Making Maps from OpenStreetMap Data

2014-05-27T14:53:42Z

HTan: /* Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data */

See also [[OSM]], [[OpenStreetMap-Daten zu Karten aufbereiten]] (german) '''>> NOTE: This is work in progress... <<'''

== Overview ==

This is a handbook - a how to/knowhow page - about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.

If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others (see gallery).

If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.

See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at the official OSM Wiki.

NOTE: ''This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).''

== Map Gallery ==

Here are some available maps (map styles) based on OSM data and the database schema (explained below):

== Cookbook ==

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

Workflow:
* Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.
* The workflow consists of following steps:
** Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
** Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
** Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
** Step 3. Style data.
** Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Rapperswil-Jona

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/
text-fill:#bdaf5a;
text-comp-op: color-burn;
text-size:10;

[zoom > 15] {text-size:13;}
[zoom > 17] {text-size:16;}
[zoom > 19] {text-size:19;}
[zoom > 20] {text-size:22;}

*Changing colours and texture of different elements and styles interaction with [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#compositing_operations Compositing Operations]
**Some popular compositing operations for pirate style map are [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#colorburn colour-burn] and [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#softlight soft-light].
**For a grainy effect, pick a suitable image with noise. An example is shown [http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/2%5B4%5D_8b5da581-bf8b-400b-a0eb-85db42768559.jpg here]
**You can choose any other types of texture you wish to put on the background (or buildings) on your map by selecting a suitable image.

polygon-pattern-file: url(img/noise512.png);
polygon-pattern-comp-op: soft-light;

*Line patterns with images
**Sometimes we want to have different line styles to represent a brown dirty trail or a railway track for example. We first need to have a image file where the size should be rather small - the height of the image will be the width of the line pattern and the width of the image will be repeated along the length of the line.

line-pattern-file:url(img/brownline.png);

*Icons on POIs are important to make the map more interactive and detailed aesthetically.

[type = "restaurant"]{
marker-file:url(img/restaurant.png);
marker-width:40;
[zoom = 22]{marker-width:80;}
[zoom = 20]{marker-width:20;}
}

Sources:
* CartoCSS and [[TileMill]]
* Ready made icons: [[Symbolkatalog]]

=== Step 4. Publish map ===
* On paper or on the web
* See e.g. [[TileMill]] or [[Geovisualisierung]]

== Database Schema ==

Table names and name rules (schema) of OSM data source:
* osm_points
* osm_lines
* osm_polygons
* osm_roads, osm_roads_gen0, ...
* osm_pois
* osm_boundaries (osm_boundaries_gen0, osm_boundaries_gen1, ...)

Table names follow the schema "<prefix>_<name>_<postfix>" e.g. for zoom levels:
* 0-10 => <name>_gen0
* 11-14 => <name>_gen1
* >= 12 => <name>

Auxiliary data source:
* Boundaries
* Terrain

See also [[OSM]], [[OpenStreetMap-Daten zu Karten aufbereiten]] (german) '''>> NOTE: This is work in progress... <<'''

== Overview ==

This is a handbook - a how to/knowhow page - about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.

If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others (see gallery).

If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.

See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at the official OSM Wiki.

NOTE: ''This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).''

== Map Gallery ==

Here are some available maps (map styles) based on OSM data and the database schema (explained below):

== Cookbook ==

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

Workflow:
* Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.
* The workflow consists of following steps:
** Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
** Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
** Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
** Step 3. Style data.
** Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Rapperswil-Jona

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/
text-fill:#bdaf5a;
text-comp-op: color-burn;
text-size:10;

[zoom > 15] {text-size:13;}
[zoom > 17] {text-size:16;}
[zoom > 19] {text-size:19;}
[zoom > 20] {text-size:22;}

*Changing colours and texture of different elements and styles interaction with [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#compositing_operations Compositing Operations]

**For a grainy effect, pick a suitable image with noise. An example is shown [http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/2%5B4%5D_8b5da581-bf8b-400b-a0eb-85db42768559.jpg here]

* Ready made icons: [[Symbolkatalog]]

=== Step 4. Publish map ===
* On paper or on the web
* See e.g. [[TileMill]] or [[Geovisualisierung]]

* osm_pois
* osm_boundaries (osm_boundaries_gen0, osm_boundaries_gen1, ...)

