[OSGeo-Discuss] How to make a map on a CD [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Christian Willmes]

Hi bobb,

I know of an OpenSource based toolchain for creating 3D-PDF with Meshlab 
and LaTex. (Actually I think I got the link from this list a while back, 
but it could be also from an other list...)

Here is a blog post about it (in german):

And here the the google translation, which is quite ok to understand 
whats going on i think:

best regards,
Christian
