Jaco:

Could you give some example command lines please?

pgm_to_ldraw -colour 2 -height 30 < terrain.pgm >
terrain.dat

(or were you asking for a bit more than that?)

Lets try to make a 32 by 32 knob 30 plates high relatively
soft all-green landscape:

   fractal_landscape -width 32 -height 32 -h 0.95 -z_max 30
terrain.pgm
   pgm_to_ldraw -colour 2 -height 30 < terrain.pgm >
terrain.dat
   ldglite-run -s0.5 terrain.dat

If we want to colour the landscape above as a beach, we
either have to make a copy of "terrain.pgm" which we edit by
hand, or we have to do something like the following rather
ugly piece of Perl+command interpreter:

   pnmdepth 9 < terrain.pgm | pnmnoraw | perl -pe
's/^9$/382/' | perl -pe 's/(^| )[012]( |$)/ blue /g' | perl
-pe 's/(^| )[34]( |$)/ sand /g' | perl -pe 's/(^| )[56789](
|$)/ green /g' | perl -pe 's/(^| )[012]( |$)/ blue /g' |
perl -pe 's/(^| )[34]( |$)/ sand /g' | perl -pe 's/(^|
)[56789]( |$)/ green /g' | perl -pe 's/blue/1/g' | perl -pe
's/sand/382/g' | perl -pe 's/green/2/g' >
terrain-colour_map.pgm

(all on one line) The file "terrain-colour_map.pgm" now
contains LDraw colour numbers for blue, sand and green
depending on the height of that part of the terrain. We can
use this to make a "colour-mapped" terrain model:

   pgm_to_ldraw -map terrain-colour_map.pgm -height 30 <
terrain.pgm > terrain.dat
   ldglite-run -s0.5 terrain.dat

If we then want to fix the water level, we can do that too:

   echo "P2\n1 1\n30\n8" | pnmscale -width 32 -height 32 >
terrain-water_level.pgm
   pnmarith -maximum terrain-water_level.pgm terrain.pgm |
pnmnoraw > terrain-level_water.pgm
   pgm_to_ldraw -map terrain-colour_map.pgm -height 30 <
terrain-level_water.pgm > terrain.dat
   ldglite-run -s0.5 terrain.dat

PS: This example has been tested on a Linux system and
    depends on various other programs, which are not
    included in my fractal landscape generator package.
