Is the a way to obtain Mapnik style #276

Closed seb49 closed 8 years ago

seb49 commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I'm on windows, it's not easy to work with OSM data and tools.

I'm able to build tile with mapnik and his default style. I'd like to do the same with HOT style but can't generate it.

Regards

Hi,

Congratulations for being able to build tiles with mapnik alone that can be difficult.

In my experience and many others, it is often easier to work with TileMill and edit the MSS files than editing mapnik's XML files. You can also try using Kosmtik - https://github.com/kosmtik/kosmtik

If you need to convert CartoCSS to mapnik XML, you'll have to install the carto binary - https://github.com/mapbox/carto

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a converter from mapnik XML to CartoCSS.

I think I was not clear,

I can build tile from osm data with mapnik but with the "default" style not HOT style carto seem doesn't work, the file "xml" is empty and no error message

Finally I have installed mapnik on Ubuntu 14 virtual machine. But when I type carto hdm.mml > hdm.xml nothing happened (only the file hmd.xml was created but it is empty). I think I need some shp files and configure cartocci.json file but I don't know what SHP files I need and where to find them

@bradh I saw your comment but it appears to have been deleted. Did you figure this out then?

@seb49 ; with Yohan's refactoring in several commits https://github.com/hotosm/HDM-CartoCSS/commit/f9088d03f9163306ebe7ad408ae4bd5a75b21e18 https://github.com/hotosm/HDM-CartoCSS/commit/8604d963becdc153efffe8cd1b27dedc00472661 https://github.com/hotosm/HDM-CartoCSS/commit/1343d1d1ab697bf0b21e6b2071f24b26a5a8040a https://github.com/hotosm/HDM-CartoCSS/commit/45a0847d9d4e27f9624ceda1286a7834839b733a , you should now be able to export the style to Mapnik XML if you open the project in kosmtik and select 'EXPORT' XML option in its GUI.

Re-open if you're still unable to export in kosmtik.

if you open the project in kosmtik and select 'EXPORT' XML option in its GUI.

You can also do that via the command line, with something like:

node index.js export --format xml

Use node index.js export --help to get more options.

Yep, I figured it out. Always the way, just after I post...
