[OSM-dev] mod_tile in other projections? (2018)

[Eduardo Ramalho]

Hi!

Does mod_tile/renderd/mapnik support generating tiles for other projections ?

I successful built a local OSM tile server, from web instructions
(based on mapnik+renderd+mod_tile). I can see the result on a browser
with leaflet.

Now I am trying to only show a country (Portugal)
with its specific projection EPSG:3763.

I changed the "mapnik.xml" to have my target "srs" and specific
cartesian bounds, also changed renderd.conf to have aspectx=1 and
aspecty=2,
and finally removed all cached tiles.

When I check the request url for /0/0/0.png I get a world view bitmap
(but very distorced).
I was expecting to get only the half north of Portugal on zoom level 0.

I found an old post (2013) on this subject "mod_tile in other projections".
I interpreted that it was possible to have tiles on different
projections, but we had to edit source code.

Does anyone knows if is still the case ?
