Hi all, Since nobody responded to my previous e-mail to this list, I've started to port the .MAS file loader from C++ to Javascript so that it's now possible to load Merkaart style files (.MAS) into OpenLayers. This makes it easy to create styles in a WYSIWYG fashion, right from Merkaartor's convenient style editor. I've put my code online at Launchpad: http://code.launchpad.net/~peter-bex/openlayers/merkaartor-files Unfortunately, Openlayers' styling facilities are much less rich than Merkaartor's, so some style information is lost. I tried to stay as faithful to the output of Merkaartor, so I chose to follow the style color "stack" of fillColor, backgroundColor, foregroundColor, touchupColor in this order. This ensures that the topmost "layer" in the lines that Merkaartor draws are used. For example, this means that the borders that appear around a street in Merkaartor are not shown OpenLayers. Not all features are currently implemented, and it can only read .mas-files, not write them. I am not sure I will get around to work on these, so if anyone is feeling particularly helpful, feel free to help out ;) Cheers, Peter Bex Solide ICT - http://www.solide-ict.nl _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
