MapPDF - Ruby map PDF renderer
==============================
This is an experimental PDF renderer from MapCSS stylesheets.
== Dependencies ==
* Jochen Topf's OSMlib (http://osmlib.rubyforge.org/)
* Prawn (http://prawn.majesticseacreature.com/)
* Ruby MapCSS parser (https://github.com/systemed/mapcss_ruby)
* RQuad (https://github.com/iterationlabs/rquad)
NOTE: current Prawn will not work perfectly. You need a slight patch to lib/prawn/images.rb - see comments in lib/pdf_renderer/point_item.rb. You'll still get a map without this patch, but the icons will be offset.
== How to use ==
See pdf_test.rb. In short:
1. (OSMlib) Read your OSM data into a database
2. (mapcss_ruby) Create a 'parent objects' dictionary
3. (mapcss_ruby) Read the MapCSS file into a RuleSet
4. (mappdf_ruby) Create a MapSpec with the bounding box and map area parameters
5. (Prawn) Create a PDF
6. (mappdf_ruby) Tell the MapSpec to draw onto it
== To do ==
* Better text offset
== Not currently supported ==
* Dash decoration (arrows etc.)
* Underline
== Licence and author ==
