You might find the combination of the Desktop GIS QGIS (Quantum GIS) and a
plugin for it, "Quantumnik" interesting:
http://bitbucket.org/springmeyer/quantumnik/wiki/Home
As far as I know, the Plugin allows to use Mapnik as a rendering engine
inside QGIS (with its zomming and panning features). It has some more
capabilities, of course, but these seem to be what you are looking for.
QGIS is scriptable e.g. using python, if you need it.
Yours, Holger
