  Description     : Vector tiles integration with mapnik - development files

This package provides C++ header and source needed to render geodata
into vector tiles, and vector tiles into images.
.
Tiles are encoded as protobuf messages, and that geodata format can be
used as a drop-in replacement for mapnik datasources like postgis and
shapefiles, without compromising on speed.
.
Mapnik is a C++/Python toolkit for developing GIS applications.
