21:22:17 <cmarqu> springmeyer: That certainly a nice glow effect, yes. Could use that for my "by night" overlay. This is my biggest halo: http://cassini.toolserver.org/tiles/hikebike/13/4427/2751.png - not sure it would fade out as nicely if it was wider
21:22:43 <springmeyer> hey cmarqu :) thx for the email
21:22:45 <cmarqu> (http://ecn.t7.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/r02123002133.png?g=401&mkt=en-us&shading=hill&n=z is what I'm talking about)
21:22:53 <springmeyer> yes, great
21:22:54 <cmarqu> :)
21:23:05 * springmeyer looking at your glow..
21:23:42 <springmeyer> yes, good example
21:23:48 <springmeyer> bigger, and looks good
21:24:04 <cmarqu> It seems to fade out a bit, but rather rapidly
21:24:04 <springmeyer> but does not fade as much when that big
21:24:10 <springmeyer> yes
21:24:17 <springmeyer> exactly what I was wondering about
21:24:19 *** rcoup (n=rcoup@131.203.102.171) has joined #mapnik
21:24:32 <cmarqu> We need a gamma setting for that :)
21:24:41 <springmeyer> :)
21:25:35 <cmarqu> If we had such a halo for a PointSymbolizer, we could map the single street lamps with a wide halo and blend them over like it is in reality
21:26:14 <springmeyer> nice
21:26:27 * springmeyer notices the css syntax of 'text-shadow: 2ex 0px'
21:27:05 <cmarqu> In MapCSS?
21:27:08 <springmeyer> er text-shadow: 2ex 0px 4ex;
21:27:13 <springmeyer> no, actual css
21:27:22 <cmarqu> Ah
21:27:38 <springmeyer> it goes text-shadow: xsize ysize blursize;
21:28:21 <springmeyer> so I guess its the "blur" that we are considering
21:29:41 <cmarqu> Apparently text-shadow didn't make it into CSS 2.1
21:30:25 <cmarqu> It was even stackable like in text-shadow:black 0 0 5px, red 5px 5px 3px;
21:32:05 <cmarqu> NSFW: http://www.phase-5.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/xplicit_css-text-shadow.jpg
21:32:34 <springmeyer> lol
21:39:08 <springmeyer> "Blur" from http://aggpas.org/aggpas-demo.htm looks quite promising
21:42:43 <Ldp__> cmarqu: wrt streetlights, you can do that quite easily with a png with a circular gradient in it
21:44:48 <cmarqu> Ldp__: Yeah, I suppose so, but since it's just for fun, I cannot motivate myself to do that
21:47:39 <Ldp__> aw, where would we be if it weren't for people doing fun things and finding something really interesting while doing that?
21:50:48 <cmarqu> But figuring out what looks best takes a long time, and the GIMP hates me!
21:52:27 <Ldp__> git hates me, and still I use it
21:52:39 <Ldp__> cmarqu: try Inkscape
21:53:57 <cmarqu> Indeed, that would work. I was once the German translator for it
21:54:13 <cmarqu> Still, not today
