Xplanet is an image renderer of the Earth and other Solar System objects. Azimuthal, Mercator, Mollweide, orthographic, or rectangular projections can be generated. The latest version, as well as maps for other planets can be found at http://xplanet.sourceforge.net. Xplanet can support
separate night and day maps, as well as a separate cloud map and can simulate Rayleigh scattering through the atmosphere.

This version is compiled without X support (no Wayland port yet) and can only generate image files. Minimal usage is (for instance):

xplanet -target moon -origin earth -num_times 1 -output mypicture.png

Please check the man for detailed usage (man xplanet) and xplanet-background for an automatic rendering in your home and application screen.

xplanet-background

Rating:

Your rating: None Average: 5 (9 votes)

Earth live rendering, updated every ten minutes, to be used as your
background home and application screen. Please check the configuration files
in /home/nemo/.config/xplanet for more options. Adding (realtime) cloud
coverage is supported (see below), displaying other Solar System objects, changing
viewing positions, angles and distances.
Please check /usr/share/xplanet/scattering/README for computing Rayleigh
scattering tables on the atmosphere (100 MB of data, disabled by default).

The live rendering is triggered with a systemd user service, “xplanet.service”, that calls “xplanet” once to generate images into /home/nemo/Pictures/Xplanet. This directory is automatically created at install time. These images are then used by two themes “xplanet” alternating one with each other to fake a dynamical background. This is triggered by a systemd (user land) timer every ten minutes, and should suspend automatically with your phone thereby preserving the battery.
At last, you can add (realtime) cloud coverage by adding manually a flat cloud map under the path:
/home/nemo/Pictures/Xplanet/clouds.jpg. If not present, you’ll get a cloudless Earth.

To desactivate xplanet-background, you should either uninstall it, or stop the timer:

systemctl –user stop xplanet.timer

To force the creation of the images at any time:

systemctl –user start xplanet.service

To check since when the last images have been created:

systemctl –user status xplanet.service

NB: The package assumes you’re competent in editing files. If you tweak configuration files or any files located in /usr/share/ambience/xplanet, they won’t be reset during an upgrade and may actually be incompatible with the newest versions. If you want a fresh configuration, you have to uninstall older versions before installing the new one.

NB2: Autodetection of screen resolution has been added in version 1.3.1-9. This is done by a script “/usr/bin/resxplanet.bash”. In case of issue, please report the result of this command too:

cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes

Enjoy!

* Mon Jun 30 2020 Eatdirt <eatdirt@mageia.org> 1.3.1-11
– Recompile against jolla libgif4

* Mon Nov 19 2018 Eatdirt <eatdirt@mageia.org> 1.3.1-10
– Fixes resolution detection failure and ambienced lock during upgrades from xplanet-1.3.1-8

* Fri Nov 16 2018 Eatdirt <eatdirt@mageia.org> 1.3.1-9
– Fixes for Sailfish 3. At last, all pictures need only to be
square sized.
– Tentative screen resolution detection at install time.
– Change of output directory for image files. They should now reside
into /home/nemo/Pictures/Xplanet and that directory is created at
installation time.
******************************
Please notice that your already existing configuration files will not work with this new version. If you have edited them, they need to be fixed after install. Or, alternatively, you can remove xplanet before installation of this new version to use the newest ones.
******************************

* Wed Jan 11 2017 Eatdirt <eatdirt@mageia.org> 1.3.1-8
– Workarounds to make the blurred application background
aspect-ratio.
– Remove any sound specification from the xplanet themes to avoid
overwriting user preferences.

* Mon Sep 12 2016 Eatdirt <eatdirt@mageia.org> 1.3.1-7

WARNING: Update only if you are running SailfishOS >= 2.0.2.51

– Ugly workarounds for circumvent bugs/crazy features of ambienced
introduced with Sailfish OS 2.0.2.51. In summary, Jolla does not want
you to touch the background pictures anymore. Two new themes created
are pushed one after each other every 10mn to fake updating the
background picture. Application picture is generated by Jolla, and is
not aspect ratio.

* Fri May 06 2016 Eatdirt <eatdirt@mageia.org> 1.3.1-5
– Change of timing method to optimize battery preservation. Now,
during suspend, xplanet should not generate any images. Replacing
‘-wait 600’ option within xplanet.sysconfig by ‘-num_times 1’, setting
‘oneshot’ systemd service and reactivating every 10 minutes
xplanet.service using a new xplanet.timer
– Add glare 100 around the Sun for the background image. I find it nicer 🙂

* Thu May 05 2016 Eatdirt <eatdirt@mageia.org> 1.3.1-4
IMPORTANT: new maps uploaded (see below). If you have edited the files in /home/nemo/.config/xplanet before this update, they are not overwritten and xplanet-background & xplanet may not be able to find the new maps.
