New MapRender version 0.7 released

The new MapRender 0.7 version is released and comes with these new features:

  • New Renderer to create a Schummerung based on the angle of a slopes. It is mainly useful in combination with the high resolution height data from the Landesamt für Geoinformation und Landentwicklung Baden-Württemberg (LGLBW).
  • New feature for the height color renderer: up until now it was only possible to represent the absolute height of a pixel by applying a given color range. Now it is also possible to represent the relative height compared to the surroundings of the pixel. Both new renderers can be combined to show highly detailed ground features that would otherwise be hidden.

    As an overlay over a default rendering of the OSM-data this significantly enriches the map compared to the standard version of the map:
  • Improved the performance of the renderer in the job- and zoomlevel-transition phase.
  • Several Bugfixes
