<body>Frederick:<br>
thanks for your feedback. <br>
I assumed this by the size of the files, however I had no time yet to look into details.<br>
<br>
One further question: What coordinates did you choose for your maps? Is it identical across your maps? What is the size of one hexagon in those coordinates. Have you already started to create single tiles for reuse? I am keen on replacing the existing tile creation process by a simpler one.<br>
<br>
Most likely you can guess where I am hinting at, but I will give more details on Sunday. <br>
<br>
Great work, <br>
Stefan<br>

Stefan:
<div>
I use Inkscape for creating/editing the vector maps. They are stored in svg format. I couldn't imagine any other combination which would fit our needs here in a better manner.
</div>
<div>
<br/>
</div>
<div>
SVG files are verbose but their size gets shrunk by compression to 10-15% of the original size. My maps are <100k when compressed. Hence, I do not think this is a real issue.
</div>
<div>
<br/>
</div>
<div>
However, the situation is different for converted maps (in rails, e.g, 18EU, 18AL). They include a lot of superfluous paths (including paths instead of text) and get bloated and slow to draw as a result. That (and copyright considerations) is why I always build my maps from the scratch.
</div>
<div>
<br/>
</div>
<div>
The svg lib could be exchanged, of course. But as a prerequisite, the new lib should be regression-free with respect to exiting background maps.

we could do that later on. Most people now know that rails_2_develop is<br/>
the (default) branch for rails 2.<br/>
<br/>
My (future) release strategy is based on<br/>
<br/>
<a href="http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/" target="_blank">http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/</a><br/>
<br/>
However I still consider moving the git repo (only the repo, not the<br/>
other parts) to github, then this will happen with the official rails<br/>
2.0 release.<br/>
<br/>
I am looking forward to seeing more maps from you.<br/>
<br/>
One question: In which format and tools do you create your maps?<br/>
<br/>
Most likely you will know that I intend to replace the Batik lib soon.<br/>
However which long-run strategy to choose how display maps/tiles for Rails.<br/>
<br/>
In the short-run I will simply replace Batik by a more light-weight SVG<br/>
library, but I am open to recommendations.<br/>