Table names follow the schema "<prefix>_<name>_<postfix>" e.g. for zoom levels:
* 0-10 => <name>_gen0
* 11-14 => <name>_gen1
* >= 12 => <name>

Auxiliary data source:

Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others (see gallery).

If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.

See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at the official OSM Wiki.

NOTE: ''This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).''

== Map Gallery ==

Here are some available maps (map styles) based on OSM data and the database schema (explained below):

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

Workflow:
* Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.
* The workflow consists of following steps:
** Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
** Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
** Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
** Step 3. Style data.
** Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Rapperswil-Jona

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/
text-fill:#bdaf5a;
text-comp-op: color-burn;
text-size:10;

[zoom > 15] {text-size:13;}
[zoom > 17] {text-size:16;}
[zoom > 19] {text-size:19;}
[zoom > 20] {text-size:22;}

*Changing colours and texture of different elements and styles interaction with [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#compositing_operations Compositing Operations]
**Some popular compositing operations for pirate style map are [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#colorburn colour-burn] and [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#softlight soft-light].
**For a grainy effect, pick a suitable image with noise. An example is shown [http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/2%5B4%5D_8b5da581-bf8b-400b-a0eb-85db42768559.jpg here]
**You can choose any other types of texture you wish to put on the background (or buildings) on your map by selecting a suitable image.

polygon-pattern-file: url(img/noise512.png);
polygon-pattern-comp-op: soft-light;

*Line patterns with images
**Sometimes we want to have different line styles to represent a brown dirty trail or a railway track for example. We first need to have a image file where the size should be rather small - the height of the image will be the width of the line pattern and the width of the image will be repeated along the length of the line.

line-pattern-file:url(img/brownline.png);

*Icons on POIs are important to make the map more interactive and detailed aesthetically.

[type = "restaurant"]{
marker-file:url(img/restaurant.png);
marker-width:40;
[zoom = 22]{marker-width:80;}
[zoom = 20]{marker-width:20;}
}

Sources:
* CartoCSS and [[TileMill]]
* Ready made icons: [[Symbolkatalog]]

=== Step 4. Publish map ===
* On paper or on the web
* See e.g. [[TileMill]] or [[Geovisualisierung]]

== Database Schema ==

Table names and name rules (schema) of OSM data source:
* osm_points
* osm_lines
* osm_polygons
* osm_roads, osm_roads_gen0, ...
* osm_pois
* osm_boundaries (osm_boundaries_gen0, osm_boundaries_gen1, ...)

Table names follow the schema "<prefix>_<name>_<postfix>" e.g. for zoom levels:
* 0-10 => <name>_gen0
* 11-14 => <name>_gen1
* >= 12 => <name>

Auxiliary data source:
* Boundaries
* Terrain

== FAQ ==

=== What is OpenStreetMap? ===

See [http://wiki.osm.org/ OpenStreetMap (OSM) Wiki]. The [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats#Registered_users statistics] showing the continuous growth of OSM are just stunning.

=== What's a Mapping Party? ===
See [http://wiki.osm.org/Mapping_Party] (Was ist eine Mapping Party? siehe [[Micro Mapping Party Rapperswil]]).

===How to Map an Address?===
*To be a contributor to OpenStreetMap, firstly register to be an OSM user [https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new]
*Addresses can be tagged with addr:housenumber=* and the other addr:* keys. Tags can be added to
**isolated nodes
**nodes that are parts of building polygons ( = entrance=*s )
**building=* polygons
**on polygons representing the perimeter of the site.
*Buildings with multiple house numbers - There is currently no consensus on this but here are some possibilities:
**Create an address node for each housenumber and place each node somewhere on the building outline (or inside the building).
**Separate the numbers by commas (e.g., "11,13,15").
**Specify the range (e.g., "10-95"). This is the preferred method when such a range is officially used for the entire house. You may also use **addr:interpolation=* to describe whether that includes odd, even or all numbers.

=== How to Map a Building? ===

*A single building outline can be created for each building complex or 'block', which may relate to a single detached property, or to a row of individual terraced houses or to some more complex arrangement of properties. It is however better to create a series of linked outlines which share some nodes at the boundary to identify each distinct part of the property.

