Awesome! Congratulations, i envy you. I did not want to mislead people, maybe a misunderstanding?
I wrote in my mail that my understanding did not lead to a correct image, i meant that somewhere there must be a failure in my misunderstanding. I did not want to say that gdalwarp does not work, it obviously does work. Has anybody got a hint on which of my assumptions is wrong? a. The source SRS is epsg:4362 b. The target SRS should be as in osm.xml c. Mapnik can not warp a raster image, it has to be pre-warped. d. The "world file" of my TIF file is incorrect. e. anything else? I just tried the other hint of skipping the regions around the poles, the height is 21600, which is +90.0 to -90.0. I tried to go from +85.051128 to -85.051128 (atan(sinh(pi)) as this was mentioned to be the limit of mercaator. So i skipped 593 pixels at top and at bottom and changed the world file for a strip generated like that: 0.00833507730103945403 0.00 0.00 -0.00833507730103945403 0.0 85.051128779806589 No success... I began to reproject the blue marble with an own script but there is a slight offset / scale yet.
