* Mapnik does not yet support on-the-fly reprojection of raster layers (like it does for vector layers) * Mapnik supports on-the-fly reprojection of raster layers (like it does for vector layers)
* Therefore it is necessary to first (externally) warp an image to the Spatial Reference System (srs) used in the map (e.g. using the `gdalwarp` command from the gdal-utilities). * However, for optimal performance it can be best to first (externally) warp an image to the Spatial Reference System (srs) used in the map (e.g. using the `gdalwarp` command from the gdal-utilities).
* As of Mapnik 0.6.0 the RasterSymbolizer supports transparency and composition modes. * As of Mapnik 0.6.0 the RasterSymbolizer supports transparency and composition modes.
