Dear Geowankers! About:
Mapnik is a Free <http://mapnik.org/licence/> Toolkit for developing mapping applications. Above all Mapnik is about making beautiful maps. It is easily extensible and suitable for both desktop and web development. It uses the AGG <http://www.antigrain.com> library and offers world class anti-aliasing rendering with subpixel accuracy for geographic data. It is written from scratch in modern C++ and doesn't suffer from design decisions made a decade ago. When it comes to handling common software tasks such as memory management, filesystem access, regular expressions, parsing and so on, Mapnik doesn't re-invent the wheel, but utilises best of breed industry standard libraries from boost.org <http://boost.org> New Features: Font engine, text symbolizer, label collision detector Work in progress on XML based map definitions and more. Here are some results so far: http://static.flickr.com/35/106561736_afcdc30ddb_o.png Cheers Artem Pavlenko _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
