Mapnik renders multipolygons exactly the same way as it renders simple polygons, so all tags will work. JOSM renders any area tags on multipolygons. Potlatch 1 doesn't render areas on multipolygons, but it does highlight a way in blue when it's a member of a multipolygon. Potlatch 2 doesn't give have any visual cues that I've seen for multipolygons. > > I think I agree with your earlier point that mp's are better than > colinear ways, but colinear ways are still better than parallel ways > for areas that do actually touch. Absolutely, it at least makes it something we can fix by clicking a button someday :). > Steve _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
