Mapnik is a Free Toolkit for developing mapping applications. It's
|
|
written in C++ and there are Python bindings to facilitate fast-paced
|
|
agile development. It can comfortably be used for both desktop and web
|
|
development, which was something wanted from the beginning.
|
|
|
|
Mapnik is about making beautiful maps. It uses the AGG library and
|
|
offers world class anti-aliasing rendering with subpixel accuracy for
|
|
geographic data. It is written from scratch in modern C++ and doesn't
|
|
suffer from design decisions made a decade ago. When it comes to
|
|
handling common software tasks such as memory management, filesystem
|
|
access, regular expressions, parsing and so on, Mapnik doesn't re-invent
|
|
the wheel, but utilizes best of breed industry standard libraries from
|
|
boost.org.
