Hemant. Interesting problem. I think you are on the right track looking into ogr and/or PostGIS. I would try this first in PostGIS using a few SQL scripts.
In general I would try unioning your whole dataset and then re- splitting the linework at the desired interval. I did something similar (though a bit more involved) with the help of PostGIS users a while back: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04582.html Dane --- \o/ --- Sent from my phone On Dec 24, 2009, at 10:33 PM, Hemant Bist <[email protected]> wrote: > This is not necessarily a Mapnik question.
