Hi All,<br><br>I'm curious what options have been explored to create tick marks, graticules and outside-of-map symbology? I'm currently investigating the use of Matplotlib as a compositer to draw on top of a Mapserver-generated image, and while I think this will give nice looking results, the speed of the process is quite slow, probably because Matplotlib deconstructs the Mapserver image with PIL and works with it as a numpy array. <br>
<br>I'm interested in hearing about any other tools that allow for the same sort of "drawing on top of" strategy, preferrably ones with API's.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Roger<br>--<br>
