here's a svn diff of my simile checkout to make it work locally:
https://dev.livingreviews.org/projects/epubtk/attachment/ticket/410/diff.log
it's a bit messy - having not only the necessary changes but also
wrong turns i took.
it still needs a local painter script to create the markers for the map legend:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import cStringIO
import cgi
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
def paint(color='d00', type='marker'):
i = Image.new('RGBA', (20,20), (0,0,0,0))
if type == 'marker':
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(i)
draw.ellipse((1,1,19,19), fill='#%s' % color, outline='#000')
f = cStringIO.StringIO()
i.save(f,'PNG')
f.seek(0)
return f.read()
args = dict(color='d00', type='marker')
if form.has_key("background"):
args['color'] = form["background"].value
if form.has_key("renderer") and form['renderer'].value == 'map-marker-shadow':
args['type'] = 'shadow'
print "Content-type: image/png\n"
print paint(**args)
sys.exit(0)
