Package xplanet-1.2.1-1

Xplanet is similar to Xearth, where an image of the earth is rendered into an X window. Xplanet can display several different map projections, including Azimuthal, Mercator, Mollweide, orthographic, or rectangular, as well as a window with a globe the user can rotate interactively. The other planets and some satellites may also be displayed. The latest version can always be found at http://xplanet.sourceforge.net. Versions after 0.95 lack the -animate and other commands. If you prefer to install version 0.95, type "fink install xplanet-0.95".

A man page is available. Also see /sw/share/doc/xplanet/README. Configuration options are documented in /sw/share/doc/xplanet/README.config. Those using xplanet as part of a screensaver and/or upgrading from a previous version of xplanet should read the NEWS file. Many critical things have changed, including settings for use with xscreensaver.
