[mkgmap-dev] Names and relations (multipolygons)

Sun Jan 25 16:07:38 GMT 2009

Dear all, 

is there a possibility, that the polygons (ways) of a relation
(multipolygon) "inherit" the name tag of the relation? 

Background: Sometimes lakes with islands are mapped in OSM as multipolygon
relation and the name tag of the lake is attached to the relation only, e.g. 

	<relation id="28547">
	  <member type="way" ref="26419086" role="outer"/>  
	  <member type="way" ref="26419094" role="inner"/>  
	  <tag k="name" v="Bagnosee (r)"/>
	  <tag k="type" v="multipolygon"/>
	</relation>

Unfortunately none of the following code lines in my style/relation file worked
with mkgmap revision 848 (the lake never had a name):

	type=multipolygon { apply { add name='${name}' } } 

	type=multipolygon { apply { set name='${name}' } }

	type=multipolygon { apply { name '${name}'  }  }

Any hints wellcome, thanks!

Best regards,

Volker.
