Mapnik is an OpenSource C++/Python toolkit for developing
|
|
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) applications. At the core is a C++ shared
|
|
library providing algorithms/patterns for spatial data access and visualization.
|
|
|
|
Essentially a collection of geographic objects (map, layer, datasource, feature, geometry),
|
|
the library doesn't rely on "windowing systems" and can be deployed in any server environment.
|
|
It is intended to play fair in a multi-threaded environment and is aimed primarily,
|
|
but not exclusively, at web-based development.
|
|
|
|
High-level Python bindings (boost.python) facilitate rapid application development,
|
|
targeting zope3, django etc.
|
|
|
|
Mapnik is a free software and is released under LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public Licence) (see COPYING)
