It is interesting that at ArcGIS 9.4, ESRI is going to release the ability to script map production with python, much like how the old ArcPlot used to work.
This is a wonderful idea Markus! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo) Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 9:36 AM To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Proposal: OSGeo Cartographic Library On 7-Apr-08, at 1:53 AM, Markus Neteler wrote: > I would like to launch the idea of an "OSGeo Cartographic Library" to > share concepts, source code and regression tests: Thanks Markus - you beat me to it! :) Having grown up learning ArcPlot, I long for the ability to compose maps and output them in a high-quality plotter-ready format. Also, I miss the ability to script the creation of maps which is needed in many industrial or highly-productive mapping environments (e.g. GUI- based map design tools are the bane of productivity in many offices I've been in). I'll add my notes to the wiki and start to use the discussion page too.
