I'm rendering some maps that need to have custom paths and labels drawn over them on the fly (for example, labeling specific cities / countries, or bezier lines indicating a path traveled). Is this something I could do using mapnik?
I was thinking perhaps I could generate a shapefile on the fly that contains the paths I'm looking to draw, as well as any cities I might want to label -- is this a reasonable approach? Will it be too slow? Is there any easier way? My other alternative is to draw using a different library, however PIL's graphics are aliased and don't look very nice. PythonMagick seems like a good option, but compeltely lacks documentation and hasn't been updated in ages. Any other recommendations? Thanks!
