Hello,
i try to render a map of the world with country names and the capitol names
rendered.
I always understood it that way that mapnik calculates based on some rules
if a name should be shown and then places/renders it if it does not overlap
anything else. Is that correct?
I now try to render it like this (denominator matching and TextSymbolizer
skipped):
# country names
<Filter>[place] = 'country'</Filter>
# city names
<Filter>[place] = 'city' and [capital]='yes'</Filter>
I now wonder why in USA only Washington is rendered and in Great Britain i
can see Cardiff and Edingurgh but not London?
In Australia the capitols of the single territories are rendered, not just
Canberra.
Is the "capitol" attribute handled inconsistently?
Should there be one for state_capitol and one for federal_capitol?
In Europe, most capitol names are skipped because they'd overlap the country
names.
Is there a clever way to render them? Maybe close to where they should be
rendered? And connected with a thin line or an arrow?
The map of the world looks really cool, just the names of some countries and
of most capitols are missing, it would be great to get this rendered somehow.
Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.
