I received this request a long time ago and it was finally time to implement it:

Maperitive scaling

So what’s so special with this map? Maperitive offers the export-bitmap command, which basically exports the currently visible map portion to a bitmap file. What’s new is that you can set a higher (> 1) scale for the export:

export-bitmap scale=3

which will produce a bitmap with higher resolution, but with the rendering rules applied to the original zoom level. This can be useful for printing maps in higher quality.

In future I plan to introduce a SVG export command, which will make map post-processing even easier.
