... If a lossless format is required for photographic images, PNG can be used, but file size will be significantly greater than JPG. regards, Martin. posted: 12 Nov 2011 19:47 from: Tony W Hi Martin. I stand corrected. It is PSD files that I was getting mixed up with. The trouble is that there are so many file formats around these days. Not that I have used PNG files much either, can't think why in retrospect other than not being aware of them. I agree that JPEGs are not the best file format even though it is what most cameras seem to use. Where I can I always scan as bitmap and only save as JPEG when I am certain I have finished any editing for the very reason you state. I have used TIFF format in the past but they are not much smaller than BMP files. Tony. posted: 25 Nov 2011 22:27 from: Tony W Hi Martin.

Hi Nigel, The file needs to be in BMP format (Windows Bitmap) and saved in your C:/TEMPLOT/SHAPE-FILES folder. Your scanner software should allow you to save in that format to that folder. If not, save it from the scanner as JPG format at the highest quality setting. Then open it in your photo editor program and save it again in BMP format. There is a video here showing the process ...
... , Martin. posted: 7 Jul 2008 11:51 from: Steve Evans Thanks Alan. Martin, I have followed the video tutorial that you mention and it is during this lesson that I notice a problem. After entering the dimensions, the tutorial loads the image from the Shapes folder but when i try to do the same there is nothing in my folder. If I then navigate to C/Templot/Shape-Files I can see that I have a scanned image saved. The scanner saves the picture as a jpeg file but I have renamed it to end in" .bmp". Any further ideas? Steve posted: 7 Jul 2008 12:41 from: Alan Turner Steve Evans wrote: The scanner saves the picture as a jpeg file but I have renamed it to end in" .bmp". Any further ideas? Steve Then it's not a Bitmap image! It's a Jpeg and Templot only uses Bitmap images. Falsifying the file extension does not, unfortunately, fool Templot! Why not load your JPeg image into PAINT ...

You can very likely download a Windows printer driver for it from the manufacturers web site. regards, Martin. posted: 18 Apr 2017 12:36 from: leswaters Stuart and Martin Many thanks for the tip about Heatons. I emailed them over the Easter weekend and they replied first thing this morning. For a 3.1 X 0.7 metre black and white print they have quoted me £7.50 plus P+ P. I think this is a bargain! They have asked me for a JPEG and a PDF file. I have created the JPEG file with no problems but seem to be having issues with the PDF file. I would like the sleepers to be printed as well as the rails but the PDF file does not show them. I also have concerns about scaling as discussed on this forum. How do I go about setting everything up on Templot export so I get an accurate print? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Les posted: 18 Apr 2017 13:14 from: Martin Wynne leswaters ...
... topic: 3267 Export a jpeg file posted: 7 May 2018 10:32 from: rynd2it I am trying to create a jpeg file of a track plan- done it many times before- but now the file is missing. I create the jpeg from the output menu, option view in my usual viewer and the file is reported as moved or renamed. If I redo it and view in Templot viewer it shows the image BUT on exit the file cannot be found again. Using TEMPLOT 2.19b Windows 10 Home Edition I was going to attach the box file but would you believe Windows can't find that either! HELP!!! Thanks David posted: 7 May 2018 11:50 from: Martin Wynne Hi David, Assuming you left the defaults unchanged when you installed Templot, everything related to Templot is in the C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\ folder.

... . I can easily connect a left hand curved switch to the main leg of the left hand switch and a right hand curved switch to the main leg of the right hand curved switch. What I cannot figure out is how to connect the diverging leg of the second right hand switch to the diverging leg of the second left hand switch and the same for the main legs of the same two pair. It would be easier to do a sketch, but I do not have access to a scanner. I could provide a jpeg of the rough plan from XTrackCad if that would help. This is far from prototype practice I realize. Bear with me please, space is a premium and this wye is critical to the operations I have planned.

... topic: 3791 How to import a track plan posted: 2 Oct 2020 22:01 from: roythebus Sorry to be a pain again, my own memory is fading with age. I'm trying to remember how to import a jpeg track plan into Templot. No doubt there's a helpful video somewhere but I can't remember where that is either! Basically I'm trying to import a couple of ancient Frank Dyer plans drawn at about 1" to the foot and do them in Templot. the plans are scaled and saved as jpeg. How do I get them as background shapes to start track planning? Thanks. posted: 2 Oct 2020 22:08 from: roythebus I've just scanned back through the search facility and found the original post from 2018 where Martin has kindly done one of the plans as a bgs for download. with the latest Mac updates the original wine files were lost.

