hi peter, > What do you mean by "generalize your map"? Remove points based on > the scale being displayed?
what ever process the base data for your map comes out, it generally holds many many unneeded vertices (points). reasons may be automated vectorisation, description of curves as straigt segments and so on. optimsing this part (in respect of expected zoom behaviour) is by far the most important point in file size reduction and rendering speed. > As an aside, in #7, > <path d="M123456,456789 l 44,55 66,77 88,99"> > can be written as > <path d="m123456,456789 44,55 66,77 88,99"> > I think that they draw the same thing. yes. starting "m..." and closing "...z" cannot be really relative, so the result is the same as "M..." and "...Z" > Perhaps I'll need to recap again, as I didn't get it complete this > time. when it comes to layouted maps (text with masking, nice symbolisation of lines, etc.), you will have a lot of other optimisation possibilties ;-) andré ------------------------ Yahoo!
