Extracting Data from a Modified World using FT
If you do any significant editing or terrain modification in FT, you can very well alter the ratio of land/water of the world. Using an equal-area projection, is there some way to count the total pixels in an image, and setting the colors for the terrain appropriately, estimate the percentages of the area?
In fact, go for gold, shouldn't it be possible to estimate the percentages of area for assorted climates and terrains? One could get far more realistic numbers, all by simply knowing the area per pixel, and the number of them in the image.
If anyone knows of something that can do a pixel count, all that would be needed is a few bitmaps, perhaps optimizing the color to the desired criteria.
