Hi, with OSM data, I'm trying to use the ShieldSymbolizer to render hiking map symbols along a way (or rather, a relation). The symbols appear, but apparently Mapnik doesn't repeat them. I was hoping to use a small min_distance to get multiple icons rather close together. It doesn't matter whether I add placement="line" or not.
Another thing is that I absolutely need to give a face_name, size and a name parameter, even though I just want to render the icon alone. As a workaround, I used a text size of 0, which still draws a single colored dot inside the icon though. The effect can be seen at http://opentiles.com/cmarqu/ I'm using the python bindings (via a slightly modified Cascadenik) of Mapnik SVN trunk as of about a week ago. FWIW, I added the config data to http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/ShieldSymbolizer based on what I learned so far, please review. (Another feature that would be nice to have is allow_overlap).
