Hi, I disagree with this point of view. In nearly all cases, if there is a place outside the map, I don't want half of it's label on my map. There's no point making a custom map if it is that crude. There is one obscure exception, that only doesn't seem obscure because it's about all we

Hi, It's not very clear to me what osmarender frontend should be directed to: I think this is not clear to many, but the core problem is that to render a map with Osmarender, you need a set of rules, and today the only way to edit this rule set is to fire up your editor and modify the XML file.

Hi 80n! :) JOSM is directed towards editing nodes, ways and relations. For the Osmarender frontend you want to be editing rules and styles. Not sure that JOSM helps much with that. My idea was to integrate this as an independent JOSM plugin only to let the final user living with as few

Hi, I could imagine that for a simple raw preview functionality, one could take the procedural variant of Osmarender and replace the SVG generator bit by writing directly to a Cairo or GD canvas (or generationg Java2D graphics instructions). This would perhaps not give you the 100% true

Hi, Of course the processing time depends highly on what you want to render. Rendering the city of Karlsruhe takes about 30 seconds for the XSLT part and another 60 seconds to display the resulting SVG, on a fast machine; but if you work with a reasonable sub-section then it will be

Hi, So, if we want to mantain XSLT, there should be a way to display only a subset of the SVG, with a sort of global preview and the classical rectangle, which could be used to zoom only single parts of the map. When you use the rectangle, the program should take only the points that
