Alberto, An OGR plugin would be an excellent feature.
I wonder whether it would be equally useful in the short-term (and easier to implement), an extension of mapnik's memory_datasource to support line and polygon geometries (single and multi). Currently, based on lwu's patch (https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/mapnik-devel/2008-September/000710.html ), PointDatasource() can be used to dynamically feed in geometries and attributes. I've used GeoDjango to produce these, since GeoDjango already offers an excellent python interface to all ogr formats, but the native python bindings of gdal/ogr would likely work well too. What do you think? Have you rebuilt yet with Lwu's patch? Dane On Sep 22, 2008, at 9:16 AM, Alberto Giménez E. wrote: > Hello list, > > Has anyone thought about a GDAL/OGR pluggin for mapnik?
