   One of the two big things I am working on for my day job is a new Swift SVG parser and renderer.

   We found problems with all existing SVG Swift renderer libraries that proved somewhat intractable.

   Tonight I stumbled upon a SVG map of Middle Earth in the 3rd age and I just had to see how my renderer worked with it.

   This is a screenshot from my test app and even though the text is borked (expected, text isn't something I've been focused on) I'm really fucking proud of how good this looks.
