[13:28:43] <wboykinm> tokumine: This is getting a bit down the PostGIS rabbit hole, but is it possible to make a call to the SQL API that:
[13:28:51] <wboykinm> tokumine: 1.) selects a single polygon feature
[13:29:02] <wboykinm> 2.) buffers out from that feature by x distance
[13:29:25] <wboykinm> 3.) "Differences" the buffer and the feature
[13:29:47] <wboykinm> 4.) returns the geometry of the buffer outside the feature
[13:29:48] <wboykinm> ?
[13:31:13] <wboykinm> tokumine: i.e. the API call would return this sort of geometry: http://flic.kr/p/d9umR3
[14:09:15] <wboykinm> tokumine: A better way of phrasing the above:
[14:09:42] <wboykinm> tokumine: Does the SQL API support using both ST_Buffer() and ST_Difference() in one call?
[15:14:16] <strk> yes :)

Since the ancient days - well, since late 1993 or so - production cartographers have been been stuck in an awkward technical limbo between GIS and art. <a href="http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/gis/manual/illustrator/index.htm" target="_blank">Two platforms</a> were required to get a map from vector geoprocessing to publication-quality graphics: Mostly ESRI's ArcGIS for the former and mostly Adobe's Creative Suite for the latter. Sure the two tried to overlap each other as time went on ("Seven hours to export a 900dpi TIFF and I can still see the pixels? Thanks ArcMap!"), but the basic math was tough to overcome: with finite memory on a workstation, ArcGIS focuses its resources on geoprocessing at the expense of the graphic outputs, and vice-versa.<br />
<br />
This was the way of it when I started mapping. And the classic example of "You can't do that in GIS" is the buffalo tint <a href="http://maps.nationalgeographic.com/maps/print-collection/sagarmatha-national-park-map.html" target="_blank">popularized and used
