SVG Icons in Mapnik
August 20th, 2008
After a bit of a quick and dirty hack, there is now a version of Mapnik capable of rendering SVG icons directly to the Cairo back-end. The result is a lovely print-quality map, such as this. Sadly, when I try to load it KPDF crashes. Xpdf is OK, but I don’t know about other renderers… I thought they were all based on poppler these days anyway.
I’ll spend some time cleaning up the new additions and hopefully this’ll make its way into Mapnik’s trunk real soon now.

Okular (KPDF’s evolution in KDE 4) seems happy on my KDE 4.1 system. Really nice by the way – hope to see them start appearing on the main map some day soon!

Looks (very) good in Apple Preview.
