Hi, I am having a little trouble with the Fractal Landscape

but I am stuck when it comes to changed this into a dat
file using. Could some please elaborate on the short
command line help?

If the greyscale image you created is named "hills.pgm" and
you want the LDraw file to be named "hills.dat" (and you are
in the right directory) you just run the command:

   pgmtoldr < hills.pgm > hills.dat

If you want to set the colour of the landscape to green
(LDraw colour number 2) you run the command:

   pgmtoldr -colour 2 < hills.pgm > hills.dat

If you also want to scale the landscape so it is exactly
21 plates (7 bricks) tall the command is:

   pgmtoldr -colour 2 -height 21 < hills.pgm > hills.dat

You can also get the program to try to reduce the number of
bricks it uses to model the landscape:

   pgmtoldr -colour 2 -height 21 -minimal < hills.pgm > hills.dat

Also the image I made was 20 x 20 is the this 20 x 20 studs?

Yes.

Play well,

Jacob
