You should be using the trident unit spec directly...that's what 
isotrident and isophex do.  However the unit_offset values in the 
tileset aren't enough to determine the panel size.  What's needed is 
either to determine this at runtime (by clipping all units) or to let 
the tileset specify it separately (unit_rectangle_x/y/w/h, perhaps). 
Determining it at runtime is what's done in the citydlg; however this 
isn't very good since it's hard to take sprites other than the base unit 
sprite (i.e., flags, activity sprites, etc.) into account.