*Buildings can simply be ''building=yes''

*If the building has an interior courtyard the use a Multipolygon relation to ensure that the courtyard is not rendered as part of the building.
**Please consider adding house numbers nodes to buildings with tags in ''addr:*=*''-Namespace:

''entrance=yes'' (if you know where the entrance is)
''addr:street=*''
''addr:housenumber=*''
''addr:postcode=*''

*See http://wiki.osm.org

=== Why "Micro"...? ===

Micro has two meanings in this context: First, it's about a small party (usually it's about a weekend) - and second, it's about micromapping i.e. capturing of small scale features.

**Separate the numbers by commas (e.g., "11,13,15").
**Specify the range (e.g., "10-95"). This is the preferred method when such a range is officially used for the entire house. You may also use **addr:interpolation=* to describe whether that includes odd, even or all numbers.

=== Why "Micro"...? ===

Micro has two meanings in this context: First, it's about a small party (usually it's about a weekend) - and second, it's about micromapping i.e. capturing of small scale features.

=== How to map a building? ===

*A single building outline can be created for each building complex or 'block', which may relate to a single detached property, or to a row of individual terraced houses or to some more complex arrangement of properties. It is however better to create a series of linked outlines which share some nodes at the boundary to identify each distinct part of the property.

*Buildings can simply be ''building=yes''

*If the building has an interior courtyard the use a Multipolygon relation to ensure that the courtyard is not rendered as part of the building.
**Please consider adding house numbers nodes to buildings with tags in ''addr:*=*''-Namespace:

''entrance=yes'' (if you know where the entrance is)
''addr:street=*''
''addr:housenumber=*''
''addr:postcode=*''

Vintage Maps

2014-05-22T08:28:44Z

HTan:

This page tries to collect information about maps visualized in '''vintage style'''. This means, they look like an old sketchy map, a '''treasure map (de: Schatzkarte)''' or a '''pirate map''' (de: Piratenkarte), but with own or actual data.

Treasure/Pirate Maps:

Making boundaries (like from buildings) to make a hand-made effect.
*A ‘sketchy’ look to lines can be achieved by overlaying a number of line attachments with different smoothing values applied. By smoothing higher values, the lines are overlaid using the ‘multiply’ compositing operation. This make areas that overlap more appear darker.

Point-of-Interests
*For a pirate/vintage map, it is important to have plenty of POIs (like bars/restaurants/gardens) and have an "old fashioned" design icon and style it on the map.

Making Maps from OpenStreetMap Data

2014-05-22T08:27:59Z

HTan: /* Step 3. Style data */

See also [[OSM]], [[OpenStreetMap-Daten zu Karten aufbereiten]] (german) '''>> NOTE: This is work in progress... <<'''

== Overview ==

This is a handbook - a how to/knowhow page - about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.

If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others (see gallery).

If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.

See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at the official OSM Wiki.

NOTE: ''This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).''

== Map Gallery ==

Here are some available maps (map styles) based on OSM data and the database schema (explained below):

== Cookbook ==

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

Workflow:
* Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.
* The workflow consists of following steps:
** Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
** Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
** Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
** Step 3. Style data.
** Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Rapperswil-Jona

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/
text-fill:#bdaf5a;
text-comp-op: color-burn;
text-size:10;

[zoom > 15] {text-size:13;}
[zoom > 17] {text-size:16;}
[zoom > 19] {text-size:19;}
[zoom > 20] {text-size:22;}

*Changing colours and texture of different elements and styles interaction with [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#compositing_operations Compositing Operations]
**Some popular compositing operations for pirate style map are [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#colorburn colour-burn] and [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#softlight soft-light].
**For a grainy effect, pick a suitable image with noise. An example is shown [http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/2%5B4%5D_8b5da581-bf8b-400b-a0eb-85db42768559.jpg here]
**You can choose any other types of texture you wish to put on the background (or buildings) on your map by selecting a suitable image.

polygon-pattern-file: url(img/noise512.png);
polygon-pattern-comp-op: soft-light;

*Line patterns with images
**Sometimes we want to have different line styles to represent a brown dirty trail or a railway track for example. We first need to have a image file where the size should be rather small - the height of the image will be the width of the line pattern and the width of the image will be repeated along the length of the line.

line-pattern-file:url(img/brownline.png);

*Icons on POIs are important to make the map more interactive and detailed aesthetically.

