mapnik 0.5.0 (Default branch)

ImageMapnik is a toolkit for developing GISapplications. At the core is a C++ shared libraryproviding algorithms/patterns for spatial dataaccess and visualization. Essentially a collectionof geographic objects (map, layer, datasource,feature, and geometry), the library doesn't relyon "windowing systems" and can be deployed in anyserver environment. It is intended to play fair ina multi-threaded environment and is aimedprimarily, but not exclusively, at Web-baseddevelopment. High-level Python bindings(boost.python) facilitate rapid applicationdevelopment, targeting zope3, django, etc.License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)Changes:
Support was added for native builds on Mac OS X, single/multi-threading variants, gdal rastering, and character encoding. The text label placement functionality was made more comprehensive. A Qt4 based viewer application was added. The internal geometry representation was changed to explicitly support multi-geometries. An optional libxml2 based map loader was added. Image quantization was added. Image "views" are supported. The "memory file" based I/O in the shape input plug-in was improved.Image

NAME
Object::Deadly::_unsafe - Implementation for the deadly object METHODS
"$obj->DESTROY" The DESTROY method doesn't die. This is defined so it won't be AUTOLOADed or fetched from UNIVERSAL. "$obj->isa" "$obj->can" "$obj->version" "$obj->DOES" "$obj->import" "$obj->require" "$obj->use" "$obj->blessed" "$obj->dump" "$obj->peek" "$obj->refaddr" "$obj->exports" "$obj->moniker" "$obj->plural_moniker" "$obj->which" "$obj->AUTOLOAD" Each of AUTOLOAD, a named list of known UNIVERSAL functions and then a query for everything currently known are all implemented with "Object::Deadly->get_death" to prevent anything from sneaking through to a successful call against something in UNIVERSAL. That list of functions are what core perl uses plus a bunch from CPAN modules including UNIVERSAL, UNIVERSAL::require, UNIVERSAL::dump, UNIVERSAL::exports, UNIVERSAL::moniker, UNIVERSAL::which. That's just the list as it exists today. If someone else creates a new one and you load it, be sure to do it *prior* to loading this module so I can have at least a chance at noticing anything it's loaded. SEE ALSO
