Re: [OSM-talk] Kothic JS - a full-featured JavaScript map rendering engine using HTML5 Canvas
Actually all browsers work like this - they have UI and JS running in the same thread, so you can't do anything while a tile is rendered. I've split the process to 3 chunks (styling, map rendering and text rendering) to make the UI a little more responsive, but generally this can't be addressed well at the moment. I'm hoping that browsers will implement the ability to manipulate Canvas in a Web Worker sometime so rendering is in a separate thread.

[OSM-talk] Kothic JS - a full-featured JavaScript map rendering engine using HTML5 Canvas
Hi all, Glad to announce the first release of Kothic JS map rendering engine. There's live demo on http://kothic.org/js/ Main features are: * Pure javascript - no closed-source proprietary components like Silverlight or Flash; * Crossbrowser and cross-platform - works wherever you've got JavaScript and Canvas; * Rendering quality is superb and is on par with server-side renderers like Mapnik; * MapCSS support - reuse your stylesheet in other renderer, like Mapnik (using komap preprocessor), Halcyon or JOSM. * BSD license. GitHub repo: https://github.com/kothic/kothic-js (contributions welcome!)

This is possibly the first thing that brings the promise of it's open source, make your own maps into the realms of possibility for your average hacker. Plus, of course, the maps look gorgeous. It really validates the whole idea of OSM. Best thing in OSM this year. Huge amounts of congratulations for this. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Kothic-JS-a-full-featured-JavaScript-map-rendering-engine-using-HTML5-Canvas-tp6464000p6464072.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
