mapnik-render(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the mapnik-render manual page (that's the mapnik-render(1) one, iykyk) and it's literally all about rendering Mapnik maps right from your command line 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

mapnik-render [options]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so mapnik-render is a third-party program that lets you super easily generate mapnik graphics from either Mapnik xml or Cascadenik mml. no cap.

• 🎀 No python coding is required — you literally just need a working Mapnik installation and an XML mapfile. that's it bestie.
• 🦋 mapnik-render has a whole variety of options that make it a genuinely useful mapfile debugger.
• 🌸 Using mapnik-render is an easy way to test and develop your xml mapfiles before you launch them on a server.
• ✨ mapnik-render should automatically open the rendered map once it's completed. main character behaviour fr fr.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -h, --help — produce usage message (your lil "what do I do" moment 🫶)
• -V, --version — print version string
• -v, --verbose — verbose output, so it tells you everything it's doing
• --open — automatically open the file after rendering — os x only tho, sorry linux girlies 😭
• --xml file — xml map to read
• --img file — image to render
• --scale-factor number — scale factor for rendering
• --variables — make map parameters available as render-time variables

💀 heads up: --open is os x only. do not come for me, I'm just the messenger 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this version dropped on 10 July 2015, and it's the mapnik-render(1) page from the mapnik-render manual — so yeah, go render something iconic, periodt 💜🌈⭐
