If you could get the UWP data in to a standard SEC format, I could load the data in to Traveller Universe for you. The output from this is great for colour maps.

Valarian,
OK, I'm going to display my extreme ignorance here. What is the standard SEC format? I assume it's the 9 digit code used in Traveller world creation but I'm not sure and wanted to confirm. Also what do you mean by load the data into the Traveller Universe? Like I said - extreme ignorance.

isomage,
OK, again showing ignorance. I'm not sure what vector graphics are. Could you explain the difference between them and a bitmap? As far as resolution and dimensions I'm not sure what the correct answer should be so I'll describe what I'm looking for. I want to have full page maps for a print product in B&W and then color copies of the same maps for posting to my website. Do you have any ideas what I'd need for resolution and dimensions based on that? I will have a general description of the worlds and their terrain. Not in a big rush on this but I think I'd like to have stuff to start layout by the end of June or middle of July. Is that an unrealistic time frame?

Thanks guys for all you help on this, and I appreciate you walking me through the process.

Traveller Universe is one of the Traveller hex mapping tools that is around, Heaven and Earth and Galactic 2.4 being the other main ones. The SEC format is a standard that has been created by Traveller fans for passing around sector information.
