angle changes too much between characters it finds an alternate
placement), this is specified in the max_char_angle_delta property in
radians (feel free to change it to degrees).
It also improves the text placement around corners trying to minimise
the distance between the center of the character and the line on each
side. This is the major portion of the patch.
rendering them as labels when using the text or shield symbolisers
(blame my horrible datasets)
* correctly recognise the Postgis "text" data type (it was in
postgisfs.cpp just not postgis.cpp) - my initial workaround to the
above was "SELECT trim(from label) AS label ..." which failed
miserably because it returned a text data type.
Thanks to Robert Coup for the patch!
Map and Layer objects both have a new parameter 'srs', initialized to "+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84" by default.
Basic usage (Python):
p = Projection("+proj=merc +datum=WGS84")
point = p.forward(Coord(-2,51))
...
2.reflected arithmetic operators for Envelope/Coord into Python
3.altered return policies for python objects
4.modified build system to require proj4 lib and headers
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)
(to construct custom 'Output' derive from feature_style_processor (CRTP) e.g
class MyOutput : public feature_style_processor<MyOutput>
and implement:
process(***_symbolizer const&, Feature const&)
methods
At the moment only AGG renderer is implemented
