The original poster said that he wanted to print a large image at 200 dpi. At that resolution, the image created by the default script will produce very thin lines and small text. No good for a poster. So he will need to hack the osm.xml file to change that, unless there is a trick I have missed. :-) -- Philip Stubbs _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
