I think I can do fine programming departamental codes. That means a Python
programming code that is no so elegant but that works fine. I am geologist a
person who learnt programming by myself but I have to much experience making
programs for automatic map production with a procedural language but written
with an object oriented like style. I am considering me a person who knows
about programming restrictions in cartographic production and usually I can got
the best of my programs because I think I can recongize the limits of computer
methods.<br>
<br>
Production python code, I think, must take in account carefully other elements
like error detection routines, the use of version control systems and probably
other methods/tools suggested by the good practice manual that I am not so
familiar but I know is not impossible to learn in short term.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

What about xml parsing. Yes I have some experience processing xml with python
and I did it by using standard and common python libraries like minidom.
minidom is something simple and it create a dom object and you can navigate on
it going from leaf to leaf but I am not sure that it will be a good library for
parsing XML in a complete manner.<br>
<br>
On programming I am usually work in a very conservative manner, I usually look
for the most supported modules and I also I like to review if the implemented
methods by the module are alike the standard methods (in this case all standard
methods used in xml processing). I am not an expert but following the last
enouced criteria I think the best way is use the standard xml.dom library.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I think you are telling me about vector to raster convertion as a GIS process.
I've never ear about library for convert vector to rasters but there are some
python modules that are so popular, I think can be use for doing something like
this. PIL (Python Image Library) and SciPy (Scientific Python that include
several recognized modules).<br>

Whatever you will whant to do when you print a map you must pass before from
svg as a graphical format and then ps or eps as pre-printing format.<br>
<br>
This is the schema of this workflow<br>

data -> representation display -> svg generation -> pre-printing
format (ps or eps)<br>
-> pdf<br>

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I need some more time to look at your
changes, but I quickly skimmed the XML file you provided, and I think we are
headed in the correct direction. I remember considering the requirement to render
multiple layers (roads and rivers, for example) from the same input file after
I sent my first sample. That means you’ve got to think about z ordering when
you render and about associating a style with each layer. It looks like you’ve
done this with some of your changes. I will try to ask some questions about
your other mods and post a revised XML file based on your suggestions tomorrow.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<br>
I looked at your schema quickly and made some "changes". I just
noticed that I'm mixing map composition (within a software) with map printing
properties. Sorry about that.<br>
<br>
This of course, is just a suggestion :P<br>
