1. CONNECT. TRANSFORM. AUTOMATE.
FME's MapnikRasterizer Makes
Happy Cartographers

2. Yes, we could make nice rasters before…
However, we had to use A LOT of transformers:

3. MapnikRasterizer – a Game Changer
A better map with less transformers

4. A few details about MapnikRasterizer
 Based on Mapnik, open source mapping toolkit
 No need to know Python, C++, CSS, or even XML!
 Set styles with “Symbolizers”
 Functionality includes:
 multiple layers per feature
 raster patterns
 labelling engine
 compositing operation
 The quality of output rasters is better than ever
before (sub-pixel anti-aliasing)

5. MapnikRasterizer GUI
 Dynamic input ports
 10 Symbolizers
 Multiple layers and
symbolizers per feature
type
 Different settings for
each symbolizer

6. Simple Example
 A single feature can be stylized with multiple
symbolizers:
Source 2 Symbolizers 5 Symbolizers

7. Vancouver Streets Example
 Compound line styles
 External style definitions
 Mapnik Labelling engine

8. 2.5D with Building Symbolizers
 Pseudo 3D effect
 Not only buildings:
any polygons and
even stroked texts
look great, too!

9. Comp-op (Compositing operations)
 Define how layers interact
 Serve for masking
or blending
 Very cool functionality
to play with 
