Awesome -- thank you! > Bye > Frederik > > -- > Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" > > > _______________________________________________ > dev mailing list > dev@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev I'd also like to briefly mention how I repaired the polygons I used from NaturalEarthData. I know Jochen's tool and coastcheck do some repairing as well, and they may be better suited (I'm not entirely sure what they do under the hood), but there's this tool that I found pretty handy available here: https://github.com/tudelft-gist/prepair. It uses constrained triangulation to fix polygons so that they conform to the common simple feature standard -- the paper can be found here: http://www.gdmc.nl/ledoux/pdfs/_12agile.pdf. It may be of some use in automating polygon repair for osm coastlines.
