In fact using Marble as a panorama viewer is something that I'd like to have
implemented properly at some point.

I looked through there, and gave some of it a try. Aside from the
small problem of creating<br>
the maps (easy enough to make a utility to do that), the maps are all 8
bit, i.e, grayscale. This<br>
is not what I had in mind... :} It did look like the generic concept
will work, if it's possible<br>
to change that...<br>
<br>
It looks like you have a grayscale map, and then use tiles of a
particular type to fill in the color<br>
and details. While this is fine for a map, using it as an image
doesn't work... because the color<br>
is in the image, not tiles. :}<br>
<br>
How hard do you think it would be to increase the data from 8 to 24
(or even 30) bit? So I can<br>
use a full color image (and of course, use full saturation)?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
