Bug ID: 474786
Summary: Missing documentation for `.dgml` files.
Classification: Applications
Product: marble
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

Target Milestone: ---
Ahoj,
I miss a complete documentation of all the options the KDE Marble's map
definition `.dgml`-files can take and what they do.
Currently, I always have to resort on trying to infer from already created
maps, but that probably results in not good custom `.dgml` files (see e.g.
https://gitlab.com/dreieckli/marble-maps-extra,
https://gitlab.com/marble-restricted-maps/virtualearth,
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/marble-maps-sachsen,
https://gitlab.com/dreieckli/marble-maps-thunderforest). Specifically, I want
to make a hillshading-only map from the tiles at
http://osmscout.karry.cz/hillshade/ (see
https://gitlab.com/dreieckli/marble-maps-extra/-/tree/main/maps/earth/hillshading-karry
for .dgml file), but I fail since the tiles are only alpha(?) overlays and I
not yet found out a way how to blend them on a background. Also, I could not
change the empty map background even with setting `<map bgcolor="#cccccc">` or
something else -- it stays black.
I am very confused what is possible with `.dgml`-files and how to set map
background -- so I request a documentation for people who want to provide maps
for KDE marble.
I think if this is easier, more maps would be publicly provided, which in turn
could make KDE marble more popular.
Regards!
