+ removed multiple geometry typedefs
+ use geometry_type
+ revert to storing vertices in vector_vertex
(previous implementation using std::vector was
fragmenting heap causing performance issues with large geometries)
+ FIXME: hit_test is broken!
2. PostGIS plug-in - optional 'multiple_geometries' parameter to control how Multi* geometries built.
3. MarkersSymbolizer (work in progress) to render vector shapes (markers) alonh a path with collision detection.
(FIXME : label_spacing is still, too slow!!)
2. Re-use some agg objects.
3. placement_finder cleanups!
4. Added support for 'building_symbolizer' - extruded polygons
2. Pass resolution to bbox query
3. Use variant<int,double,string> as parameter value e.g in Python:
ds = Raster(file="/path/to/file",lox = 12312.4,.....)
Added extractor facility to work with mapnik::parameter (C++):
mapnik::parameters params;
params["parameter0"] = 123.456;
params["parameter1"] = "123.456"; // initialize with string extract double later
boost::optional<double> val0 = params.get<double>("parameter0");
if (val0)
{
std::cout << *val0;
}
// with default value. NOTE: there is no 'parameter2' in params
boost::optional<double> val2 = params.get<double>("parameter2",654.321);
std::cout << * val2;
//
4. Added Gdal factory method in __init__.py
ds = Gdal(file="/tmp/file.tiff")
f = feature(id);
f["name"] = "what is my name?";
boost.put(f,"area",123123.4325);
2. simplified and corrected value class and operators
3. updated input plug-ins to work with new features
4. add text_symbolizer (getting there:)
5. template version of agg_renderer
6. attribute_collector how accepts rules
(to collect attribute names for text labels)
