Dear all,
I was trying to build a map of strings, where each string fill its entire
shape, e.g. to display the name of the mountain ranges. Although I studied the
documentation on Trac and the code itself, I was not able to find anything like
this in the current /branches/0.7 release (unfortunately, I am not able to
build boost 1.41 so I cannot use /trunk at the moment).
Therefore, I modified the current text renderer (placement_finder to be more
exact) to support "justified" text rendering for line placement. Below are some
screen-shots showing the end result (please note that the style is not optimal
yet!).
An example of such a map is shown in the following image:

And two samples once integrated with our 3d visualisation soultion Gaea+:

o http://gmajna.net/svojat/lemmy/gaea-2.png
Although such a style is seldom used in maps seen on the web I was wondering
whether there is anyone else interested in such a feature of the text renderer.
If so, I can try to clean up the code (yes, it's been a while since I worked
with C++ :)) and share it.
Wish you all a great weekend,
Gregor