Well, I am pleased to have made relatively few changes on this version and have the directory population/file display working OK for both JPEG and PNG options. However, I seem to be having trouble with the HTML component. When I clicked on an image (or the "Load this File" link) nothing seemed to happen. When I look at the code, I would not have expected anything to happen! Perhaps something magic is taking place behind the scenes, but there is no obvious reason for anything to take place. There IS an OnImageClick action in the HTMLviewer control, but it was not connected to anything. I have now connected that ...
... topic: 654 Making a screen shot posted: 4 Dec 2008 14:10 from: Gordon S I'm sure this has been covered before but searches on jpeg and screenshot have failed to throw out the answer. I have been asked to show my track plan by various people either on RMWeb or just emails between friends. How can I take a simple screenshot in jpeg format that can be sent by electronic mail? Clearly it can be done as I have seen screenshots appear in the railway modelling press and in this forum. Can someone please tell me how it's done? Many thanks. posted: 4 Dec 2008 15:01 from: Martin Wynne Gordon S wrote: How can I take a simple screenshot in jpeg format that can be sent by electronic mail? Hi Gordon, 1.

This has the dual advantage that (a) you can post it and ...

... that looks very good. How did you do it, please? Well John I must assume you have some familiarity with M/S Excel. First I drew the track plan out using Sigscribe, a free download from the Australian Modratec lever frame web site available after you register with them. This is an impressive little programme and a quick way of generating a diagramatic track drawing in proper proportion. Then used Print Screen to paste this into Windows Paint and cropped down to just leave the track diagram. Saved this as a JPEG image file. Opened a black worksheet in Excel and adjusted column width to 3 and row height to 20.This gave me a square grid pattern which helps with the drawing out. (Incidently in Excel a width of 7 and height of 30 will produce an almost perfect square grid). Then zoomed-out to give as large an area as possible on the screen- I chose each screen grid square to represent 3mm on the finished plan. Based on this I put a border around the area I thought would give me ...

It seems as if you are not getting past your provider server, the "mailer-daemon". Have you spelt my email address correctly? bmerlinxix@sky.com Or is the JPEG file a very large one, sometimes if that is the case, there can be a limit to what your provider server will handle.

... it is 1928 and thus produced by tape measure and not aviation or satellite of course. The proportions of everything is remarkably close in respect of each item, but the overall scale is highly questionable- to the tune of about 8%. This seems quite high, even for such an old map. (I am comparing this against bing maps which zooms quite close in and has a good scale, whereas google maps does not.) I have printed out the old maps as a PDF and then scanned it as a jpeg to use as a backdrop. When I used the scale of 2500, it was about double so I dropped it to 1250 and thought "oh well". I have since had to change it to 1:1106.226 to get the scale to what I believe to be right when compared to bing maps. Has anyone else any experience of old-maps.co.uk? Would anyone else have an opinion on whether my choice of going with the satellite drawn bing maps is a good one or not? Unfortunately, the area has ...

I understand that it's common for the rails to be bent to some radius at that position, but on your example it looks like they have a sharp bend. I just thought it was interesting Cheers!

Playing about with the options, it seems the grey colour scheme and with a transparent image option selected causes this affect. Trust me to settle on that combination.

... topic: 271 Llanfyllin- Trying to make a plan posted: 1 Dec 2007 03:35 from: Terry Beddoes Hi I have a scanned map of the station and track plan. I have checked the scan and as far as I believe it is 300dpi, the scanner is set for 300 default but if I look at th eproperties of the jpeg it says 150. I put the picture into Templot at 300 and it looks too large the loco release is about 300mm, when in photos it is not much larger than the 58xx using it. If it is the right scale on the screen would the gauge of EM templates match the gauge of the rails on the map? Not withstanding the map may not be that accurate. I have found it very very difficult to fit the track onto the plan using templot. n On the map (1 in 2500) the track plan is 170mm, on Templot it measures 3900mm.( which is about the length of layout I was planning) Could someone confirm I am working to the right ...
... -way and can only see a couple of places where side by side timbers are used, and in those cases, they are there, it would seem, to fill in gaps at awkwardly spaced timbers. The two adjacent Vee's that you have in the formation, fit nicely onto a single 12" timber which is slightly angled. In my case, the Vee's are a little more out of alignment, and trying to use a single timber at a more severe angle does not help the timbering around that area. See JPEG file below, the area where the Vee's are, is circled in red. (also see my Posting of My First attempt at Templotting for Bham New Street.) I think I understand what you mean by using side by side timbers, in order to make up the width, the equivalent of 24", however, with the position of the Vee's in my case, I would consider that in the real railway world the gangers would have to be cautious of the chair fixing screws (Blots) may fall into ...
... Templotting for Bham New Street posted: 1 Sep 2010 23:20 from: Brian Nicholls Hi All, There are two box files of significance, which represent my first attempt at track design using Templot. The attempt covers a small area of Birmingham New Street Station and is a formation just to the South West of signal box 4 located on the old Midland Railway side of the station. The formation is made up of exit roads from platforms 5& 6, plus exit roads from the old Fish Siddings( I posted a JPEG photograph of this area a few weeks ago, however, do NOT use the photo as background as it is quite distorted due to whatever reason). After several aborted attempts, mainly due to my lack of knowledge and understanding of Templot, and also trying to overlay templates on the partial plan area in some sort of sequence, I eventually came to the conclusion that a new tack was required. I then decided to overlay simple plain track templates on to the plan, putting them as close as possible to the plan ...