[type = "restaurant"]{
marker-file:url(img/restaurant.png);
marker-width:40;
[zoom = 22]{marker-width:80;}
[zoom = 20]{marker-width:20;}
}

Sources:
* CartoCSS and [[TileMill]]
* Ready made icons: [[Symbolkatalog]]

=== Step 4. Publish map ===
* On paper or on the web
* See e.g. [[TileMill]] or [[Geovisualisierung]]

== Database Schema ==

Table names and name rules (schema) of OSM data source:
* osm_points
* osm_lines
* osm_polygons
* osm_roads, osm_roads_gen0, ...
* osm_pois
* osm_boundaries (osm_boundaries_gen0, osm_boundaries_gen1, ...)

Table names follow the schema "<prefix>_<name>_<postfix>" e.g. for zoom levels:
* 0-10 => <name>_gen0
* 11-14 => <name>_gen1
* >= 12 => <name>

Auxiliary data source:
* Boundaries
* Terrain

* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Making boundaries (like from buildings) to make a hand-made effect.
**A ‘sketchy’ look to lines can be achieved by overlaying a number of line attachments with different smoothing values applied. By smoothing higher values, the lines are overlaid using the ‘multiply’ compositing operation. This make areas that overlap more appear darker.

::outline1, ::outline2, ::outline3, ::outline4 {
line-join: round;
line-color:#773d00;
line-smooth: 0.05;
line-width: 0.5;
}
::outline1{ line-smooth: 0.04; }
::outline2{ line-smooth: 0.06; }
::outline3{ line-smooth: 0.08; }
::outline4{ line-smooth: 0.10; }

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/
text-fill:#bdaf5a;
text-comp-op: color-burn;
text-size:10;

[zoom > 15] {text-size:13;}
[zoom > 17] {text-size:16;}
[zoom > 19] {text-size:19;}
[zoom > 20] {text-size:22;}

*Changing colours and texture of different elements and styles interaction with [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#compositing_operations Compositing Operations]
**Some popular compositing operations for pirate style map are [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#colorburn colour-burn] and [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#softlight soft-light].
**For a grainy effect, pick a suitable image with noise. An example is shown [http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/2%5B4%5D_8b5da581-bf8b-400b-a0eb-85db42768559.jpg here]
**You can choose any other types of texture you wish to put on the background (or buildings) on your map by selecting a suitable image.

polygon-pattern-file: url(img/noise512.png);
polygon-pattern-comp-op: soft-light;

*Line patterns with images
**Sometimes we want to have different line styles to represent a brown dirty trail or a railway track for example. We first need to have a image file where the size should be rather small - the height of the image will be the width of the line pattern and the width of the image will be repeated along the length of the line.

line-pattern-file:url(img/brownline.png);

*Icons on POIs are important to make the map more interactive and detailed aesthetically.
**For a pirate/vintage map, it is important to have plenty of POIs (like bars/restaurants/gardens) and have an "old fashioned" design icon and style it on the map.

[type = "restaurant"]{
marker-file:url(img/restaurant.png);
marker-width:40;
[zoom = 22]{marker-width:80;}
[zoom = 20]{marker-width:20;}
}

Sources:
* CartoCSS and [[TileMill]]
* Ready made icons: [[Symbolkatalog]]

=== Step 4. Publish map ===
* On paper or on the web
* See e.g. [[TileMill]] or [[Geovisualisierung]]

== Database Schema ==

Table names and name rules (schema) of OSM data source:
* osm_points
* osm_lines
* osm_polygons
* osm_roads, osm_roads_gen0, ...
* osm_pois
* osm_boundaries (osm_boundaries_gen0, osm_boundaries_gen1, ...)

Table names follow the schema "<prefix>_<name>_<postfix>" e.g. for zoom levels:
* 0-10 => <name>_gen0
* 11-14 => <name>_gen1
* >= 12 => <name>

Auxiliary data source:
* Boundaries
* Terrain

Making Maps from OpenStreetMap Data

HTan: /* Map Gallery */

See also [[OSM]], [[OpenStreetMap-Daten zu Karten aufbereiten]] (german) '''>> NOTE: This is work in progress... <<'''

== Overview ==

This is a handbook - a how to/knowhow page - about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.

If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others (see gallery).

If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.

See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at the official OSM Wiki.

NOTE: ''This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).''

== Map Gallery ==

Here are some available maps (map styles) based on OSM data and the database schema (explained below):

== Cookbook ==

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

Workflow:
* Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.
* The workflow consists of following steps:
** Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
** Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
** Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
** Step 3. Style data.
** Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

>> Work in progress... <<

== Overview ==

This is a how to/knowhow page about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.
* If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others.
* If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.
* This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).
* See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at OSM Wiki.

