Bug Description

gnome-control-center uses the same pixmaps as the Ubiquity installer for its "Date & Time" panel.

Two highlight pixmaps are missing:

  timezone_8.75.png (Eucla, Australia)
  timezone_14.png (Christmas Island, Pacific)

These need adding to:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/files/head:/pixmaps/timezone/

The images that make up the system are:

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/download/head:/bg.png-20090305094359-rs512o21sf3ut05u-2/bg.png
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/ubiquity/trunk/download/head:/cc.png-20090305094359-rs512o21sf3ut05u-3/cc.png

It appears that 'cc.png' is a mask (test) layer. That 'bg.png' is a background, and that the rest are (separate) overlays displayed when over a 'cc.png' offset.

The overlays seem to have been generated from a gigantic file called 'tz_map.svgz' which takes about 1.5GB of RAM to open in Inkscape.

However, a pixmap seems to be missing for the Australia/Eucla timezone:
(gnome-control-center:2782): datetime-properties-WARNING **: Could not load hilight: Failed to open file '/usr/share/gnome-control-center/ui/datetime/timezone_8.75.png': No such file or directory

This is the Olsen map for timezones.

Marked as A:
datetime-cc-panel-Message: File 'timezone_8.75.png' missing for zone 'Australia/Eucla'

Marked as B:
datetime-cc-panel-Message: File 'timezone_14.png' missing for zone 'Pacific/Kiritimati'

For the Christmas Islands, see also the borders outlines on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kiribati_location_map.svg

I wanted to add those zones myself, but it seems that the tiles were not created using those images as sources, as the border lines and a number of items in the maps are fuzzy.

Could you please upload the original file for those tiles?

Situation report, I've had emailed to be a gigantic 2.7MB SVG file which appears to have been the source of all of the overlay renderings.

I didn't see that last comment so I spent some time today recreating the missing files, directly in bitmap form; they have now been pushed in gnome-control-center.

We ran into more problems with the timezone map. Are the source files available somewhere now?

Yes, in lp:timezonemap. In src/data there is the original svg. I think
in the svg one needs to modify layers and union/subtract them and then
generate new set of timezone bands.
My SVG / vector skills are not up to scratch to perform those tasks.

Dmitrijs.

Now the question is, where's the code to generate the split-off timezone PNGs given that SVG map?

Hadess: I had been looking that this; and my presumption is that each layer shown/hidden/exported from Inkscape one at a time. But it's definitely something that I'll make scripted so it's easy to re-export the whole suite at $preferred_bitmap_size.
