only selected roads (say you wanted to show only the Interstates going into your city).
road(7) never got updated after 2e, and I don't know how to recreate the Tiger database it pulled from, regardless.
Anyone know of anything, on any platform, which does something similar? Show only selected elements on a road map?