== Cookbook ==

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

== Workflow ==

Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.

The workflow consists of following steps:
* Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
* Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
* Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
* Step 3. Style data.
* Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Rapperswil-Jona

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Making boundaries (like from buildings) to make a hand-made effect.
**A ‘sketchy’ look to lines can be achieved by overlaying a number of line attachments with different smoothing values applied. By smoothing higher values, the lines are overlaid using the ‘multiply’ compositing operation. This make areas that overlap more appear darker.

::outline1, ::outline2, ::outline3, ::outline4 {
line-join: round;
line-color:#773d00;
line-smooth: 0.05;
line-width: 0.5;
}
::outline1{ line-smooth: 0.04; }
::outline2{ line-smooth: 0.06; }
::outline3{ line-smooth: 0.08; }
::outline4{ line-smooth: 0.10; }

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/

== Overview ==

This is a how to/knowhow page about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.
* If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others.
* If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.
* This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).
* See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at OSM Wiki.

== Cookbook ==

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

== Workflow ==

Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.

The workflow consists of following steps:
* Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
* Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
* Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
* Step 3. Style data.
* Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Rapperswil-Jona

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Making boundaries (like from buildings) to make a hand-made effect.
**A ‘sketchy’ look to lines can be achieved by overlaying a number of line attachments with different smoothing values applied. By smoothing higher values, the lines are overlaid using the ‘multiply’ compositing operation. This make areas that overlap more appear darker.

::outline1, ::outline2, ::outline3, ::outline4 {
line-join: round;
line-color:#773d00;
line-smooth: 0.05;
line-width: 0.5;
}
::outline1{ line-smooth: 0.04; }
::outline2{ line-smooth: 0.06; }
::outline3{ line-smooth: 0.08; }
::outline4{ line-smooth: 0.10; }

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/
text-fill:#bdaf5a;
text-comp-op: color-burn;
text-size:10;

[zoom > 15] {text-size:13;}
[zoom > 17] {text-size:16;}
[zoom > 19] {text-size:19;}
[zoom > 20] {text-size:22;}

*Changing colours and texture of different elements and styles interaction with [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#compositing_operations Compositing Operations]
**Some popular compositing operations for pirate style map are [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#colorburn colour-burn] and [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#softlight soft-light].
**For a grainy effect, pick a suitable image with noise. An example is shown [http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/2%5B4%5D_8b5da581-bf8b-400b-a0eb-85db42768559.jpg here]
**You can choose any other types of texture you wish to put on the background (or buildings) on your map by selecting a suitable image.

polygon-pattern-file: url(img/noise512.png);
polygon-pattern-comp-op: soft-light;

*Line patterns with images
**Sometimes we want to have different line styles to represent a brown dirty trail or a railway track for example. We first need to have a image file where the size should be rather small - the height of the image will be the width of the line pattern and the width of the image will be repeated along the length of the line.

line-pattern-file:url(img/brownline.png);

*Icons on POIs are important to make the map more interactive and detailed aesthetically.
**For a pirate/vintage map, it is important to have plenty of POIs (like bars/restaurants/gardens) and have an "old fashioned" design icon and style it on the map.

[type = "restaurant"]{
marker-file:url(img/restaurant.png);
marker-width:40;
[zoom = 22]{marker-width:80;}
[zoom = 20]{marker-width:20;}
}

Sources:
* CartoCSS and [[TileMill]]
* Ready made icons: [[Symbolkatalog]]

=== Step 4. Publish map ===
* On paper or on the web
* See e.g. [[TileMill]] or [[Geovisualisierung]]

== Database Schema ==

Table names and name rules (schema) of OSM data source:
* osm_points
* osm_lines
* osm_polygons
* osm_roads, osm_roads_gen0, ...
* osm_pois
* osm_boundaries (osm_boundaries_gen0, osm_boundaries_gen1, ...)

Table names follow the schema "<prefix>_<name>_<postfix>" e.g. for zoom levels:
* 0-10 => <name>_gen0
* 11-14 => <name>_gen1
* >= 12 => <name>

Auxiliary data source:
* Boundaries
* Terrain

== Cookbook ==

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

== Workflow ==

Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.

