*Nik2img* is a _third-party_ program that allows you to easily generate mapnik graphics from Mapnik xml or Cascadenik mml.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* No python coding is required, only a working Mapnik installation and an XML mapfile.
|
|
|
|
* *Nik2img* has a variety of options that make it a useful mapfile debugger.
|
|
|
|
* Using *Nik2img* is an easy way to test and develop your xml mapfiles before launching on a server.
|
|
|
|
* *Nik2img* should automatically open the rendered map once completed.
|
|
|
|
* Like Mapnik, it should run on both Mac, Linux, and Windows
