mapsforge-map-writer bbox required

[Neil Boyd]

I've created a country osm.pbf from planet using a polygon and I want to make a map from it.  When I use the map writer osmosis plugin I get this error:

SEVERE: No valid bounding box found in input data.

Please provide valid bounding box via command line parameter 'bbox=minLat,minLon,maxLat,maxLon'.

Tile based data store not initialized. Aborting...

I don't have a bounding box because I used a polygon.  I could add bbox=-90,-180,90,180 to get rid of the error, but that doesn't seem like the best solution. Is there a better way of generating the map from a polygon?

Okay, I answered my own question.  I converted the polygon to a bounding box using a slightly modified version of poly2osm.pl from here

http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/osm-extract/polygons/ 

And used that to specify the bbox.