The workflow consists of following steps:
* Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
* Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
* Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
* Step 3. Style data.
* Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Rapperswil-Jona

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Making boundaries (like from buildings) to make a hand-made effect.
**A ‘sketchy’ look to lines can be achieved by overlaying a number of line attachments with different smoothing values applied. By smoothing higher values, the lines are overlaid using the ‘multiply’ compositing operation. This make areas that overlap more appear darker.

::outline1, ::outline2, ::outline3, ::outline4 {
line-join: round;
line-color:#773d00;
line-smooth: 0.05;
line-width: 0.5;
}
::outline1{ line-smooth: 0.04; }
::outline2{ line-smooth: 0.06; }
::outline3{ line-smooth: 0.08; }
::outline4{ line-smooth: 0.10; }

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/
text-fill:#bdaf5a;
text-comp-op: color-burn;
text-size:10;

[zoom > 15] {text-size:13;}
[zoom > 17] {text-size:16;}
[zoom > 19] {text-size:19;}
[zoom > 20] {text-size:22;}

*Changing colours and texture of different elements and styles interaction with [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#compositing_operations Compositing Operations]
**Some popular compositing operations for pirate style map are [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#colorburn colour-burn] and [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#softlight soft-light].
**For a grainy effect, pick a suitable image with noise. An example is shown [http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/2%5B4%5D_8b5da581-bf8b-400b-a0eb-85db42768559.jpg here]
**You can choose any other types of texture you wish to put on the background (or buildings) on your map by selecting a suitable image.

polygon-pattern-file: url(img/noise512.png);
polygon-pattern-comp-op: soft-light;

*Line patterns with images
**Sometimes we want to have different line styles to represent a brown dirty trail or a railway track for example. We first need to have a image file where the size should be rather small - the height of the image will be the width of the line pattern and the width of the image will be repeated along the length of the line.

line-pattern-file:url(img/brownline.png);

*Icons on POIs are important to make the map more interactive and detailed aesthetically.
**For a pirate/vintage map, it is important to have plenty of POIs (like bars/restaurants/gardens) and have an "old fashioned" design icon and style it on the map.

[type = "restaurant"]{
marker-file:url(img/restaurant.png);
marker-width:40;
[zoom = 22]{marker-width:80;}
[zoom = 20]{marker-width:20;}
}

Sources:
* CartoCSS and [[TileMill]]
* Ready made icons: [[Symbolkatalog]]

=== Step 4. Publish map ===
* On paper or on the web
* See e.g. [[TileMill]] or [[Geovisualisierung]]

== Database Schema ==

Table names and name rules (schema) of OSM data source:
* osm_points
* osm_lines
* osm_polygons
* osm_roads, osm_roads_gen0, ...
* osm_pois
* osm_boundaries (osm_boundaries_gen0, osm_boundaries_gen1, ...)

Table names follow the schema "<prefix>_<name>_<postfix>" e.g. for zoom levels:
* 0-10 => <name>_gen0
* 11-14 => <name>_gen1
* >= 12 => <name>

Auxiliary data source:
* Boundaries
* Terrain

== Overview ==

This is a how to/knowhow page about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.
* If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others.
* If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.
* This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Making boundaries (like from buildings) to make a hand-made effect.
**A ‘sketchy’ look to lines can be achieved by overlaying a number of line attachments with different smoothing values applied. By smoothing higher values, the lines are overlaid using the ‘multiply’ compositing operation. This make areas that overlap more appear darker.

::outline1, ::outline2, ::outline3, ::outline4 {
line-join: round;
line-color:#773d00;
line-smooth: 0.05;
line-width: 0.5;
}
::outline1{ line-smooth: 0.04; }
::outline2{ line-smooth: 0.06; }
::outline3{ line-smooth: 0.08; }
::outline4{ line-smooth: 0.10; }

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.

