Support overlays like the ones you can create from the CartoDB editor (title, lon/lat annotation, anchored text item, anchored image) so it is possible to generate static images with them on top of the map.
- markdown or html support?
- only available for static images?
- basic font rendering + metrics
- transpiler: markdown/html to components
- plug it into coordinate system, cut for several tiles
- hard to implement
- easy to integrate as another renderer
- text rendering supported, check how much of it
- transpiler: markdown/html to components
- probably a lot of issues with spacing and text metrics already solved
- plug it into coordinate system, cut for several tiles
- hard to implement
- easy to integrate, it should be as it is still canvas
- fake inline geojson data + font styling (so it does not require db conn)
- limited in styling
- no effort to integrate it in tiles
- easy to integrate
- easy to implement
- best rendering support, straight away: it's a headless webkit
- plug it into coordinate system, cut for several tiles
- probably it makes sense to be a separate service (not ideal) that only returns images for test+style, because I'm against introducing phantom overhead in windshaft
- easy to implement
- hard to integrate
- leverage font rendering to a more powerful approach: like phantomjs
- use mapnik to get images as marker files into the appropriate tiles
- hard to implement, it requires implementing two components
- hard to integrate, images must be managed/cached (integrate with grainstore?)
- really difficult to run server side: no support for nodejs
- easy to implement?
- hard to integrate
