Spaetz The script lowzoom_composite.pl was able to merge in the caption layer. It was being used for zooms 8 through 11 and was working very nicely for z8 through z11.
There is a small projection bug in osma which becomes noticeable below z8, so captions were not being included for z0 to z7. Some more info here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tiles%40home/lowzoom I think lowzoom now runs in two passes, z0-z5 and z6-z11. While the projection bug in osmarender is still there, it would be reasonable to merge captions for z6-z11 but not for z0-z5. 80n On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 5:51 AM, spaetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 02:54:22PM -0700, Alan Millar wrote: > > > I believe the pale color is not intentional but just an artifact of the > > current basic scaling, waiting for one of us to fix it :-) > > That sums it upp pretty nicely.
