Mapnik's SVG output is not very usable in an editor such as Inkscape, because objects are not "logically" grouped. It would be fantastic if this could be improved, and if landuse/roads/buildings/public transport/labels etc. were split into separate SVG layers (likewise for PDF output, in fact). I guess this would require dedicated backends, instead of benefiting from Cairo's nice multi-output features. -- Eric Marsden _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
