[Carto] Sample Map Rendering Input File

[Landon Blake]

George,

 

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.

 

If we get a simple input file busted out before the weekend I can start
putting together some test code next week. I'll need help with some
suggestions from the group on the best way to handle XML and WKT in
Python. Unless there is little interest in the Python code among our
group, in which case I will use Java, since I will be much faster with
that language. :]

Hello Lando,

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.

This of course, is just a suggestion :P

Please let me know what you think.

Paul Spencer, I'd be very interested in your thoughts on how closely one
should model after existing APIs, thinking of MapServer MapScript for
example.  I assume the MAP->LAYER->STYLE->CLASS approach is used by many
apps in slightly different ways..?
