With the Tcl/Tk interface, the code seems to be finding an image which has a height that is about 75% of the width. This corresponds well to 'stdt13x9i.gif' and 'stdt48x33i.gif', both are somewhat less than 3/4 but greater than 2/3 of the width, and so when Xconq is drawing in isometric mode, it will look up those images (see 'terrain.imf' for details). However, I would caution you from going down that route, as Matthew is proposing to generate everything (including isometric views) from a single overhead image. So, your work could end up being all for naught. Eric
