Hello gurus, I'm hoping to make a galactic map of the fictional galaxy from the EVE-Online game. I have the data (x,y,z coordinates). I set a style game plan (seen above, created in Illustrator). I've done some research and created a couple "Hello world" images. Now I'm guessing I need to create a shapefile? One tool that may be helpful is Shapelib. There's some documentation at: http://shapelib.maptools.org/shapelib-tools.html Using shapelib though, I'm not sure what kind of numbers/scale I should be using. The polygon example from the link above uses numbers like 100000 to 7000000. Is there an ideal scale to use? Is there another shapefile generator you would recommend? Where would the labels go? http://old.nabble.com/file/p26869227/Picture2.png Here's an image of the entire galaxy rendered in Flash. It would be awesome to get this thing in a slidy map instead (better usability for a fun in-game project). I'd appriciate any feedback you may have. Please be kind as I'm new to mapnik. If anything though I should have a map of my hometown running soon. Mapnik rocks my world.
