Custom schemes

[mfbehrens]

Hello, is there a specific reason why there is no parameter to set a scheme path. I would suggest to use --scheme <path>. Default path would be the default scheme. Any problems with that?

No problems at all, I should definitely add this option.

The scheme format however is still under development and not documented. If you want to create custom scheme, please feel free to ask questions.

Definitively, do not really understand it. Just tried an empty scheme and I failed. I only added the color definition from the default scheme in what made the program work. However, there are still a lot of objects on the map. Shouldn't an empty scheme result in an empty map?

This is indeed a bug. Totally empty scheme file should work. I'll fix it.

Hmm... Looks like very legal assumption.

Honestly, I never thought about such a use case. Map Machine just tries to render everything no matter how and this behavior isn't manageable through scheme file.

Still throws an error message :(

Hm, seems like YAML failed to load the file. Could you please dump the content of map_machine/scheme/empty.yml?

Update: oh, I see, it is just totally empty, which is presumably a valid YAML file. I'll check this.
