As nice as the idea is, I think it will be quite a massive undertaking and we would break all the beautiful (ok and ugly) cartography that people have come up with using the rich array of rendering styles that QGIS currently has. I would also like to see a native OpenGL renderer one day so that we can start to thing about native 3D support. Maybe it would be nice to make a patch that lets you swap between Qt rendering backend and Ice, but honestly its probably a lot of work and may just fade away like the old mapnick renderer did… Regards Tim > All the best. > > -- > Paolo Cavallini - www.faunalia.eu > QGIS & PostGIS courses: http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-developer mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer — Tim Sutton Visit http://kartoza.com <http://kartoza.com/> to find out about open source: * Desktop GIS programming services * Geospatial web development * GIS Training * Consulting Services Skype: timlinux Irc: timlinux on #qgis at freenode.net Tim is a member of the QGIS Project Steering Committee Kartoza is a merger between Linfiniti and Afrispatial
