Mapnik is really the only viable option for rendering them at this point. You can do this through tilemill/tilestream or using tilestache. The examples are running off of static json files (hence the lack of zoom controls) but they were generated by TileStache (via Mapnik). [http://tilestache.org/doc/TileStache.Goodies.Providers.MapnikGrid.html] Tilemill also generates the UTFGrid tiles via Mapnik and stuffs them into a .mbtiles sqlite database which can be served by TileStream. -- ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º> "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." -- Alan Kay Matthew T.
