Hi, There is an open Geoserver ticket about the same thing. Sample image and comments may be useful.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=213866#action_213866 -Jukka Rahkonen- -----Alkuperäinen viesti----- Lähettäjä: [email protected] puolesta: Dane Springmeyer Lähetetty: ma 22.3.2010 4:45 Vastaanottaja: Carlos Enrique López Garcés Kopio: Mapnik users mailing-list; mapnik-devel Aihe: Re: [Mapnik-users] [Mapnik-devel] Better Print Support GSoC'sproject Carlos, Welcome! We've already chatted on IRC, but its great to see you posting to the list already. Robert, Great ideas. I'd totally forgot about the amazing stuff started in that PDF branch. I think it came before my involvement with Mapnik. Do you have any cool sample output you could share? Maybe post to a new ticket that targets porting the featureset over to the Cairo backend? Colin, Likewise, I forgot how cool Holger's rotated maps were! Wow! http://www.ancalime.de/rotated.html I've updated the GSOC "better printed maps" entry to try to link to some existing tickets and if I've missed some of these ideas please create new tickets to capture them or otherwise edit the GSOC page. http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/GSOC2010/Ideas#BetterPrintSupport Right now the more ideas the better, so we can flesh out related topics. The time will come for both students, mentors, and the Mapnik community to hone in on the right feasible/fun subtopics, but for right now let's keep collecting the material. Thanks!
