Hi.
I wrote a render script that (similar to the compositing that hike&bike map does) does things that mapnik is not capable of.
My script is written in python and can render bboxes into arbitrarily sized images, as well is able to serve tiles (e.g. http:localhost/bla.../12/345/678.png)
However it is probably the utmost slow renderer there is, it takes about 3 minutes for a simple tile. (Which is ok, because it's experimental only at the time. :))
How can I make renderd (or tirex, or tilecache) call that script, I found no documentation on that. I want to create metatiles of course, too, because I have a thin lines of garbage at the tile boundaries.
Can you please give me a hint/link on how/where to start?
Thanks a lot, Kay

If aou're asking fow to do it in general, you should better ask at the dev list. On The Toolserver I don't think it's possible now.
If we used tirex you could write your own render backend (there are examples on the svn) but as we're using renderd I don't think this is possible without source code modifications.

Ok thanks. Do you know how hike&bike is doing this currently?

No, but the renderd config and also the hikebike-style-file is world-readable:
/home/project/o/s/m/osm/renderd/etc/renderd.conf /home/cmarqu/hikebike_hstore.xml

As far I know runs hike&bike with cascadenik as mapnik-preprocessor: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cascadenik So it is simple mapnik. Or do you mean a special feature?

I was mixing it up with (finally found it again) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TopOSM/Details
But reading the last line of that page, it seems that User:Ahlzen also has no pratical solution to make renderd talk to his own script rather than mapnik.
