Artefacts when rendering closed ways in Vector maps
If a way (highway, aeroway etc) is a closed loop, and overlaps a tile
boundary, spurious vertical and/or horizontal lines appear. I reported this on the forum, but didn't get the right topic. See http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=3698.msg27520#msg27520 and
I made a suggestion:
- Where the polygon is closed and has no fill (as with a highway, where we
just want to draw the line of the path), is it possible to render it as
if it was not closed?
And Voldapet responded in http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=3698.msg27569#msg27569
- I wanted to answer NO, but I realized that we can use parameter
force-polygon-line="true" during generation. We use it for
contour-lines, that are by definition closed, However we've never used
it for highways (are not so often closed as ring), but it could work.
This occurs with Lotus maps and built-in themes as well as OpenAndromaps and other themes at zooms 12, 13 and 14 wherever a highway is mapped as a closed loop.
Would this be an appropriate solution to this real life problem?
