title: Java: How to export an openstreetmap area to an image file?
body: <p>I am searching now for a longer time without any success. Currently I am searching for a solution in Java for exporting or printing an open street map area based on a lat and long.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any Java API / Framework which I can use to convert an area of an OSM map to a PNG, PDF, JPEG or whatever, so that I am able to print it afterwards?</p>
  
  <p>Openstreetmaps is for example offering an export service, which fits to my needs, but I would like to be more flexible.</p>
