Matthew, Look into metatiles http://geowebcache.org/trac/wiki/metatiles
Which you can use tileCache to create with mapnik. Pretty much the only way to get good labels that I've found. jay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matthew Rushton" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 8:10:45 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [Mapnik-users] normal label rendering? Hi, I'm using mapnik (it's great!) with open street map to render 64x64 tiles. The problem I'm bumping up against is labels that span tiles which in some cases are not being rendered which produces half labels on my map. I realize that for 64x64 tiles the tiles I need to render must be larger for this exact problem and this makes sense. However to get labels to properly render without getting cut off I need to render 512x512 tiles. This is very expensive and seems really wasteful, given the entire label in all cases would be inside a much smaller tile. My question before I go searching through code is, is this normal? What kind of buffer is needed to properly render tiles. Any insight into this would be great! Thanks so much. -Matt _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
