[Xastir] More Tiger maps questions

[Dale Seaburg]

Hi guys,

Making progress on customizing the Tiger/Line maps with the dbfawk  
files.  I managed to color the "secondary" roads with the RED color.   
These are non county, city street and freeway roads.  I also was  
wrong when I said I needed county borders.  They are there, but I'd  
like to change them from black to grey and thicken the line a bit.   
Still looking for that attribute.

Questions:

1.  Where does one find a list of the color codes for the dbfawk  
files?  I used the "shotgun" approach to find the RED color.  I must  
be overlooking it somewhere.

2.  Anyone right off know which shapefile contains the county border  
lines?

3.  Anyone know which shapefile contains the background color (looks  
like light-grey) for the maps?  I'd like to change to white.


I've had one person ask if I'd share the dbfawk files.  Sure.  I got  
them from Craig, N6YXK.  He got them from Richard, N6NKO.  I simply  
changed the field (dbfinfo) line and in some cases the secondary road  
color (edges).  I'd like to find the background and county border  
data so I can change them, too.  Let me tweak a bit more before sharing.
