Howdy, Forgive my ignorance. I'm new to mapnik but am fascinated by the beautiful maps I'm seeing.
While digging into tools offered at mapbox.com, I'm hope to to build a custom galaxy map based on the fictitious galaxy of EVE-online. It's odd yes, but fun projects like this help make things fun for future drier projects like exhibitors at a hotel ballroom. Any thoughts on where to get started? Should I start with some normal local maps and work my way into outer space? Can I work with my own vector files? I do have access to data somewhere where I can generate fake coordinates for everything, and could draw stuff pragmatically. No problem there, just not sure where to start digging. Super ugly rough of what I'm talking about: http://old.nabble.com/file/p26805511/Picture2.png Each dot has a name. They connect to neighboringish dots (jump gates) using other data I can look up. It would be cool to show this galactic highway, with some landmarks and such. :) I appreciate any feedback/ideas you may have. Thanks much in advance! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Non-standard-maps%3A-galaxies--hotels--tp26805511p26805511.html Sent from the Mapnik - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
