Hi
Finally, I found some time to set up a base layer in greyscale. I did this by automatically converting the original mapnik style and all icons.
Nice one. Could be very helpful for overlays of all kind.
There are some caveats: the style is named osm.xml and refers to ./inc and ./style which contain different (i.e. b&w files) than the original mapnik. I don't know if this is incompatible to the way all the layers are bound into Tirex, please tell me so.
No problem. The style needs to be in a single directory with all includes and icons being a) inside this folder b) symlinks to a folder in the osm-project-homedir
The style can be found here (on willow): /home/kayd/workspace/parking/mapnik/bw-mapnik
I copied the style into the p_osm repo and added it to the tirex setup. I added osm-bw.xml. Do you need the other styles as well?
I'd very much like to see it included as a base layer here: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/
I added it there: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=2&lat=54.36776&lon=9.84375&layers=0000F0FF0000F0FFFFB
z0-6 have been added to the background queue and they're rendered right now.
I'd like to hear about your opinion: would you rather like a b&w base layer that's identical to current mapnik, or should it omit most of the icons (shops, etc.)? Or is both needed?
If there is a need for a bw-style without icons, we could add them, too.
