Küstenlinien mit Mapnik

Betrifft Kapitel 10.2, Seite 112, sowie auch Farbtafel 13.

Der Mapnik-Tileserver verwendet jetzt auf den Zoomstufen 10-18 Shapefiles für Wasserflächen und kann dadurch die Meere ausgefüllt zeichnen. Die Shapefiles werden aus den in OpenStreetMap gespeicherten Küstenlinien (natural=coastline) erzeugt.
