Hi all, I’m pleased to announce the release of Magnacarto[0], a new open source tools to create map files.
Magnacarto converts CartoCSS files to MapServer map files (and Mapnik XML). CartoCSS allows you to create complex map styles with a CSS like syntax. You might now CartoCSS from TileMill[1]. The CSS syntax and features like variables and attachments help you to manage complex styles - a few hundred lines of CartoCSS can result in a few thousand lines of MapServer stylings. Magnacarto is a command line tool and we have binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. We are also working on a web-frontend that shows you an interactive map with the final styling (with automatic reloading as soon as you make any changes to the styling). You will find simple example stylings here [2] and example output here [3].
