Hi all,
among the OS GIS we are trying Map Layouts especially for Geoscience
1. using OpenJUMP where in tools are present for rotating Geological structural
symbols. We have even printed to judge the accuracy of scale.
2. Shape file to SVG is a convenient option to color the final output in
Inks

Not that I know of. Maybe one day?
In the meantime, the pipeline still has what it takes to generate
good map series:
GML +/- (any XML data) + SLD/FE + WMS gr

Hi,
This is an interesting discussion!
In the XML world, the answer to graphics rendering is SVG + XSL-FO,
generated by XSLT scripts according to styling rules. XSL-FO
is then rendered via a formatting objects processor, like Apache FOP.
I'm of the opinion that a pipeline like:
GML +/- (any
I've tried to group some of discussion into various components that I
think are being discussed all at once:
8.1 Style & Layout Configuration Standards
8.2 Graphical Style & Layout Editor
8.3 Graphical Map Composition Editor
8.4 Rendering Engine
8.5 Libraries
I'm personally less interested in
I added a very short comment about using SVG as an export format and
bringing Inkscape and Scribus into the map production tool chain.
Inkscape and Scribus are both great programs and I think they are both
written in C++. (I wish they were written in Java.) :]
I'm in the process of adding function

Dear OSGeo,
I would like to launch the idea of an "OSGeo Cartographic Library" to
share concepts, source code and regression tests:

GRASS, QGIS and others are in the need of own map printing too
