Hi All,
PostGIS, a cartographic tool? I have a rather vague query,
so bear with me. I'm looking to shortcut some painful manual cartographic
work, with any luck by using PostGIS.
I want to show nearly coincident lines with exaggerated
distances between them, while maintaining their basic topology-e.g. having
lines cross when they cross. In other words, all nodes of intersection
should be stationary, and all other vertices moved some distance "away".
I'm supposing I can define "away" topologically (left or right), or even
along the same axis as a line drawn between the vertex and the nearest point
on a line. Am I thinking along the right lines, and should I be using
topology rules to keep my nodes stationary, or can I keep it simpler?
Best,
Steve
