OpenMapClassic declines to stitch a city with no MapCityMask and names
the three it means -- Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus -- so zooming into
the Alliance capitals showed the zone's painting of them and never their
own map. The stated worry is a hard box.
PlaceBase takes the outline and the edge feather in the same argument,
and the city branch passes MapCityMask\<id> as the feather, so a city
with no outline can go through the slot its outline would have used. A
feather is the answer to a hard box. Captured at zoom 30: Stormwind's
districts, harbour and Valley of Heroes, blended into Elwynn.
The trace was attempted first, and this is the record so nobody re-runs
it: unlike the zones' land masks there are three shipped city masks to
fit against, so it is a fitting problem. Local-contrast detail,
threshold, close at quarter scale, largest blob, holes filled, dilate,
blur, swept over the three parameters -- best IoU 0.58, and it swallows
the sheet's own torn frame, because a city sheet is busy out to its
border where Orgrimmar's is blank parchment. A 0.58 hull shipped as a
trace would be a guess in an artist's clothes.
