Tangram Paparazzi

Repurposed version of Tangram-ES to take pictures of maps (static maps). Designed to run on servers in a reliable, multi-thread and headless fashonable way.

Although most of the worse power comes from ZeroMQ, is thanks to the impressive work of Kevin Kreiser in prime_server that all that power is rightly and effectivelly channeled into a easy to use library. Thanks Kevin Kreiser!

This project currently compiles in Amazon GPU Server, Rasbian, Ubuntu and Darwin OSX.
