UTFGrid support

Open gravitystorm opened this issue 12 years ago • 2 comments

It would be great to support UTFGrid generation using renderd and mod_tile.

https://github.com/mapbox/utfgrid-spec

An example UTFGrid-enabled mapnik xml file is at https://gist.github.com/gravitystorm/5824793

I'd suggest that it's a per-layer option to also generate the UTFGrid at the same time as the png (or other raster) output, and expire them as a pair. However, I can see there being some (rare) usecases where you may wish to generate UTFGrids without a corresponding png output.

note while the grid_renderer in Mapnik is available in C++ the actual encoding to json with utf8 characters is currently done in python/node.js and still needs a pure C++ api: https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/issues/1197

Issue #58 is a duplicate of this.
