| 18 | == Overview == |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Correct rendering of road networks requires ordering. Major roads should be rendered |
| 21 | over the top of minor roads. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | == Motivation == |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Currently MapGuide Studio exposes the ability to order individual styles within a layer, |
| 26 | however, the server doesn't support ordered rendering. The only work around currently |
| 27 | is to break road networks into separate layers. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | == Proposed Solution == |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Add support to the rendering engine to render layer styles in ordered passes. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | This should only require changes to the rendering engine, there would be no |
| 34 | xml schema schema changes required |
