The actual size of a circular 7 shield generated by Mapnik.
Yeah, but is it set in stone that it Cannot Be Larger Than It Is Now? I
doubt it. And I feel that gaining the ability to have state-specific
shields is worth giving up a tiny bit of space.
Is it not possible to render an icon at any size we want? Yes, if it’s too
big it will not work on the map, but I think 20×20 is quite reasonable (and
readable).
It's a tradeoff where bigger shields reduce the space for other features.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t adjust to give a little more
space to highway shields.
Not that we have to or should follow the lead of other map sites, but it
seems like 17×17 is a pretty bare minimum.
