Ignoring for the moment that we shouldn't do this to effect the outcome of rendering, this isn't actually needed as the size of each area is stored in the per-processed rendering database/tables and the system orders by the layer then by the area covered. Also Roads etc are drawn on top of areas, so actually stating layer=* isn't needed to order the drawing order of area colouring. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] ABS post code areas
I plan to tag landuse=residential polygons with town information, or try to, things like is_in:country, is_in:state and state multipolygons can be tagged with country information, the only corner case then is roads between towns which is where postcode boundaries would be useful. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Actually is in is pointless, the name tag can be grabbed from the bounding multipolygon. Anyway, this seems to be the most important information for a town polygon, not touching suburbs at this point in time thought I'd start with the easy cases :) landuse=residential admin_level=10 name=Town Name population=pop When postal boundaries are put in place the postal codes can be worked out for places as well. As for place nodes, it seems all that is needed is: place=city|town|village name=name Thoughts? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Hi. I have seen a couple of places where you have put these. Can you please put something like layer=-5, as otherwise they cover up other layers in the town. - Ben. 2009/7/29 John Smith delta_foxt...@yahoo.com I plan to tag landuse=residential polygons with town information, or try to, things like is_in:country, is_in:state and state multipolygons can be tagged with country information, the only corner case then is roads between towns which is where postcode boundaries would be useful. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
