Starting again about *round*abouts
The renderers accept two methods of drawing a *round*about. There is a quick and easy method ideal for where two simple ways cross. Somebody has decided that this is called a mini-roundabout, and honestly I don't think that this item actually exists in Australian road design. There is another method which needs someone to draw in four points *square*about if we are lucky; *quad*about otherwise; and can extend to *dodeca*about if someone insists on creation of a beautiful form. With a way indicating one way drawn around the nodes, we can have a roundabout junction for the renderer. The renderers note a collection of straight lines and we don't get anything *round* at all. JOSM makes awful circles if you request it to make a circle. Merkaator is a bit better but still makes deformed shapes. So the maligned mini-roundabout is the only one where current renderers make a circle on the map. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
