[mkgmap-dev] A few thoughts on non-rectangular tiles

Fri Dec 19 13:55:27 GMT 2014

Hi Andrzej,

as I wrote before I see no need to change splitter.
Even if we would be able to store and calculate the exact shape of
each element within splitter, we would have to write 
data outside of the polygon so that ways etc. are complete.
So, the only improvement would be a reduction of file sizes.
On the other hand, we will still need the same routines in 
mkgmap, as it should be able to process data that was not
written by splitter.
