Hi Cristian, It depends on what you want to do. It's quite easy to have a Django view returning a map image using Mapnik Python bindings. You would simply write the image to the HttpResponse object. If you use GeoDjango, you will probably need to draw some of your model instances on the Mapnik map. For this purpose, you could create a PostGIS DataSource object and point it to the relevant tables in your model backend. I don't know how it would work if your DB backend is not Postgres/PostGIS however. This solution is not portable and unfortunately does not rely on Django QuerySet objects but I don't know any better solution. Hope that helps -- Gilles Bassière - MAKINA CORPUS http://www.makina-corpus.com _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
