[OSM-newbies] osmrenderer shows coastline land/ocean inversion, regardless of way direction

[David Groom]

Not so much a bug, but I believe this is something which if difficult for Osmarender to deal with.

effectively you have a circle (OK the island may not be a circle but you get my drift), and you want everything outside of it to be blue, but I'm not aware of any SVG to do such a thing.

I think the solution is in JOSM draw a big square round the island and tag it as natural = coastline, and then change the real coastline tags to natural = land

  Hi All,

  I've used JOSM to download an area of interest, which is an island, and then generated an SVG file from the downloaded data.
  Although the island is rendered fine on www.openstreetmap.org maps, the ocean/land is inverted on my render.
  i.e. land is filled blue (ocean) and the ocean is filled white (land).

  I am aware that land should be on the left, and this is the case in JOSM.
  Reversing the way direction doesn't correct the problem.

  Have I found a osmrenderer bug?
  Probably not, but what else could be the problem?

  Regards,
  Craig
