Hi Felix,
okay, maybe I'll add this as an experimental option as well. One big question here is: At what point would the cutting happen? Before style processing (as we do with mp-relations) or maybe as a new stage before the img data is written. What I don't yet understand is the idea that a smaller polygon is more important. Do you have examples for that, esp. cases where shapes do only partially overlap?

Think of a shape for "place=village" with hundreds of holes for each building shape. Up to now we save the shape for the village and the shapes for the buildings. With cutting we have to calculate what remains of the village shape, this would be a very complex shape with many holes, so it would have many points. I don't think that would be a good idea. Well that's why I wrote we will need an additional file in the style-file for this. So only for certain polygons this should be done. Prime examples are: any kind of forest, most kind of water, and maybe a handful more. However definitely not buildings or for example poygons you can put semi-transparent. I'm quite sure with this limited approach 90% of problems would be gone. And mapsize only a couple percent bigger. However I have no clue about complexity and CPU cycles for such a limited approach. -- Felix Hartman - Openmtbmap.org & VeloMap.org Schusterbergweg 32/8 6020 Innsbruck Austria - ?sterreich
