API · kartograph/kartograph.py Wiki
The Kartograph map generator has just one method, which is there to generate SVG maps (surprise). All parameters are passed through a single config dictionary which is described in detail in this wiki page. The benefit of having a single dictionary is that it's easy to store map descriptions in JSON or YAML files.
Technical Details
The core concept of Kartograph is to separate the mapping process in the map generation and map rendering part. The client-side library kartograph.js renders pre-generated maps stored in SVG files. You can chose among hundrets of ready-to-use maps or simply generate your own using kartograph.py, the open source Python SVG map generator.
Kartograph – rethink mapping
Kartograph is a new framework for building interactive map applications without Google Maps or any other mapping service. It was created with the needs of designers and data journalists in mind.

World map tool
simple tool for “remixing” a public domain world map available via Wikimedia (a Robinson projection in vector graphic format that shows all U.N. member states). After this map was chosen for use in a university web project, we had a need to refactor it in various ways. This script automates most of the operations that we require.

Reinventing Fire » Blog Archive » The Map is not Proprietary
have a very simple set of basic maps, with low-to-medium level of detail, all with the same projection, and to provide a Javascript utility that converts back and forth between long/lat and the coordinate space of the image. There would be one world map, and a map for each country, and a map for each major region within each country (in the US, this would be states).

MapOSMatic
MapOSMatic est un service Web en Logiciel Libre qui vous permet de générer des cartes de villes en utilisant les données OpenStreetMap. La carte d'une ville est constituée de deux pages :
* la carte elle-même, découpée en carrés pour faciliter la recherche de rues ;
* un index des rues référencées selon les carrés de la carte.
Les cartes générées sont disponibles aux formats PNG, PDF et SVG et sont prêtes à être imprimées.
Les données utilisées pour la génération des cartes provenant d'OpenStreetMap, vous pouvez librement réutiliser, vendre, modifier, ... les cartes générées (en respectant la licence OpenStreetMap).

combined them into a single stand-alone web application. Indieprojector lets you load multiple SHP or KML files, reproject them to one of 11 geographic projections and export them to SVG for use in a vector graphics editing program.
[this is aaronland] painting the bike shed in yak hair
a Very Good Thing because XSL-FO is designed to embed SVG which suddenly means that generating printed maps, whether it's using something like Cloudmade's decidely alpha SVG tiles or simply baking SVG maps using Mapnik, is actually well... possible enough to be considered easy.
