If something renders as an area in Mapnik then it's an area; building=*, natural=water and leisure=park are such tags. Tags which are not areas by default can be made areas by adding an area=yes, example highway=pedestrian needs to be tagged as an area to render as such. Areas: leisure=park highway=pedestrian; area=yes; name=Plaza Central Not areas: highway=pedestrian; name=Central Street > For example “junction=roundabout” > (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Droundabout) seems to a > linear feature even though the way is “closed” – loops back on itself.