Map { font-directory: url(./fonts); }
@piratefont: "Aquiline","Mutlu","French Script MT Regular";

text-name:'[Name]';
text-face-name: "Aquiline";
text-allow-overlap: true; /*Control whether overlapping text is shown or hidden*/
text-fill:#bdaf5a;
text-comp-op: color-burn;
text-size:10;

[zoom > 15] {text-size:13;}
[zoom > 17] {text-size:16;}
[zoom > 19] {text-size:19;}
[zoom > 20] {text-size:22;}

*Changing colours and texture of different elements and styles interaction with [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#compositing_operations Compositing Operations]
**Some popular compositing operations for pirate style map are [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#colorburn colour-burn] and [https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/docs/guides/comp-op/#softlight soft-light].
**For a grainy effect, pick a suitable image with noise. An example is shown [http://photoshoptutorials.ws/images/stories/2%5B4%5D_8b5da581-bf8b-400b-a0eb-85db42768559.jpg here]
**You can choose any other types of texture you wish to put on the background (or buildings) on your map by selecting a suitable image.

polygon-pattern-file: url(img/noise512.png);
polygon-pattern-comp-op: soft-light;

*Line patterns with images
**Sometimes we want to have different line styles to represent a brown dirty trail or a railway track for example. We first need to have a image file where the size should be rather small - the height of the image will be the width of the line pattern and the width of the image will be repeated along the length of the line.

line-pattern-file:url(img/brownline.png);

*Icons on POIs are important to make the map more interactive and detailed aesthetically.
**For a pirate/vintage map, it is important to have plenty of POIs (like bars/restaurants/gardens) and have an "old fashioned" design icon and style it on the map.

[type = "restaurant"]{
marker-file:url(img/restaurant.png);
marker-width:40;
[zoom = 22]{marker-width:80;}
[zoom = 20]{marker-width:20;}
}

Sources:
* CartoCSS and [[TileMill]]
* Ready made icons: [[Symbolkatalog]]

=== Step 4. Publish map ===
* On paper or on the web
* See e.g. [[TileMill]] or [[Geovisualisierung]]

== Database Schema ==

Table names and name rules (schema) of OSM data source:
* osm_points
* osm_lines
* osm_polygons
* osm_roads, osm_roads_gen0, ...
* osm_pois
* osm_boundaries (osm_boundaries_gen0, osm_boundaries_gen1, ...)

Table names follow the schema "<prefix>_<name>_<postfix>" e.g. for zoom levels:
* 0-10 => <name>_gen0
* 11-14 => <name>_gen1
* >= 12 => <name>

Auxiliary data source:
* Boundaries
* Terrain

>> Work in progress... <<

== Overview ==

This is a how to/knowhow page about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.
* If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others.
* If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.
* This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).
* See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at OSM Wiki.

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

== Workflow ==

Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.

The workflow consists of following steps:
* Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
* Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
* Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
* Step 3. Style data.
* Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

>> Work in progress... <<

== Overview ==

This is a how to/knowhow page about making own web maps from [[OpenStreetMap]] data.
* If you are looking for making nice own '''base (or background) maps''' with own styling for print or web eventually within own region, and without programming skills - then this is the place to look for. Examples of personalized base maps are blind maps (maps without labels), the watercolor map from Stamen, OpenCycleMap among others.
* If you are looking for making a '''thematic map''' on top of given base maps, use [http://maperitive.net/ Maperitive] or [http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/ umap] or other applications (see [[Geovisualisierung]] (german)). Examples of thematic maps is [http://wheelmap.org/ Wheelmap] with infoboxes.
* This is still work in progress. Our plan (see Team below) is to put everything in a single script file (tbd.).
* See also [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Making_Overview Map Making Overview] at OSM Wiki.

== Cookbook ==

* Software: tbd.
* Data: tbd.
* Hardware: tbd.

See workflow.

Some background: Making maps actually means in this context transforming a dataset to graphics. Before being styled (or rendered) the dataset is being preprocessed which ultimately would be a one-click process - but it's not yet since technology and user demands are changing fast.

At least, we can make life easeier when the intermediate dataset structure is has some known rules: See e.g. database schema below.

== Workflow ==

Pls. note that this is still work in progress and thus experimental, suboptimal and at worst partially broken.

The workflow consists of following steps:
* Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data.
* Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data. You can skip to step 2 and jump to step 3 "Style data" if you are in a hurry.
* Step 2. Enhance and preprocess SQLite dataset.
* Step 3. Style data.
* Step 4. Publish map.

As said before, our goal is to wrap step 1 and 2 into one single Python script.

=== Step 0. Define map goals and prepare software and data ===

Define map goals:
* Choose from a map style
* or prepare yourself to define an own style.

