OSM Buildings is a JavaScript library for showing building geometry on interactive maps.
Example: https://osmbuildings.org/
The standalone WebGL version odf OSM Buildings is located here: https://github.com/OSMBuildings/OSMBuildings
There is also documentation of OSM Buildings Server side: https://github.com/kekscom/osmbuildings/blob/master/docs/server.md
Example https://osmbuildings.org/
It's safe use the master branch for production.
For further information visit https://osmbuildings.org, follow @osmbuildings on Twitter or report issues here on Github.
Link Leaflet and OSM Buildings files in your HTML head section.

Initialize the map engine and add a map tile layer.
Position is set to Berlin at zoom level 17, I'm using Mapbox tiles here.
var map = new L.Map('map').setView([52.52020, 13.37570], 17);
new L.TileLayer('https://{s}.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/<YOUR KEY HERE>/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
{ attribution: 'Map tiles © <a href="https://mapbox.com">Mapbox</a>', maxZoom: 17 }).addTo(map);
Add the buildings layer.
new OSMBuildings(map).load();
As a popular alternative, you could pass a GeoJSON FeatureCollection object.
Geometry types Polygon, Multipolygon and GeometryCollection are supported.
Make sure the building coordinates are projected in EPSG:4326.
Height units m, ft, yd, mi are accepted, no given unit defaults to meters.
var geoJSON = {
"type": "FeatureCollection",
"features": [{
"type": "Feature",
"id": 134,
"geometry": {
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [[
[13.37356, 52.52064],
[13.37350, 52.51971],
[13.37664, 52.51973],
[13.37594, 52.52062],
[13.37356, 52.52064]
]]
},

"wallColor": "rgb(255,0,0)",

};
new OSMBuildings(map).set(geoJSON);

Initialize the map engine and add a map tile layer.
Position is set to Berlin at zoom level 17.
var map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());
var osm = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM();
map.addLayer(osm);
map.setCenter(
new OpenLayers.LonLat(13.37570, 52.52020)
.transform(
new OpenLayers.Projection('EPSG:4326'),
map.getProjectionObject()
),
17
);
Add the buildings layer.
new OSMBuildings(map).load();
Constructor | Description |
---|---|
new OSMBuildings(map) | Initializes the buildings layer for a given map engine. Currently Leaflet and OpenLayers are supported. |
Constants
Option | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
ATTRIBUTION | String | Holds OSM Buildings copyright information. |
VERSION | String | Holds current version information. |
Methods
Method | Description |
---|---|
style({Object}) | Set default styles. See below for details. |
date(new Date(2017, 15, 1, 10, 30))) | Set date/time for shadow projection. |
each({Function}) | A callback wrapper to override each feature's properties on read. Return false in order to skip a particular feature. Callback receives a feature object as argument. |
click({Function}) | A callback wrapper to handle click events on features. Callback receives an object { featureId{number,string}, lat{float}, lon{float} } as argument. |
set({GeoJSON FeatureCollection}) | Just add GeoJSON data to your map. |
load({Provider}) | Without parameter, it loads OpenStreetMap data tiles via an OSM Buildings proxy. This proxy enables transparent data filtering and caching. Interface of such provider is to be published. |
