If you were working in an SVG frame work you could rotate the whole image then apply a reverse rotation limited to just the labels after the map was rendered. I also think that there is a osmarender 'parameter' which can set the rotation on each element, so you could set this prior to rendering in your rules file. You can use osmosis to cut a bounding polygon out of OSM data, this might help you limit the plot to that of a rotated rectangle (or other shape). http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmosis/DetailedUsage#--bounding-polygon_.28--bp.29 You don't say what the required graphic format is (SVG, PNG, tiles, etc). Does osmarender provided suitable output for you? Simon. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
