[postgis-users] Generating PNGs from PostGIS

[Dane Springmeyer]

Dylan,

+1 on Webb's suggestion, as Mapnik is a great tool for rendering PNG's  
from postgis data.

Like Regina said, if you are looking for a Graphical tool, OpenJump,  
QGIS, and uDig are great solutions.

But if you are looking for a commandline or scriptable solution and  
you are into python, then mapnik's python bindings offer you a lot of  
flexibility for rendering postgis data.

An example script for working with and styling postgis data is here:

Cheers,

Dane
