Hi all, I'm having a problem with mod_tile. I'm using it together with Mapnik to render an overlay map, so I need a transparent background in tiles. Mapnik does this just fine by setting attribute bgcolor="transparent" in osm.xml file. However, mod_tile groups the mapnik tiles into a .meta file and the transparency gets lost there. When I use convert_meta to unpack the meta file, the background is black. Somebody had the same problem here either, http://www.nabble.com/layer-transperancy-td16639745.html but the thread seems to be dead already with no solution. Could somebody please look at it? Hope it is not too complicated to fix.
I tried to override the problem by swithing the meta-tiling off by commenting out the #define METATILE (8) line in render_config.h. Separate png files are actually good enough to me since my overlay is quite simple. But I run into few compiling problems, which I was unable to fix. Thanks for any advice or fix! mendrejk BTW: I compiled mod_tile from SVN approx. two weeks ago. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
