                Hello Jukka,
                
                thanks for your hint, but to my understanding this contradicts
                the description of RasterImage in Mapnik and the web page
                that converts "blue marble" using gdalwarp.
                
                In the documentation for RasterImage it says that Mapnik
                can't (yet) reproject reaster image data, they have to match
                the target projection.  I got that answer to another question:
                
                
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01213.html
                
                
                So if in osm.xml there is:
                
                srs="+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0
                +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgri...@null +no_defs +over"
                
                Then i think this should be the target projection (if i want to 
mix a raster
                image into it).
                
                
                The "blue marble" has lat / lon directly mapped to x / y 
coordinates.
                To my understanding this is similar to WGS84, to add the scaling
                with a "world file" makes sense to me.
                
                Looking at this page  i see a description of projections and 
the use of
                gdalwarp that describes how to get
                
                
http://egb13.net/2009/04/bending-the-earth-gdalwarp-and-the-blue-marble/
                
                
                But in the end, my understanding did not leave to a correctly 
projected
                image...
                
                
                Best regards,
                Torsten.
