Mapnik
Sign in to saveMapnik is an open-source mapping toolkit for desktop and server based map rendering, written in C++. Artem Pavlenko, the original developer of Mapnik, set out with the explicit goal of creating beautiful maps by employing the sub-pixel anti-aliasing of the Anti-Grain Geometry (AGG) library. Mapnik now also has a Cairo rendering backend. For handling common software tasks such as memory management, file system access, regular expressions, and XML parsing, Mapnik utilizes the Boost C++ libraries. An XML file can be used to define a collection of mapping objects that determine the appearance of a

Mapnik是一個开放源代码的地图学工具集，提供基於客戶端與伺服器端的地圖渲染使用，以C++撰寫。Mapnik的原始開發者，Artem Pavlenko將目標明確設定為透過使用子像素反鋸齒功能來建立美麗的地圖。Mapnik現在也有Cairo渲染後端。Mapnik使用Boost C++ Libraries來處理如記憶體管理、存取文件系统、正規表達式與解析XML等的一般軟體工作。地圖的外觀可以使用XML檔案來定義，也可以透過C++、Python與Node.js等程式語言來建構。
