Kosmos v1.8 – new rendering features
Well, after substantial rework on the rendering code, the new version of Kosmos is here. Highlights:
- It is now possible to add more than one template for a rendering rule. So you no longer need separate rendering rules for a restaurant icon and the restaurant’s name, for example.
- Text template has a new property: TextLineOffset, which specifies the line offset of the text as a percentage of the text size. Negative offset means moving the text down from the original node’s position. This only works if you use TextMode=Node. I will add similar feature for other text modes in the future.
- Symbol template can now be used for ways or areas too. It will draw the specified symbol along the way using a specified Density.
- Some minor bugfixing.

I will update the Kosmos pages on the OSM Wiki shortly.

[...] Kosmos now understands OSM relations: in this version, relations support is limited to examining multipolygon relations and knowing how to draw polygons with holes. [...]
