Fwd: [postgis-devel] AsSVG patch

[Marco Hugentobler]

Dear postgis developers,

As I didn't receive any feedback to the patch for AsSVG, I just repeat my 
e-mail. I think the patch is quite interesting for svg power users and so it 
would be good if someone could review it and it could ev. find its way to the 
standard PostGIS distribution.

Regards,
Marco

Dear postgis developers,

Find attached a patch that improves the svg output:

* Support of GeometryCollection geometries
* proper closing of the SVG path geometries using the SVG "z|Z" command (in 
case of POLYGON|MULTIPOLYGON elements)
* introduction of additional white-spaces in some cases for easier parsing
* removal of unnecessary minus signs infront of "0" coordinates

The patch has been tested by the SVG experts Andreas Neumann,  Klaus Förster 
and Bruce Rindahl. It would be great if the patch could be integrated into 
postgis svn. Please review the code carefully, as I'm a newbie in postgis 
server programming.

The documentation of ST_AsSVG could be changed the following way:

ST_AsSVG(geometry, [rel], [precision])

Return the geometry as an SVG path data. Use 1 as second argument to have the 
path data implemented in terms of relative moves, the default (or 0) uses 
absolute moves. Third argument may be used to reduce the maximum number of 
decimal digits used in output (defaults to 15). Point geometries will be 
rendered as cx/cy when 'rel' arg is 0, x/y when 'rel' is 1. Multipoint 
geometries are delimited by commas (","), GeometryCollection geometries are 
delimited by semicolons (";").


Best regards,
Marco
