[OSM-talk] Text in areas with Osmarender

[Robert Hart]

Ahoy,
 
Some idea yes. Basically you'd want to find the bounding box of the area
then render the text at the middle of that. I'll look into it. 

I've been working on automatically generating A-Z style indexes with
grid-references in osmarender. It sort of works, but I've basically
discovered that the philosophy behind xslt is "Make simple things hard, make
hard things virtually impossible". Or maybe even "Make simple things
virtually impossible, make anything that the xslt designers didn't
anticipate impossible"

Ahoy,

I'd like to render a label, centred inside certain areas. For example:
- Labels like "Playing fields" and "Cemetery" and "Allotments"
- Names of buildings, parks, woods, etc.

I've no idea how to achieve this, the limit of my Osmarender fiddling
has been 
new symbols and small tweaks. Does anybody have any bright ideas?

Regards,
Tom
