- build now osm plugin automatic if libxml2 is used
- moved osm/Makefile to osm/Makefile.example because if name collision
-> better move the example to another directory later
- optional CAIRO support
- changed libxml2 switch comment
transcode strings in filter expressions (default to utf8 input)
-- we can use map definition *.xml to define encoding
-- and in case of Python from
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
utf8 encoded filters are working now.
Add new find_point_placements to cover the gap left.
Change shield symbolizer to use find_point_placements.
Results are the same as before, but with much less duplicate code.
Slightly changes the result of max_char_angle_delta as now character angles aren't strict against the line angles.
Example screenshots on mailing list! :)
Spacing and no spacing line rendering are done by the same function.
Code is cleaner, performance should be equal or improved.
Text displacement is "Different", better in some cases and worse in others, I can revert it if wanted.
Old non spacing code is not yet removed as it is used by ShieldSymbolizer which I haven't investigated yet.
Individual character placement still has issues, that is my next task to fix!
1. The README talks about "scons.py", but it is just called "scons".
2. In demo/c++ there is a Makefile, but the readme.txt gives a command
line to compile. Both don't work for me. One error can at least be
fixed by adding -I../../agg/include to the command line.
3. When compiling Mapnik an error is thrown because of a redefined type.
This was on an Intel 64Bit machine. Fixed by "typedef char byte" to
"typedef uint8_t byte" in include/mapnik/global.hpp. I am not sure
whether thats the right fix, though, I just guessed. :-)
4. include/mapnik/image_data.hpp needs
#include <mapnik/octree.hpp>
to compile