Prepare software and data:
* Install software: [[OGR]]/Python, [[SpatiaLite]], [[TileMill]]
* Get config data, e.g. modified osmconf.ini
* Prepare clip boundary (e.g. liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson)
** Search for the desired country boundary from OpenStreetMap and copy the Relation id
** Open http://overpass-turbo.eu/ and insert the commands below with the desired Relation id
** Export the data as geoJSON and open as layer in TileMill

{type=relation}
{id=...}
<osm-script output="json">
<id-query type="{type}" ref="{id}"/>
<print mode="body"/>
<recurse type="down"/>
<print mode="skeleton"/>
</osm-script>

*An alternative to obtain the clip boundary is by [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WIWOSM WIWOSM] which is a project to show a wikipedia article geometric objects from OSM.
**For example if you want to clip the boundary of Rapperswil-Jona, simply obtain the Deutsch wikipedia page of Rapperswil-Jona which is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapperswil-Jona
**Note the wikipedia tag name (in this case it is Rapperswil-Jona) and replace it with ''Dresden''.
**Also note the language of the wiki and change to the appropriate language abbreviation (lang=de for Deutsch and lang=en for English).
**To obtain the geojson file content, simply open QGIS and ''Add Vector Layer''. Select ''Protocol'' and insert the URL with Type as GeoJSON and select Open.

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=de&article=Rapperswil-Jona

http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Dresden
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wiwosm/osmjson/getGeoJSON.php?lang=en&article=Singapore

=== Step 1. Download, convert and clip OSM data ===
* Open command line shell (PBF file in, SQLite/SpatiaLite file out):
> ogr2ogr -f "SQLite" liechtenstein.sqlite
/vsicurl/http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/liechtenstein-latest.osm.pbf
-dsco SPATIALITE=YES -skipfailures -progress -overwrite
--config OSM_CONFIG_FILE osmconf.ini -gt 65536
-clipsrc liechtenstein_schloss_bbox.geojson -clipsrclayer OGRGeoJSON
-nlt PROMOTE_TO_MULTI

Open points:
* Convert coordinates to Mercator?

Alternatives (not used further here; this does not mean they are unusable - in contrary! - but that the are just not considered for different reasons):
* QGIS - reads PDF/OSM data with OGR (like we do here) but with default config and without preprocessing.
* spatialite_osm_map (OSM import tool from Spatialite) - no config of own tag->attribute mapping, no clipping possible?
* osm2pgsql - requires PostGIS which is cumbersome being another local server software.
* osmosis - no tag->attribute mapping?

=== Step 2a. Enhance SQLite dataset ===
* Enhance dataset by shuffling geo objects around (using Spatialite, SQLite file in/out)
* Convert Polygons to Points and add them to points as POIs.
* Eventually convert multilinestring to linestring (can TileMill/Mapnik and QGIS handle multilinestrings/multipolygons?).

=== Step 2b. Do some other preprocessing ===
* use preprocessing tools (Python, SQLite file in/out)
* line smoothing of streets
* tbd.

Sources:
* http://www.imagico.de/map/water_generalize2_en.php

Ideas:
* DB related:
** Correct typos in tag values
** Correct and unify tag names
* Geometry related:
** Generalise geometry (line simplification and/or line smoothing) streets, forest, water bodies,

=== Step 3. Style data ===
* Start [[TileMill]]
**TileMill uses CartoCSS as a stylesheet language and is a design environment used for cartography.

*Making boundaries (like from buildings) to make a hand-made effect.
**A ‘sketchy’ look to lines can be achieved by overlaying a number of line attachments with different smoothing values applied. By smoothing higher values, the lines are overlaid using the ‘multiply’ compositing operation. This make areas that overlap more appear darker.

::outline1, ::outline2, ::outline3, ::outline4 {
line-join: round;
line-color:#773d00;
line-smooth: 0.05;
line-width: 0.5;
}
::outline1{ line-smooth: 0.04; }
::outline2{ line-smooth: 0.06; }
::outline3{ line-smooth: 0.08; }
::outline4{ line-smooth: 0.10; }

*Using a specific font which is unavailable in TileMill
**Create a directory to load fonts from in addition to the system directories
**Set up font sets for various weights and styles.
**Some suitable fonts/typefaces for a vintage pirate style are [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Aquiline-two Aquiline] and [http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Mutlu Mutlu]
**With the newly added fonts, we can apply it to legends, buildings etc at specific zoom levels and text size to suit the style of your map.
