[postgis-devel] Nice diagrams

[Kevin Neufeld]

Ah yes, that's a good point.  The images were taken using OpenJUMP's 
screenshot feature and modified using PhotoShop.  I suppose I could save 
the features as small shapefiles, jml, or gml, but it would be nice to 
save the styling as well (which doesn't work yet in JUMP).  (Personally, 
I like the drop shadows, which obviously JUMP can't do as well).

Does anyone have any suggestions how we could standardize this?  Perhaps 
a GIS editor I'm unware of that can perform nice rendering so all we 
have to do is load a project file and take some screen shots.  Or, 
alternatively, we just agree on a color theme, image size, etc. and save 
the features as WKT in an images_src directory.  (Is there an opensource 
picture editor out there that can do drop shadows?)

Cheers,
Kevin
