History

Artem Pavlenko e016bd61f8 Added transcoder based on iconv. Internally we use UCS-2 at the moment.

* Postgis plug-in determines encoding by querying 'client_encoding' parameter (libpq). 
 * Shapfiles (dbf!) don't store character encoding information. Users can apply 'encoding' parameter at datasource creation stage (defaults to Latin1 (ISO-8859-1))
 * Raster plug-in utf-8

# $Id$

This directory contains a sample python script implementing the Mapnik API.

The script is thoroughly commented and also acts as a mini tutorial.  Reading
it should get you on your way, and you can use it as a base for your work.

You must compile and install mapnik and the python bindings FIRST.

Once this is done, run it:

/path/to/python rundemo.py

If all goes well, it should render 2 map images:

demo.png

Have a look!

Cheers,
