Atlas Rendering

I finally got around to doing something I'd intended from the start - Atlas-scale rendering.

The styles at the various scales are roughly:
  • 2 px/pc - Imperium poster
  • 4 px/pc - Large scale dotmap
  • 8 px/pc - Domains
  • 16 px/pc - Sectors / Travellers' Digest-style route maps
  • 32 px/pc - Atlas of the Imperium-style
  • 64 px/pc - Supplement-style (Spinward Marches poster, specifically)

Before today I simply had world glyphs (belt/water/no water) and HiPop names for 32 px/pc. Now it renders: starports, bases, gas giants and allegiances. This scale suddenly becomes much more attractive to work with.
