Crib a Tangram style as basemap #18

Closed danrademacher closed 6 years ago

danrademacher commented 6 years ago

We know we want to make a general purpose Tangram style for two reasons:

  1. Better underlayment for the Date Issues map (https://openhistoricalmap.github.io/openhistoricaltiles/dateerrors/#14/40.7721/-119.2137)
  2. Better future use for a date filter slider

We know lots of people who worked on these. And the endpoints on this page provide the style files: https://www.nextzen.org/

Live previews: https://tangrams.github.io/cinnabar-style https://tangrams.github.io/refill-style https://tangrams.github.io/tron-style https://tangrams.github.io/walkabout-style

Based on that, I would say Cinnabar is best starting point: image

Typical "map" colors, no relief, nothing too fancy.

Seems like we might want to find a time when @mojodna is available to consult on this, since we've never worked with full scale Tangram styles

ffad440 -- Refactored the basemap into a separate L.tileLayer instance, so the VLAYER Tangram vectile layer is 100% separate. Renamed scene.yaml to scene-dateerrors.yaml to "make room" for there being more than one.

The goal here was to rework the dateerrors map, so as to use OHM as a basemap and overlay the OHM-errors. We may want to shelve this though, as that goal is achieved in #3 with Mapbox GL technology.

Closing this out given Mapbox GL progress on #3
