Experiments With Map Rendering

These are some experiments with new ways of writing map renderers and their configuration.

These programs are not meant to be finished in any way, they might solve some problems and totally ignore others. They are helping me exploring the problem and solution space from different directions.

For some more background see this blog post: http://blog.jochentopf.com/2011-03-22-new-approaches-for-map-rendering.html

To execute this code you'll need the GeoRuby and GD ruby gems.

There is some test data in the 'data' directory. Everything you need for the renderers is in there already. If you want to create some different test data you'll need 'osmjs' from the Osmium package.
