Publisher review:RSS-Planet is a newsmapper which uses RSS feeds from news websites to plot the current headlines on a world map. RSS-Planet is a newsmapper, i.e. a custom marker file generator for xplanet and OSXplanet which uses RSS feeds from news websites to plot the current headlines on a world map.
By default, BBC News, Yahoo! News, CNN.com and the Washington Post are supported, but other feeds with articles that include place names should work as well.
RSS-Planet can now alternatively output HTML with popup captions. If the command line option --web is used, a page called rssplanet.html is generated in the web_path directory.
Rendering of the background image no longer requires xplanet or OSXplanet in this mode, only the day and night images specified in renderplanet.py. Normally, these will be earth.jpg and night.jpg, which are available from from the xplanet/OSxplanet distribtution.
