I'm no scripter myself, but I suppose that it won't be needed to render the tiles on the device, just tome way to download the png tiles from the server and print them side to side.

I'm thinking web based script that produced pdf files of OSM would be really really good, Possibly rendering direct to PDF (which is actually a vector based format) Possibly done so the scale was correct on each page rather than trying to fit a globe on a bit of paper. (Like a big road map) and we don't end up with page after page of blue sea. I'm thinking php can produce pdfs quite well so why not. If done well, we could then send the pdf to a printer and get it published. I'm thinking a published Road Atlas sitting on the book shelf next the the RAC and AA versions would be rather impressive.

I'm thinking php can produce pdfs quite well so why not. you might want to look at the python bindings and scripts (e.g: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik/generate_image.py) which can easily generate PDF using pycairo rather than the raster image output.

(and a good money spinner to boot) i've found that printers often prefer high resolution images over PDFs, but these are also pretty easy to generate. for the mappa mercia A0 print [1] it looks like 9934 x 14046 (300dpi) was a good resolution. cheers, matt [1] http://blog.mappa-mercia.org/2009/03/birmingham-solihull-map-now-in-print.html ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

The big advantage of doing it this way is that you avoid any font (or other) embedding problems. The alternative is to convert the text to outlines before saving it in your vector format of choice (PDF/EPS/Illustrator), which also works well. In theory you can embed the fonts in the PDF if the font permissions are ok, but generally you only find out that this hasn't worked once 25,000 copies have come back from the printers. If you pick up a copy of the Waterways World Annual 2009 (for which someone else did the maps, not me) you'll see we have a map of the Broads without any rivers on it. :| cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/script-to-cut-a-big-OSM-map-into-letter-or-A4-size-papers-tp23716831p23744965.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
