Can areas be nested? i.e. if there is a large amount of farmland with a wooded area in the middle, can you just draw a large area for the farmland and a smaller area within it for the wooded land, or do you have to make sure the areas don't overlap (e.g. by leaving a hole in the middle of the farmland).
This applies to many other areas, such as lakes within parks, schools within residential areas, etc. To a human, it is fairly obvious that a small areas which is completely enclosed within a larger area should take presidence, but are the renderers expected to understand this? As a side note, I noticed that whilst Mapnik appears to be quite good at rendering areas (e.g. industrial landuse) under the ways, Osmarender doesn't seem smart enough and areas sometimes obscure ways. For example, the river is obscured by an industrial area here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=51.68998&lon=-3.9007&zoom=16&layers=0B0FT - Steve xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
