Mention Kosmtik in documentation #1015

Closed pnorman closed 8 years ago

pnorman commented 10 years ago

We're mentioning TileMill in the docs - we should also mention Kosmtik, particularly as it works out of the box with YAML MML files.

This would touch INSTALL.md and CONTRIBUTING.md

This has been done in the meanwhile.

By the way, for those using Kosmtik: I created a little tool for comparing the development version on your local machine with the version on openstreetmap.org. It can be found here:

No install or set-up is necessary, just make sure that you have a (default) Kosmtik installation running and go the URL.

Note that Kosmtik uses Mapnik 3 by default and openstreetmap.org uses Mapnik 2, so this causes some differences in font rendering.

Just curious: why not using the kosmtik-map-compare plugin?

To be honest: I wasn't aware of its existence.

I also can't quite get it to work now I try it. I ran node index.js plugins --install kosmtik-map-compare and I added compareUrl: http://c.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png to the top of my yaml file, is there anything else I need to do?

I like the ability to slide left and right, it's really helpful for comparing. Is this also available in kosmtik-map-compare, or would it be possible to make it available?

Humm, what is not working specifically?

Not available, but that's a good point. Should be added, yes.

Now it works - I might have overlooked the 'compare' button the first time I tried.

That would be really cool!
