	Desktop Mapping App by Adam-44 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I need to make a desktop GUI that renders a ShapeFile map with thematic mapped data points where you can pan and zoom. All I know is Perl without any GUI background. What language and GUI toolkit is recommended to use with Mapnik to make something like this? Is there a tutorial that covers this? I haven't been able to find one anywhere. _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list Mapnik-users@... https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users

You might find the combination of the Desktop GIS QGIS (Quantum GIS) and a plugin for it, "Quantumnik" interesting: http://bitbucket.org/springmeyer/quantumnik/wiki/Home As far as I know, the Plugin allows to use Mapnik as a rendering engine inside QGIS (with its zomming and panning features). It has some more capabilities, of course, but these seem to be what you are looking for. QGIS is scriptable e.g. using python, if you need it.

Python or C++ and the QT toolkit from Trolltech/Nokia would be my recommendation. > Is there a tutorial that covers this? No. This is not trivial. > I haven't > been able to find one anywhere. > > _______________________________________________ > Mapnik-users mailing list > Mapnik-users@... > https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list Mapnik-users@... https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
